I wasn’t informed of the renovations and so it was very noisy. The rooms were clean though but there was a lot of drilling and building noise all day long. I also was unable to swim because pool was being renovated too. Restaurant was great.

Great Lusaka Hotel

Great hotel in Central Lusaka, half an hour from the airport (600 kwachi cab ride). Feels upscale. Good food in the restaurants and breakfast buffet. Clean room, nice and quiet, good neighborhood, surprisingly affordable. I stayed two nonconsecutive nights and had an equally excellent experience both times.
