Cool industrial looking hotel near a large shopping mall. Convenient and spacious. Rooms are comfortable but bathrooms are a bit crammed in the standard room class. Good food menu offered and nice cocktail list. This is a business hotel with a cool vibe. The mall is big and fancy with coffee shops, restaurants, supermarket and many shops.

Great location. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Two minute walk to a big mall that has a descent size grocery store, ATM, restaurants and regular shopping. The mall is very clean and felt safe. Breakfast at hotel is a little pricey but if you are limited with time, it’s a good option.

The “double” rooms are SMALL, positively minuscule. I knew the hotel was built with containers and the small room indeed felt like a container. The shower was claustrophobic and had that container feel. I needed to stay an extra day and the double rooms were not available so I had to upgrade to an executive room. The executive room was expansive, well lit and actually large enough for two people. This is what I expected from a hotel made out of containers. It felt modern, chic and very inviting. I could actually live in the executive room and be more than OK. That said, the cost of the executive room was too much for Lusaka given that a room at Ciêla would only be $20 more. Staff were amazing, especially at the restaurant and bar. Porters as well. Excellent customer service. Location is perfect. East Park mall is less than a 6 minute walk away. Lots of great restaurants and shops.

Had to stay at last minute as double booked elsewhere. Had seen hotel before from outside and thought worth a try. Staff pleasant. For a new hotel our room was a disappointment. Very small. Smelled musty and damp...suspect the shower enclosure has been leaking chronically. Tiny bathroom with a loose toilet. Door sticking and not sliding. "Floating floor" likely related to leak in bathroom. Usual some maintainance needed. Food good and reasonable for dinner. $25 however is outrageous for breakfast for one. Unlikely to go back.

What is advertised here as a standard suite, really is an executive room, which is how the hotel refers to it. The room was spacious but a little noisy and the Aircon dripped water into the wardrobe. The hotel itself looks cool and modern. Food is very good.
