    There was noise up to 1am in the morning. The shower rooms are not the best. Some taps were broken too.

    Food was good. The night shift guy at the reception was excellent (sorry can’t remember his name)

    The breakfast was good. The wine per glass at K60 per half glass was a bit overpriced

    The room was very clean but the shower needs repair. The mixer for hot and cold doesn't work. It gives very hot water only.

    Lots of mosquitoes in the room so I purchased anti-mosquito incense from market. That’s only thing, it’s not only room inside but everywhere

    Good location and access from airport. I didn’t order but they provide airport free shuttle. Some of the comments mentioned OLD yes it is, rather to say CLASSIC. Very warm hospitality and service by all staffs so I felt like home during stays.

    The Wi-Fi was unreliable for the first day connecting, then disconnecting at random, , but seemed to become more stable. The quality of the restaurant food for the supper meal I would only rate 6/10, possibly due to an over ambitious menu, but there are many good restaurants in Livingstone and dining in-house is optional.

    Possibly the best complement of hotel staff, without an exception, I have ever had at a hotel. Every encounter and request was met with efficiency, but most importantly with genuine warmth. While the hotel is older, and some may find decor dated, everything is perfectly maintained and was spotlessly clean. The breakfast buffet was very good.

    Family room was very good to spent our nights. It was one of the 1st oldest hotel in the Livingstone. Atleast we got to see the old type of decor and architectural design, in that way it was a museum. Transport to and from airport was free. Just need to inform the receptionist for assistance.

    Sure, the hotel is dated, as I mentioned. It's the oldest hotel in Zambia, but the staff and service make up for all of this.

    The hotel is right in the centre of town so close to everything. It is also Zambias oldest hotel! The staff are INCREDIBLE!!! All of them!! They went out of their way to accommodate all questions and requests and went above and beyond to make my stay an absolute joy. A special shout out to Alan and Esther at reception and Saliyah in the restaurant, and Francis on the activities desk. But really, all of them. The food is good, but the scrambled eggs for breakfast are the best I've had. I was sad to leave this warm and welcoming hotel.

    The evening meal service and the sound from the in house night club ..ear plugs are strongly recommended!

    Despite a bumpy start, the absolute commitment to customer service and hospitality from the Executive General Manager just won us over. It's the oldest hotel operating hotel in Livingstone and has a restaurant that serves all meals. The Breakfast service was par excellence and tue food was varied, hot and delicious! The evening staff tries to keep up but have some way to go. A noteworthy call out to Allan who did his best to rectify the niggles we faced during our stay and is an asset to the hotel. But once again the sheer investment in guest care shown by the EGM Subhashini is a gold standard for hospitality. She made our stay comfortable and memorable.

    Service is so great. This is the best servive I had in my travel time. I really want to metion the name : Allan kruger. I think he represents the image of Livingstone City. Because of the various useful information and thoughtful services from him, I had better impression of this city
