Nice property ruined by an obvious lack of management. Just to list a few ins. One night stay: we had called ahead for the hotel shuttle, which was confirmed. Never showed up, had to take a cab. We were woken up at 5:15 am for a shuttle request we never did. Had dinner in the restaurant: service was entirely absent at first , then took just short of an hour to get a salad. Breakfast: no more coffee, then went to make a fresh pot, it never happened (we got coffee from the bar). We were offered hot breakfast after we had finished , etc. Top management has obviously given up. What a shame

Convenient proximity to airport building

Welcoming staff and brand new fittings etc. Room was soundproof and airconditioning worked well and quiet despite the electricity propblems facing Zambia. There are some teething proplems with especially the toilet and the interconnecting room is not soundproof at all. Could clearly hear my neighbour.

An extremely (!) friendly check-in let me feel at home from the first moment. The room was nicely furbished and the bed/matress very comfortable. Two points for improvement: - no ashtrays in the public spaces - in an explicit airport hotel I'd expect something like small amenity kit containing a comb/hair brush etc. Anyway, I'm looking forward to my next stay here.

Fresh and friendly

The stay here was very good. Newly opened, everything is very fresh and in reasonably good order. The staff is very friendly and serviceminded. This is the kind of hotel that I am happy to stay in and it is right next to the terminal building. No problems to walk the 250m to the hotel from arrivals, but since we arrived at night, the hotel arranged a shuttle.
