Very good, lovely hotel near Lubumbashi center
Pros:

Beautiful grounds, including the central courtyard with the pool. I had a very large bedroom (8) - the bathroom was recently renovated. Very nice restaurant - I had dinner there twice. Excellent service by all staff I saw, with great housekeeping. Good balance between being reasonably central, and reasonably quiet for Lubumbashi, away from the noise and bustle of the center.

Cons:

Common problem of this kind of hotel: Not enough outlets, and some were loose. Restaurant is pricey. Some rooms have covered terraces - mine (room 8) just had a couple chairs outside the terrace - I did envy the ones with shade.

Shower didn't drain well and flooded the bathroom the first day. Luckily there was nothing but a bath mat on the floor. I told the staff but it was not better the next days, so I just took shorter showers.

In the bed area of the room (which, again, was HUGE), there was no way to have natural light and privacy - the windows were right by the walkway, and to have natural light the curtains just needed to be open (no translucent privacy screens, or blinds).

Passable
Pros:

Classy restaurant and bars. Located well at the center of Lubumbashi but away from major traffic and noise.

Cons:

It would seem the hotel is more focused on its restaurant business than improving the guest experience in the rooms. Poor internet connectivity and overpriced drinks and snacks.
