Hotel Dengan Gym di Lusaka Province, Zambia

I usually have a good time at the resort and stayed a couple of times. This time from the start, there were a few things: I had asked reception because we were going early, to have the breakfast boxes for the kids early to take at 5:30. When we got to the restaurant in the evening it took a while to be served. When we got the kids in the shower, there were no towels and when we phoned it took a while. We also phoned to ask for normal milk as my child can’t have creomora and they said they would bring but never did. Then our taxi driver let us down so I called reception to book an airport shuttle in the morning and she said she would call back but never did. Eventually after I called back, they got back to me with results. Didn’t tell me the price though. When we checked out at 5:30, they didn’t have the breakfast boxes. And told us our taxi was K400 per head! So all in all, wasn’t a great one.

🌿The cleaner’s ingenuity and dexterity help clean up the dirt of life bit by bit, allowing the sunlight to shine through the window and fill the entire room. Hygiene is not just a superficial effort, but also a life attitude and cultivation. (๑˃̵ᴗ˂̵)و✧*｡

I enjoyed everything at this hotel. The room was sizeable for a solo traveler. The bedding was just amazing...! I slept very very well. I am curious about their mattress brand, I want to buy it....! The breakfast spread was great. Healthy salads and changing buffet spreads everyday. I did not manage to use the fitness center and swimming pool on the Intercontinental side, but it was nice to have the option. The front office accomodated my very early checkout - 5am, and even organized with the kitchen for a breakfast baggie. There is taxi service to the airport but I did not use it.

Didn’t realise before booking that this is a Chinese-operated hotel aimed I would imagine at hosting the local Chinese workforce. All TV channels were in Chinese, breakfast was Chinese food, coffee machine instructions were in Chinese. However, the staff were all Zambian and extremely helpful. Supposed to be a no-smoking hotel but it smelled strongly of cigarettes in our corridor. Bathroom kept smelling like a ‘wet dog’. No facilities in the hotel but luckily a great bar and restaurant next door.

The room was a bit small but surprisingly comfortable. Just a heads-up: remember to bring your own toiletries. The hotel also has water dispensers in the hallways, so you can easily refill your bottles. A major highlight was the hotel breakfast – it was absolutely delicious and offered a fantastic variety.

The Taj as usual didn't disappoint. It's a great venue with all the facilities that you could want. Great value when compared to other venues that don't have the range of facilities and service that you get there. Definitely top of the list when in Lusaka!

Great pool with friendly staff. The food was very good and reasonably priced. Internet was patchy.

Facilities: The room is large and has a terrace. Health: Medium level Environment: There is an Italian restaurant downstairs Service: Check-in is slow

The reception was amazing and I loved the food. However I feel the hotel should invest more in their recreational facilities for example the hotel does not have a spa.The room itself was nice and the bathroom clean though not spacious as I expected.The dining area is very clean as well and I loved it.

Facilities: Airport hotel, the room is small, like a dormitory. It is a place to sleep. No slippers, no toothpaste toothbrush. The bed is small. The air conditioner is not hot. Breakfast is very small. Hygiene: There are bugs. Environment: There is nothing outside, it is close to the airport, and you can walk to the airport. Service: When you sit down and order food, suddenly trip. Ask the waiter for a box of matches and charge 50 grams of watcha.
