Longacres Lodge — Hotel in Lusaka Province

This place is cheaper than those places backpackers usually go to, considering the privacy and the space you can get for the same price. We stayed in a room with double size bed with its own toilet and bath. There's television (with cable channels) and a study desk as well. Location is good, there is a nearby restaurant which sells local food, atm machine (Barclay) and near to the bus stop.

The service was decent, though not all the staff were friendly, professional or helpful. Best part about the lodge for me is it's location as you have lots of amenities only a walkable distance away, even food vendors that...

I stayed here periodically while conducting research in Zambia. It is primarily frequented by Local business travelers. The rooms were comfortable and clean, and some were quite spacious, though the quality varied greatly. If you stay here, be sure the hot water and shower heads are working, as I regularly had problems with those. Otherwise, this place met my needs, and I greatly appreciated the friendliness of the staff. The breakfast is basic, but you have the option to pay more have have eggs. You can also request a room with a fridge if the hotel is not too busy. The rates are affordable, and there is a small market and restaurant...
