6/10 Good

First the good; hot water and excellent water pressure. The ablutions are iffy- no toilet seat, etc, but they do keep them clean. Big room, clean sheets. Excellent location. The place is really old and falling apart. Staff are indifferent. I'd say nearby Lusaka Backpackers is a better deal. Note: Google maps has right location, but wrong route to get there. Take Makanta road to get to hostel.
