    Brekfast closed at 10am. That was abit early given it seemed busy with many guests.

    The breakfast was good. Very filling and freshly made. There was enough sitting area to accommodate a large gathering.

    Not enough sockets for Zambian style plug ins in the room. The sockets were mainly SA style.

    Very friendly and helpful staff. Nice room and a very good breakfast. The house was very clean.

    Lovely hotel. Helpful staff. Beautiful rooms. Great pool area. Had a lovely buffet dinner in the restaurant. We had to leave before breakfast the next morning, so they packed us a generous breakfast box for the road. We were there on a Sunday so the roads were quiet. They have a big backup generator, so we didn't notice the power cut. Would definitely stay again.

    Cons: The hotel's Wi-Fi connection can be a bit slow and unreliable at times. The rooms could benefit from a bit more soundproofing, as some noise from the hallway and surrounding rooms can be heard. The hotel's gym and fitness facilities are a bit limited, with only a few machines and no free weights.

    I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Southern Sun Ridgeway Lusaka, and I must say that it exceeded my expectations in every way. From the moment I arrived, I felt a sense of warm hospitality and exceptional service. What truly made my stay special, however, was the thoughtful and personal touch from the hotel manager. Upon checking in, I was delighted to receive a personalized note from the manager at the reception desk, welcoming me to the hotel and making me feel like a valued guest. It was a lovely surprise and set a positive tone for my stay. The hotel itself is comfortable and well-appointed, with clean and spacious rooms, delicious food, and a lovely atmosphere. The staff were friendly and helpful, always eager to assist with any request or query. Overall, I would highly recommend the Southern Sun Ridgeway Lusaka to anyone looking for a comfortable and welcoming stay in Lusaka. The combination of excellent service, comfortable accommodation, and personal touches like the note from the hotel manager made my stay truly unforgettable. Thank you to the team at Southern Sun Ridgeway Lusaka for a wonderful experience - I look forward to returning in the future! Pros: The hotel has a great location, close to the city center and major attractions. The staff are friendly and welcoming, with a particular mention to the reception team who made me feel at home with a personalized note from the hotel manager. The rooms are clean, spacious, and well-appointed, with comfortable beds and modern amenities. The food at the hotel restaurant is delicious, with a good selection of local and international dishes. The hotel has a lovely atmosphere, with a nice pool area and outdoor seating.

    On the first day after check in they forgot to replenish the fridge ith the complimentary bottles of water, so we had to order from room service which charged us, the day after to make up for it they gave us 4 bottles, though.

    All the staff are amazing! kind, always available and useful. I would recommend to anyone! Flyness on reception and all the restaurant/bar staff were great!

    We ordered shuttle from the airport but they never came and we were looking them for an hour or so. However, we were offered a compensation so all good. I can really recommend this hotel, it's an excellent one!

    An excellent hotel with nice and clean rooms and friendly staff and peaceful location with walking distance from The Cathedral of the Holy Cross and National Museum. They have a lovely pond with baby crocodiles and Musuku restaurant with excellent vegetarian friendly food. They also served us an amazing breakfast, one of the best hotel breakfasts I have ever enjoyed, if not the best.

    Attitude and service of staff in the bar. Was kept waiting for 45 mins after being given menu, despite someone being at the bar chatting with other staff. When asked for help from waiter, they said they not responsible and would call someone and disappeared for 20 mins. When we were finally served, staff hang around the till talking loudly. It was not a good experience at all. Staff in the main dining area were more efficient and pleasant.
