"An acceptabl;e stop-over hotel"
1 night Arrived 19 Dec 2007
"Drinks and food are expensive, but otherwise it was clean and confortable, and the staff were very courteous.
The shuttle bus was waiting for us on arrival, and having double-double checked the night before, it was also waiting for us next morning at 5.30am as requested. Allow at least 20 mins to checkout at that time of the morning! There seems to be lots of paperwork." See all these reviews: 12n in Zambia

"Taj Pamodzi"
1 night Arrived 2 Nov 2007

Arrangements to transport us to and from Lusaka airport all went very smoothly and it was interesting to get a brief glimpse of the city as we drove to and from the hotel." See all these reviews: 11n in Zambia

"Pleasant city hotel"
1 night Arrived 8 Oct 2007
"Efficient, well run.
Nice bar for pre-dinner drinks and snacks. Excellent big pool. Fantastic and very reasonably priced massages in health centre
functional but acceptable rooms, with good view. Good buffet breakfast.
Failed to collect us from the airport on arrival and had to be chased up - almost an hour's wait. Shuttle to airport on morning of return flight to UK of no use, leaving at 5.30 (less than half an hour journey) for a 8.50 flight.
We ate out (Lusaka Club) - taxi easily obtained at hotel." See all these reviews: 9n in Zambia
