"The staff here were super friendly from the manager to the housekeeping staff, we felt very safe here. The rooms are a bit rough and ready and there was no hot water but this is central Lusaka and the price was good. The bed was comfortable and there was nice seating outside the rooms. There is a big mirror on the ceiling above the bed which was a little strange but everyone here was very nice, we would stay here again if we needed a cheap stopover in Lusaka."
