I recently stayed at The Urban Hotel Lusaka and was impressed by its modern design and high-quality amenities. The rooms were clean and well-appointed, providing a comfortable stay. The on-site restaurant offered a good selection of meals, and the staff were friendly and attentive. The hotel's location near embassies and government offices was convenient, and its proximity to a shopping center (15 minutes driving distance) was a plus. Overall, it was a pleasant experience, and I would recommend it to others visiting Lusaka.

Good value for money

Great location for me as it is close to work. Very comfortable room and lobby. I had à la carte dinner at the restaurant and really enjoyed the food. Hallway can be a bit noisy (no carpet to absorb the noises).and breakfast buffet (normally opened at 6:30am) wasn't fully displayed until almost 7am.
