Unpleasant experience
Stayed in their penthouse, the room was great. I booked a room with a balcony but was given 88, the one facing the mall. I was informed that the one I booked had pipe issues. Loved the decor and layout but boy did the mosquitoes eat me up!!!!! As if that wasn’t enough, I wasn’t able to sleep a wink due to the loud music coming from a nearby club. It sounded like the music was being played downstairs. I can’t say if I’d like to stay at this hotel again.

The twin room I had as a solo resident was very pokey - no space. No table in the room to work on my laptop. I asked for a table but was told I couldn't get one. They said they would change me to a room with a table. Asked me to wait in the lobby, which I did for over an hour, but nobody sorted it out. Needs more shelving on the walls. Far too pretentious. Too much emphasis on the cargo theme of the hotel and not on what customers actually need. The plastic cactus stuck to the small shelf took priority over my laptop space. Lusaka was very cold at the time, but there was no heating in the main reception / atrium area.
