"Taj Pamodzi Review"
1 night Arrived 8 Oct 2013
"Spent one night at the tail end of my trip before returning to HKG. It's a comfortable property. Had drinks and dinner at the bar before going to bed for a very early flight.
The food took forever to be served so the hotel comped my drinks. The room was spartan but fine. I assume for Lusaka it was the best option. I'd stay there again." See all these reviews: 8n in Zambia

"Taj Pamodzi a brief overnight stay"
1 night Arrived 18 Sep 2013
"Maybe we were getting tired after a visit to Livingstone Museum and flight to Lusaka. Why was that hotel selected for us? It was not one I knew and the journey from airport at 1930, and then back again at 0630 seemed more than necessary for a reasonable short overnight stay. We had a good meal, but I think we could have saved money being nearer the airport.
We had no time to go into town and did not expect to, we had no time for use of any facilities, spa, pools, and did not expect to, but we could have had a less expensive conclusion to our trip." See all these reviews: 9n in Zambia

"A brief but good stay at the Taj Pamodzi"
1 night Arrived 25 Aug 2013
"We were only in the hotel for 10-11 hours (overnight), but were very happy with the food, the room, the location and all the help we received there.
Having stayed elsewhere in Lusaka in transit, I would definitely return to the Taj - ideally with time to use the pool..." See all these reviews: 7n in Zambia

"This served our purpose well. We had meetings in Lusaka and this provided a very good base.

"Overnight stop before flying home"
1 night Arrived 18 Aug 2013
"The stay at the Taj Pamodzi was a practical necessity - because of the timings of our flights. The hotel was fine - nothing special, but it met our needs. It was interesting to see a little of Lusaka as we drove from the airport, and the contrast with Mfuwe was very interesting."

"Taj Pamodzi hotel - one night"
1 night Arrived 9 Aug 2013
"We booked 3 twin rooms and were give 2 twin and a double which was changed, and we had to wait about half an hour which was irritating.
We asked at the reception desk for early wake up calls but no-one got one. Perhaps iit was our fault as we could have done it from the room.
good breakfast" See all these reviews: 9n in Zambia

"a disappointment after the camps"
1 night Arrived 26 Jul 2013
"Too large and impersonal. On arrival they had me mixed up with another Turner which took time to sort out and it was late and I was tired so not good.
In the morning they had the bill wrong - charged me for the room - which again had to be sorted out. Although I had breakfast included I had to leave at 06.20 so it was really too early to have it." See all these reviews: 9n in Zambia

"As a regular visitor to the Pamodzi I find it an ideal place to stay in Lusaka. The staff are very attentive and welcoming.
We made good use of the gym and associated facilities." See all these reviews: 8n in Zambia; 7n in Namibia; 1n in South Africa
