The airport shuttle was punctual. The staff were very friendly and professional doing their best to help guests enjoy their stay. The room was spacious and had all the needed elements of convenience [complimentary toiletries, water bottles, kettle and an assortment of beverages (tea, coffee, and herbal teas), and a perfect wardrobe with a safe and an ironing set]. The complimentary breakfast included both national and international items to accommodate different tastes. The location of the hotel is very convenient with two malls within a walking distance. Thank you Protea Hotel Lusaka staff for your decency and professionalism.

Very thin no varieties. I ate the same thing everyday. You even ran out of rye bread on Friday. Its good for one night only but 5 was too monotonous.
The TV has very few stations. Not entertaining and not enough news varieties.

Breakfast & Location : Good
From Outside it looks like an old building and was a bit taken back.
With some painting it will greatly help.

The location of the hotel is ideal for walking to many different restaurants. It is also nicely located for people needing to do work at the Show Grounds as you avoid traffic getting to and from work. The staff are friendly and the airport shuttle is reliable.
The restaurant has disappointed me for 3 consecutive stays. Dishes like curries and pastas have been sent back for being excessively oily. One can literally fill table spoons from the dish with oil. This has happened twice. The meat served can sometimes be tough. Fortunately the hotel is close to many other restaurants. When checking out it was clear that the staff had insufficient training in checking out visitors. It took me more than 30 minutes from when I was helped until I was actually done. The receptionist kept making mistakes having to redo the invoice and was unsure how card machines worked. I was disappointed that no colleagues jumped in to assist when they could see it taking a long time to get checked out. A hold was placed on my card when I checked in, and it had not been lifted 4 days after I had checked out after having paid in full, meaning one can run into some cashflow issues when your accommodation is effectively charged twice. I also could not find a direct email address for this hotel on the Booking.com app nor the Protea website. A Zambian colleague had to phone to get me the email address. This was my third business visit to the hotel but the experience has not improved over time.
Thank you for your information!
