The following are the real pictures and videos I took when I checked into the hotel that day. I stayed in room 12 that day. Hotel location: Lusaka has convenient transportation. Hotel facilities: Look at the pictures for yourself, which were taken when I checked in that day. Look at the pictures for bedding and linens, the bed is quite comfortable. Hotel decoration: Look at the pictures for yourself. Toilet: The youth hostel is public, but we have 2 rooms and one toilet. Breakfast: Look at the pictures for yourself. Hotel service staff: I personally think they are very service-minded and quite considerate during my stay. The pictures of the hotel are consistent with the pictures of the room I actually stayed in.

A great large youth hostel with a great location. There is a supermarket 300 meters away and 1 km from the bus station. You can take a minibus to see the waterfall. The beds in the youth hostel are comfortable and the air conditioning is great! There is a small swimming pool in the yard and the kitchen can be used for cooking!

I stayed here twice (June 2024 in a private room and Aug 2024 in a dorm). Nice place with a decent communal area and ok traveller vibes chatting to others. Well located near to East Park mall and good access to and from the airport. Main issue is that it has no generator so there's no power during Lusaka's many - at least in 2024 - powercuts. Food is slow. Overall decentish value for the price.

This is a really cozy spot minutes away from East park mall/Acacia park. Location is super convenient for catching Yango rides at all times during the day. The staff are very friendly and accommodating - Justin and Theresa were really helpful and communicative! They are understanding of any last minute changes / adjustments to travel plans and are willing to work with you on it! They have a nice store room where you can leave your luggage as you are traveling around the country on short trips. Would definitely go back again!

We stayed in the lodge for one night. The pick-up from the airport was excellent and the people here are very kind and helpful. The room was clean, fresh and mosquito nets were provided. The food was very delicious and we really enjoyed our stay here!
