This is a nice place for the money in Lusaka. The only beef I had was their poor communication with us regarding the size of rooms we needed. They set us up on the pool deck, and fortunately we had good weather.

Well managed "Old School" hotel.

Well managed with very good food. I appreciated the transparency of Ross, the manager on the times when the generator needed servicing. It is a very challenging time for Zambia but the hotel is still functioning well.
