Best customer service
Pros:

The staff is perfect, the service is excellent. I was never so well attended to and trust me I have been traveling the world for over 30 years.

As I said, I give 10 stars out of five to this hotel for valuing the customer.

Fantastic
Pros:

I like the place!!!!
The service from Scholastica was excellent. She definitely made me understand the local cuisine, I now love the Lamb on a bone and the Nankone rice.

Intercontinental is definitely a place to be when I come to Lusaka Zambia next.

A Flawless Stay
Pros:

From the moment we arrived, the intercontinental Hotel exceeded every expectation. The staff namely Gina and Precious greeted us warmly by name and made us feel like valued guests rather than just another booking. Check-in was seamless and quick as Gina had already anticipated our arrival and I was immediately recognised as a member. The rooms were immaculate and the breakfast was very good this time around. We will absolutely be returning. 10/10 — highly recommended.

My Wonderful Stay at the InterContinental hotel in Lusaka
Pros:

The room spacious, comfortable; the layout is fantastic; its a home from home. i can do all my office work in the room.
the room is fabulously clean; the staff are lovely, friendly and made really happy, comfortable, and got the homely feeling.
it is always easy to get to the hotel from the Airpoart. the views, scenery and setting are fantastic through the looking from room 605 for example, looking southwards. the setting in the room is really homely and clean.
the floors are sparkingly clean, the staff are very, very freindly in the Restaurant, the Dining Room and the Reception staff are wonderful. i want whoever trains your staff to train my staff at the two hopspitals we opperate in Kitwe and Mufulira.
the staff are just wonderful; i would keep recommending them to the InterContintal hotel in Lusaka.

Lovely stay
Pros:

Our stay at the InterContinental Lusaka was a truly refined experience. The rooms felt beautifully designed ,modern, immaculate, and exceptionally comfortable, with a sense of understated luxury throughout. What stood out most, however, was the warmth of the staff, who were consistently gracious and attentive without being overbearing.

The hotel’s central location made everything effortlessly accessible, which added to the overall ease of the stay. The only area that didn’t quite match the otherwise high standard was the restaurant service, which was noticeably slow at times.

That said, it did little to take away from what was otherwise a polished and thoroughly enjoyable stay we would absolutely return.
