For a super-value option, and a location right beside the Falls, choose the Zambezi Sun. It's adjacent to its sibling-hotel, the Royal Livingstone.
The atmosphere at the Zambezi Sun is informal, and the design fun and colourful throughout. At the centre of the hotel is a huge, curving swimming pool with a restaurant and café/bar adjacent. Its 212 rooms are comfortable, but not large, with en-suite shower, toilet and washbasin.
The Zambezi Sun is a large hotel, but its superb location and excellent value make it a good choice for a brief stop in Livingstone.
