Pros:

The staff were very friendly and helpful. Meals were generally okay but I felt a bit expensive.

Cons:

The bathroom fan was noisy, the door didn't lock when using the latch inside. The surrounding noise from outside was unbearable and had to move rooms.

Pros:

The hotel was mostly clean and tidy.
Staff was pretty friendly.

Cons:

The hotel is way overpriced for what you are getting.
Food and drinks are really expensive for the quality.
Gym is basically non existent and a real problem as I stayed for almost 2 weeks.
We had multiple people join the stay in the time I was there and twice I arranged for a shuttle from the airport it was late.

Pros:

Amazing staff - very friendly, attentive and helpful. The location for my needs was excellent. Bonus for the off-street parking, the help from the staff getting smaller Kwacha notes, and the Kariba bream and Nshima meal from the restaurant.
