Pros:

Please offer the right ads and avoid misleading clients. Further when a client cancels work with the booking agent to have them receive their money.

Pros:

It was quiet and peaceful.
Maintenance of fittings both electrical and plumbing needs improvement. The wall paper also needs attention

Ok for one night stay..
Pros:

To refuse one additional toilet roll as only one per day is issued is rather petty IMO. The room was spacious, however, the aircon from adjacent room was so noisy and vibrating that it majorly disturbed the quiet ambience of room. The bed was an old wire sprung mattress and was uncomfortable as were the pillows. Not ideal.

Not bad and good price.
Pros:

A small hotel, in fact not very clean with small rooms and not very good service. Small restaurant and slow service. You have to wait long for beer or coffee, but the food is good. Cheap. Everything look there like old and dusty. Its ok for maximum few nights. Ofcourse You can stay there because its safe place and very close to the center of city, but it could be better to spend little more money and choose better palce.

Ok for a short stay
Pros:

If you need to spend a quick night in Lusaka, or the area is the one that fits you it's a fair option.

Apart from that is a very basic/budget hotel.
Quite noisy, specially on weekends.
Cleaning is not the best.
Breakfast is quite basic with little options.

Anyway for the price and considering the area is a fair option.

Bad Experience
Pros:

I stayed for a night and the shower fixture wasn't working. The phone in the room wasn't working. To make matters worse, the television channels were just stuck to telenovelas and I couldn't watch anything else.

Good for short stay!
Pros:

Nice hotel for 85USD per night.Clean rooms and breakfast is good.A small supermarket called cheers is next to the hotel and there is a taxi stand nearby.The building in the pic is not the lodge,it is the restaurant and i have no idea of the rooms above. The actual room and reception are behind this building and are neat with lots of parking space.
