I wasn’t informed of the renovations and so it was very noisy. The rooms were clean though but there was a lot of drilling and building noise all day long. I also was unable to swim because pool was being renovated too. Restaurant was great.

Pamodzi is under new ownership and the soon to be Hyatt-affiliated property is undergoing substantial redevelopmemt, both inside and out. (So, there can be construction noise.) Current pluses: while oringinally built in 1979 and showing some age, the rooms are a good size, well eqipped, aircon and electricity reliable, and rooms are quiet (it was a solidly built hotel). Wifi worked consistently for 4 days, and staff were responsive. Excellent chicken quesadilla (a new dish on the menu). Location is good for government and business meetings. Minor issues: ongoing construction, prices are a bit high, especially for breakfast buffett, and there are signs of age. But this will be a significantly rejuvenated property in 6-12 months.

Great Lusaka Hotel

Great hotel in Central Lusaka, half an hour from the airport (600 kwachi cab ride). Feels upscale. Good food in the restaurants and breakfast buffet. Clean room, nice and quiet, good neighborhood, surprisingly affordable. I stayed two nonconsecutive nights and had an equally excellent experience both times.

Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Amenities
I think it was way affordable now than it used to be and so large families with kids stayed there. The kids kept running up and down the hall keeping my baby awake. The name and brand of the Taj was so high that not any family can afford it, so that was disappointing. I could have paid extra for peace. In addition , my bathing water was cold both days after asking them to fix it many times. Pretty disappointing

The excellent staff and service is what sets this hotel apart. The masala dosa in the morning is a highlight. Unfortunately, the rooms are showing their age and upgrades are needed. I have stayed at the hotel 4 times now. There was no hot water and the toilet would take 1 hour to refill the tank after flushing. Hopefully a renovation is in the works.

The hotel was OK however the room I stayed had an old carpet which seemed damp. And whenever electricity went off and they switched on the generator, the wifi in my room would go off.
