Exceptional accommodations
Thank you for a delightful experience! The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful, even going out of their way to make sure I was accommodated when a flight was canceled. The atmosphere is friendly and relaxed, with plenty of opportunities to meet fellow travelers. I would definitely stay here again.

Short stay in Lusaka
We only stayed here for one night, but the property was spacious and well-decorated. The hostel is also well-located close to Arcades and Manda Hill shopping centers. The only issue was that the water pressure was a bit low when we were there, and the bathroom could have been cleaner.

Average accomodation near east park mall
It was close to East Park but was highly priced for a small room with a shared bathroom. Similar room near Levy Mall for 25-50% cheaper price. Outside is being renovated and smelled like fertilizer. Also neighbor has barking dog. Breakfast was eggs with toast. Host was nice.

A home away from home
This was quite a nice surprise in a busy African city. The staff made us feel very welcome and we're happy to accommodate any requests we had. The property is tucked away in a residential part of the city away from the usual hustle and bustle but within walking distance of some major shops. Would highly recommend this place and will definitely be staying there again when in Lusaka Also George the dog is a little charmer with lots of love to give. Give him a cuddle and you'll have another friend for the duration of your stay.

Great stay, especially for the price!
We needed an affordable place to stay and had never stayed at a backpackers hotel so we were a bit weary of what to expect but we were completely blown away! Our room was clean and exactly what we needed. There were two bathrooms so we never had to wait to shower or anything. The kitchen has everything you need, we even stayed in and cooked one night. The best part was all the great people we met. You really can't beat the price! Highly recommend if you are on a budget.
