10 Bed and Breakfast Inns in Lusaka: Best hotel deals for 2023

May 3, 2023 Almeta Stockton

Lusaka, the capital and largest city in Zambia, can be a confusing and chaotic place for visitors not familiar with its unplanned neighborhoods and streets. Busy stores and shopping centers line Cairo Road and the surrounding area. Nearby covered markets sell anything from souvenir figurines to spare engine parts. Just south of Lusaka is the Munda Wanga Environmental Park, which features botanic gardens, a wildlife park and sanctuary, picnic areas, swimming pools, and a relaxing terrace bar.

I stayed at this hotel for an overnight between flights. It provided everything one would expect from this brand. Modern, clean and quiet rooms, a large, new, spacious and comfortable bed, and courteous service. The chef veganized one of the room service meals for me, which was greatly appreciated.

Enjoyable stay

Reviewed By davestly

I was working not far from River Bird so I chose it based on other reviews. I really did have a good time here. A very comfortable and clean place with everything I needed. The wifi worked well for me. It was good to have a decent choice of TV channels on the DSTV system. Breakfast was good. I used the pool once when I had time. Most of all, the owners and staff went out of their way to help with anything and were very friendly. I will certainly stay here again if I find myself in Lusaka.

Beautiful architecture but a bit remote

Reviewed By Jisteinert

The facilitiess are very beautiful and the industrial loft style is very appealing and stylish. The bar area and pool js also very nice and the bar tender friendly. However, the location is a bit far from most places in Lusaka and taxis are not too cheap. Also, the reception staff was not very helpful. Credit card machines did not work, they first didn't remember my friends' booking and they did not want us to store our suitcases in a safe place after check out. So service could have been considerably improved.

I had read mixed reviews about this lodge and was little sceptical.But unfortunately finding self catering apartments in my budget was hard, so went for this one.We choose 2 bedroom executive apartment. The booking in process was not smooth.I emailed...no response,I called and got it booked and requested confirmation by sms as their internet was not working.Then after couple of days got response by email too......confirmed our date of arrival and nights of stay etc........a day before leaving called again and lo behold we were still not booked....okay so they had availability and booked us there and then but for 1 bedroom apartment....arrived next day and managed to find the 2 bedroom one also available so went for it.... The lodge was clean and well maintained.Our apartment was clean and sofa,bed,carpet etc was clean and apparently less used.The kitchen had less crockery and cutlery but a phone call to reception rectified that. The pool is nice and well maintained and we made good use of it all three days of our stay....The lodge offered breakfast to its residents and it was fresh and well balanced. Overall we had good time and mean to stay here again the next time we are in Lusaka.

My wife,kid and I stay at this place for 3 days. They don't have a bar which was not a problem coz I don't drink anyway. I must they have good management and treat clients well. They provided porridge for my son which was great and hot water is always there. They can improve other services but this place is not bad at all considering the location also it's great.
