"Radisson Blu Hotel review"
1 night Arrived 5 Aug 2016
"The hotel itself was good as expected as we had used it before and the room clean and large.
However the service in the dining room during our evening meal was bad being exceptionally slow and this was aggravated bearing in mind we a nine year old with us who was very tired after a long journey.
Whilst we were on a bed and breakfast basis as we had to leave early they had a grab and run table laid up at reception which was self service for a drink a dry bread roll and limited fruit. Not really what one would expect for a hotel of this standard." See all these reviews: 15n in Zambia

"Radisson Blu Hotel review"
1 night Arrived 3 Aug 2016
"I expected worse, but it was a decent sanctuary in Lusaka. Got the sense it was focused more on business, but the rooms were fine, and the food was quite good. The breakfast buffet in particular.
It's located on the airport side of Lusaka, so we never ventured into the city. Not sure we went to the right mall across the street. It was a little seedy. Pretty strong security presence at the hotel to keep people from entering the premises." See all these reviews: 9n in Zambia; 3n in Rwanda

"Overnight stop at the Radisson Blu"
1 night Arrived 18 Sep 2015
"This hotel is located a short drive from Lusaka airport, and was ideal for an overnight stay.
Our room was spacious, quiet and comfortable. We relaxed by the pool with a Mosi, watching the sun set before moving to the restaurant, where we had a good dinner." See all these reviews: 16n in Zambia

"Easy overnight stay"
1 night Arrived 1 Jul 2015
"We were staying overnight in Lusaka before heading out on safari. The hotel was very convenient, clean and comfortable.
We had dinner in the bar and the food was tasty and service were prompt and friendly. We had an early check out, before the hotel serves breakfast, but they had a "grab and go" table which meant we could have hot drinks, fruit and pastries before we left which was welcome."
