Excellent experience overall
Julius
The staff were friendly and welcoming, which was a highlight of the stay. However, the beds were quite firm and not very comfortable for us. The hotel is located in a part of town that isn’t easily accessible, and the parking situation was different from what we expected, which made arrival a bit inconvenient.
Ruth
The room was comfortable with good water pressure in the shower, always a plus. The restaurant on site was convenient, the food avove average but not exceptional. The wait staff and door artendants were friendly and top notch. The hotel is surrounded by shops, and I especially appreciated it being close to Shoprite supermarket.

Dirty but nice staff
Staff were very friendly and breakfast was great. Lots of choices, however the bathroom was dirty. I stayed for 2 nights , I noticed some dirt in the toilet hoping it will be cleaned the next but alas it was still there after cleaning. The shower floor tiles are also very dirty.

Extremely friendly employees and going the extra mile. Parking in front of the building during daytime and locked garage at night. Good food, clean and comfortable rooms with windows that can open. No replacement for fresh air.

After a late arrival, the chef stayed on despite the kitchen being closed in order to prepare me a meal after my long drive, as did they waiver the ‘no room service’ option to cater for me. Very friendly and helpful staff all round. Secure parking. Highly recommend this property. Very convenient for those travelling by road as it’s on the main northern bound route.

The inside of the hotel is very quite and one can rest peacefully, no noise from the outside . The only concern is the car parking area which is very small and one has to walk through the crowds to get back to the hotel after parking your car it may not be comfortable for some guest

Memorable Stay!
My stay was great, but allowing vendors outside the hotel, including directly in front of the hotel door, is a bad idea and serves to lower the hotel's image and class.

Not quite as good as the Protea in Chipata.
I stayed at the Protea Hotel in Chipata which was much better for service, ambiance and overall comfort. It is suitable and has all you need for a 3 star hotel and downtown location. But it could be better, especially the service and food quality.
J.B.
Hotel is old.
Even when cleaned, it still looks dirty. Had to have the shower repaired twice & it still barely worked. Air conditioning was so loud, I had to change rooms. Very disappointing! Especially being a Marriott, which is why I booked here.
Murtaza

The room was nice
Larry
Clean, inexpensive hotel in town center
Hotels I where I usually stay in Lusaka were fully booked, so I tried Protea as it is not too far from my preferred location and I received a very favorable rate. The hotel itself is clean and well-serviced and the rooms are spacious. Cairo Road is not a great location and not a place to be walking around at night. Other than that there is no problem. The food is average but acceptable.

Nice Hotel, Great Location
Located in the centre of the CBD within walking distance to bank HQs. The hotel has adequate parking and well groomed staff. I would recommend it to anyone. The only down side is that, it is a bit cramped compared to the other Protea Hotel in Lusaka.

nice but ill located
Mini suite was nice and spacey, though noisy during the day.
hotel location in old part of town, not so atractive for tourists at night.

Hotel is Excellent, Location is Not
There are a lot of positives about this hotel. The staff member greeted us at the airport and made sure we got onto the hotel shuttle safely and gave us cold mineral water bottles. I had a friend who stayed at a DIFFERENT local hotel and the shuttle forgot her at the airport!!!
The staff helped us exchange local currency and ran across the street to the bank for us. The restaraunt downstairs serves an excellent complimentary breakfast every morning with made to order omellettes, fresh fruit, etc. We went there for dinner often and they had better Indian food than some of the Indian specialty restaraunts! Impressive. Housekeeping was responsive and did a great job keeping in clean.
The only downside to this hotel is the location. It is in the downtown area and you really can't walk around after dark. The area is very congested making travelling in the traffic a pain. The hotel contracts with some very reliable and friendly cab drivers if you do need to travel in the city...but I wouldnt really walk around downtown for fun.

The hotel feels like home, the staff like family. personally I need a matress and pillow to be not as hard but can't say another negative thing.
Alice
Quite Disappointed
Hotel accommodation was not up to standard. Cistern was not flushing properly while the shower spread water all over the floor. The room was not carpeted, and I had to look through dirty windows while listening to very noisy elevators! Generally, my experience at the hotel was not good.

Quality hotel in City Centre - Easy access
Fourth time to stay in this hotel. The location is convenient for anyone with business or shopping needs in the downtown business district, but also close and convenient for a short drive to Government offices. The staff has always been very friendly and helpful. The inclusive breakfast is nice and fresh, but moderately simple. Outside of having a small TV and sloppy finishing work (bathroom tiles, etc.), the rooms are nice and comfortable. The bedding is the best and guaranteed to provide a wonderful night's rest. I've stayed in the Inter-Continental and Taj Pamodzi hotels which are 2 1/2 times the price, but not really worth the cost difference unless you need the extra amenities.

Average
The hotel was ok but no pick up at the airport although I requested it, had to get a lift with another hotel provider. Staff were friendly and helpful and the rooms were fine although with no aircon. or fan, not a problem though as slept above sheets and was fine. Breakfast seemed reheated, came quickly and slightly over-cooked, the orange juice was off. The drop off at the airport unlike other hotels wasn't free but not surprised as other hotels seem to have higher star ratings. Overall OK.

Cairo to Capetown so says history
Used this hotel for overnight stay after arriving on bus from Livingstone, bit more expenisve than should have liked but could get a confirmed booking and pay before arrival. Location is close to bus station and got a reliable taxi even though my luggage was nearly taken be a driver to claim me! Booked in quickly but arriving at room found it was already occupied so had to change.
Good shower made me feel better and sorted out luggage more neatly. View of Lusaka through dirty window was not spectacular bt helped to orientate position . To save time ate in restaurant which was OK but not fast. Breakfast the next day was better.
Slept OK in spite of apparent riots outside. Hotel has guard on front so OK

Super Staff - Thank you
Excellent - Manager and all the staff extremely helpful. Food very good. My husband had his wallet taken in the street near the hotel and the hotel staff were brilliant - found the wallet (minus the cash) did all the necessary formalities even went to pick up the police report (we were leaving the next day) So a big thank you - Please do not be put off by our incident, Lusaka is a buzzing city with very many good people.

Good people
All hotel staff very helpful in all aspects, including assistance following the street theft of my wallet could not have asked for more help and consideration. If you ant to be in the heart of lusaka this is the hotel to stay in but it is not a standard tourist destination but it gives you a good feel of the local environment. We would stay there again.

Very helpful staff. Lovely bathroom and shower. Large comfortable room with immensely comfortable bed and pillows! Great location on a seemingly safe and busy street

Good value
Stayed for business for four nights, was overall quite pleased. The location is becoming less central as development of new shopping malls and new commercial buildings is taking place. On the other hand, the price was a lot less than better-situated hotels in this range.

Good central location in Lusaka
This hotel was centrally located in Lusaka & was all that we required. We stayed here 2 nights, 1 week apart, at the beginning & end of our time in Zambia. As we were guests a second time, we were given a better room, with more space on a higher floor. The room was comfortable & functional, though the bed was quite hard. Lusaka seems to be very quiet by 9pm at night, but comes alive earlyish in the morning -eg 5-6am. We didn't notice the traffic noise particularly & it was not a problem. The buffet breakfast was much appreciated -with good quality food & a variety. This hotel was not luxurious, but met our needs as travellers/tourists & was fine.
