Protea Hotel by Marriott Lusaka International Airport

very basic only advantage is proximity to airport and clean rooms will go here if i have a late night arrival flight else city hotels are 300% better at this price with airport pickup and drop provided

food options - more than about half of the items on the menu are not available

This is excellent location. Just under 10 min talk away from Lusaka Airport. Easy walk - and you can take airport cart here. Room was clean and comfortable. Restaurant was great. Dinner Buffet started at 1830, but really kind of start around 1900. Breakfast choices were great.

I did not know there was a shuttle bus from airport. Wish I knew that... Price was a bit high, but for convince, it was okay. Instead of staying downtown Lusaka, it save my time to catch sleep.

Shuttle service to airport and very helpful staff.

The room was good and clean. All basic amenities were there, including a coffee bar. Staff was polite.

One of the bathroom pot lights was burnt out, so much that the bathroom was dark. No matter what one does, one ends up with a wet bathroom floor with the half glass shower door. The chain-lock on the door was broken and I wondered if security would be an issue, sleeping with a broken lock, given that this was the first time staying at the hotel. All was well on security. I called for Room Service. I was told someone would bring the Menu. I waited for at least an hour, and called them to not bring the menu. I figured if the menu took that long to deliver, the food would take much longer and I wanted to have an early night to catch my flight early the next morning. Nonetheless, somebody knocked on my door about 3 minutes after I called, apologized for the slow delivery of the menu and tried to convince me to order. I explained to the gentleman why I would not make the order. Staff was polite but efficient service is critical.
