Taj Pamodzi Hotel review
We were pleasantly surprised to find the quality of this hotel equallled anything of a similar rating we have experienced in Europe or USA.
Although we had read adverse comments about the airport shuttle, we found it prompt and straightforward.
3 days in Lusaka
The hotel is a very high standard - although as a business hotel, a bit more formal than the others on the trip, but that did not affect the welcome and service we recieved. The lobby staff and bar staff were very helpful and friendly and the food was excellent - particulalry the Friday night curry night.
While Lusaka is not a typical tourist destnation, it is well worth a visit for anyone who want's to experience the real Zambia and we felt extremely comfortable walk around - both in the city centre and in some of the surrounding areas near the hotel.
Return to Taj Pamodzi Hotel
The hotel staff were pleased to see us and surprised when we returned for yet another day after our flight back to the UK was delayed. They were all most helpful.

We have stayed in many city centre hotels around the world, .......................and this was one of them! As an overnight stop it did the job, but wasnothing special. The bed linen and towels seemed laundered, but were a bit stained in places. Overall the hotel rooms lookstired and need a refurb. Next time we will try a different hotel.
Having said that, the band playing in the grill restaurant is worth checking out, although the food was average.
Comfortable & friendly Taj Pamodzi Hotel
We both liked this hotel very much and felt the staff much warmer and friendlier than in Dar. Again we were pleased to have the opportunity to see another city and liked having an interesting guide to take us around on our city tour. We both feel it is important to try and understand, if possible, how the local people feel, how there education system works and how they cope with high unemployment etc.
The food was always of high standard and well presented.
Taj Pamodzi Hotel review
Unfortunately as I did not arrive at the Taj Pamodzi until 22:00 and was leaving the hotel at 06:00 the next morning I am not really in the position to comment on the hotel properly.
I did feel that it was a long drive to the airport and that given the BA flight time was known some provision should have been made to provide some form of breakfast on the day of departure.
Taj Pamodzi Hotel
Friendly, business class hotel. Good sized, clean rooms. Well used by local business community.
Pick up and drop off at Lusaka Airport.
Taj Pamodzi Hotel review
No transfer bus waiting for us at the airport. (A hotel bus arrived to deliver aircrew but refused to take us or ring the hotel, despite having a mobile 'phone!)
Managed to get Proflight to ring the hotel and a bus arrived over an hour after we got through Customs. Advised Management (who apologised) and said we would be letting you know about their pick up failure.
Return to airport well organised by the Concierge and left/arrived on time.
Taj Pamodzi Hotel review
The Taj Pamodzi is a good all round stopover hotel near the airport. When we attempted to order a cocktail in the cocktail bar they could not provide our first two choices from their list.

We have always believed that acting responsibly is the only way to approach tourism and we're one of
the few companies to hold AITO's original coveted 5-star status for responsible tourism. It's a lead
that others are now following.
