Lusaka Heritage Hotel - Thabo Mbeki Road — Hotel in Lusaka Province

After reading the two previous reviews, I had rather high expections from this hotel. I was, however, somewhat disappointed. So to start with the negative points: the hotel is rather quiet, as long as your neighbours are asleep: as soon as they start to talk you can literary follow their conversation. The hotel policy doesn't allow alcoholic drinks: even taking a beer in your room is not allowed (!). The owners really try to do everything on the cheap: plastic table cloths (sticky!), a gym without air conditioning (while temperatures in Lusaka can go up to 30-35C), no water dispenser in the gym (almost a criminal act). On the positive side, I must mention the personal in the restaurant, who went out of their way to service us (if somewhat inefficiently), and the other personal (cleaning ladies, guards) who were all very friendly. I also asked twice for a small repair to be made to my room: this hadn't been done yet when we left after three nights (it would take 2 mins for a handyman with the right tools: if i had carried these I would have done it myself :). Another plus is the free wireless, even though it...

Located in the Capital at Lusaka . Its at best a 3 star property but as expensive as a 5 Star . I understand this is the norm in Zambia. The rooms are large , opens onto the courtyard . View is good with green all around but then Lusaka is a green city . ||||The hotel staff are friendly , the hotel has at most 25-30 rooms. The restaurant is on first floor and access is through the lobby via a circular staircase- most inconvenient . Though the hotel has all the amenities the quality of construction is poor . The location of hotel is not good , there is nothing on either side of the hotel. If you do not have a transport you cannot move out and there is only "wilderness" on both sides of the hotel. Lusaka is like an overgrown village but lovely . I stayed there for a week but since I was without transport I was "stuck" at the hotel and immobile. I had to make do with the hotel food , which was not quite to my liking . Breakfast is a buffet but with limited options . They did not even have butter on breakfast table - they tried to pass of a Vegetable Oil concoction (Brand name of...

My business partner and I stayed at this establishment on the night of the10th July 2012. Our experience was not pleasant. To begin with my door of my room would not lock and just opened from the outside with a gentle push. My room was full of mosquitoes which is unusual in the African Winter. The water pressure in the room was pathetic and to run a bath would probably take an hour. The following morning one of our business partners joined us for Breakfast. He ordered tw fired eggs and some Macon (Pork Products not served). The cost US$17.00. When confronted the manager was totally indignant and said that her prices were competitive with hotels in London and New York. The staff on the other hand were friendly professional and clearly terrified of their employer. I will not stay here again, for $150.00 per night I am sure there are other better...
