I only stayed a night due to a delayed flight. From what I saw, it was nice
Verified review

8/10 Very good

Very nice clean room, staff were nice. Great location, shopping malls in walkable distance, easy access to downtown. Place consists of several buildings some of which dont have hot water so you may need to go to another building if seeking a hot shower. Great restaurant onsite and self catering kitchen available

8/10 Very good

Property consists of several buildings, some newer than others. While my room was a little dated it was spotless, facilities were clean, some buildings had no hot water in the showers. Staff are super friendly and helpful. Gteat location near major shopping malls and easy acees to downtown. Great restaurant on site. It was great that they allowed me early check in at no extra charge. Great value for money

Very Good

The place is clean and far better than your average backpacker accommodation. The location was perfect for me, as I needed to be near the International Conference Centre. It is in quiet and easily accessible location. The only downside was that there was no hot water in my en-suite room during my two-day stay. I was informed it would be fixed, but unfortunately, it wasn't resolved before I checked out. I had to use a general shower next to my room. However, they did compensate me with a late checkout, which I appreciated. Overall, it’s a great place with excellent value for money, and I would definitely stay here again.

Fabulous place to stay. Comfortable rooms, hot showers! Staff is tops, always ready to help and on top of it. Great food. Super comfortable common area with plenty of seating to hang out. Beautiful environs with gardens. Wifi good in common area (doesn't reach all rooms). Very secure. Walkable to East Park and Arcades shopping malls.

Probably the Best Backpacker in Africa

This is probably the best Backpacker in Africa. Very clean rooms and kitchen. Bedding was changed daily and smelled fresh. Mosquito nets provided. Full tasty English breakfast included. Airport pickup for 25USD by the friendly Paul. Anita the owner and her staff goes out of their way to make sure you are comfortable. I checked in just after midnight and they were waiting for me to arrive. They also prepare supper if you are interested - nshima and stew with traditional vegetables was the best dish I had during my travels (try it). Very big portions served I failed to finish it every night. If I ever fing myself in Lusaka again this is where I will be staying. Thank you very much Anita.

Thank you for a delightful experience! The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful, even going out of their way to make sure I was accommodated when a flight was canceled. The atmosphere is friendly and relaxed, with plenty of opportunities to meet fellow travelers. I would definitely stay here again.

Short stay in Lusaka

We only stayed here for one night, but the property was spacious and well-decorated. The hostel is also well-located close to Arcades and Manda Hill shopping centers. The only issue was that the water pressure was a bit low when we were there, and the bathroom could have been cleaner.
