Radisson Blu Hotel Lusaka

Perfect location

I liked the pool but didn’t use it because it was cold due to winter. The food was also really good! Breakfast was great with omelette chef and room service was also good. Overall the stay was nice and comfortable.

The staff were a bit disorganised. The guy who checked us in told us we had breakfast included and when I went to the breakfast they told me it was not included so make sure you screenshot any of your bookings beforehand. The pool staff told me I couldn’t put a drink on my room without setting a table there first. He kept chasing me up just for a Coke Zero when he could have just added it to my room number. These small things that took it from a 5 star experience to a 3 star.

It’s near local shops.

The rooms need refurbishment,

The Radisson is centrally located and has a warm and inviting atmosphere with tentative staff and great facilities. My check in process was flawless, the room allocated was spacious and modern. Onlooking the pool with complimentary drinks which was all fantastic.

Unfortunately after returning home i was full or red bumps in clusters consistent with bed bugs/mites. I traveled with 2 colleagues who had the same and stayed in different areas of the hotel. They need to treat their mattresses on an ongoing basis because they clearly have an issue. Sadly i wont return after this experience which is sad because everything else was really good
