"Radisson Blu Hotel review"

1 night Arrived 16 Sep 2022
"We were met by very welcoming staff who upgraded us to a business class room which was a lovely surprise. Lovely room, bar by pool and we booked the evening meal at the Chuma grill. It was lovely to be eating outside on a warm evening, enjoy the BBQ buffet and listen to a very good live local band. Overall a great start to our holiday" See all these reviews: 8n in Zambia; 5n in Malawi

"I stayed at the Radisson Blu for one night before flying into Mfuwe the next morning.

It is conveniently close to Lusaka airport, and I have stayed there several times previously.

The rooms are spacious and the restaurant has an excellent menu ." See all these reviews: 15n in Zambia

"Radisson Blu Hotel review"

1 night Arrived 19 Jun 2019
"Needs a repair.

This is a great looking hotel, very modern, clean and the food was good. Having said that there are problems. The hotel generator that kicks in during power outages is very noisy and affects guests staying on the left side of the hotel. A notice is on the table regarding this problem and is addressed to the guests. We moved to the right sided rooms. However, after unpacking, and after having dinner, we found that there was no hot water in our room. Too tired to move, we just took showers that I'm sure were fast enough to save the hotel on the water bill. The hotel was otherwise quite nice and I would return there but check out the hot water on the first floor first!"

1 night Arrived 3 Jun 2019
"There was a power outage scheduled for the middle of the night.

Knowing this, they put us in a room right by the generator anyway, so we could not sleep. In the am, there was no hot water for a shower.

Bad experience." See all these reviews: 16n in Zambia

"Radisson Blu Hotel review"

1 night Arrived 24 Aug 2018
"The hotel was comfortable. We booked two rooms - a queen and a twin. On check in they gave us two queens. Moved the boys to another room, which also had a queen. Finally moved them to the room next door to us, which was two twins, so all was good.

We had drinks at the bar. the staff were friendly. We had dinner in the restaurant. Had the buffet. Didn't realize there was an a la carte menu.

They had no record of the fact that we had paid through Expert Africa. Insisted on taking our card, and put a hold on the account.

Check out was a pain. One guy on duty, who was dealing with someone else, and showed no urgency, despite a line of four people. We had a flight to catch, so we just left.

Highlight of the hotel - The tub in the bathroom." See all these reviews: 8n in Zambia; 3n in Zimbabwe
