Lovely renovated hotel. Very luxurious rooms. Friendly and helpful staff. Unfortunately the gym was still under renovation. The bar/cafe is worth a visit. Breakfast is nice (but mornings are cold, so bring a sweater because it’s outside!).

The property is aging. There was no air conditioning in any of the lobby or downstairs area of the hotel. The entire hotel could use some paint and sprucing up. It is no longer among the elite Lusaka hotels and therefore, overpriced. We will be using the Taj Pamodzi for Lusaka trips.

I didn’t like anything at intercontinental hotel I was so disappointed. The corridor smells bad, the carpet is dirty you can see it. The bathtub was very dirty you can see it wasn’t cleaned properly, the white bath mat had black stains. I had to wear my flip flops to have a shower. Breakfast meals where terrible and the gym equipments needs replacement, treadmills belts are worn out they need change. Intercontinental hotel is just brand not quality. It’s expensive from nothing just brand. Don’t book there, don’t book for brand book for quality.

Central location
Hotel needs a face lift because most things are out dated inside. The staff is ok but could use more training in terms of being attentive to guests. Going up to the room, immediately you enter you are greeted by a foul smell which I later concluded that was from the fact that shower extractor fans don't work. Shower heads were throwing water in all directions and for a tall person like myself it was a nightmare. I honestly feel like bathrooms should be redone with new fans. I suggest doing walk in showers and removing old tubs. On one of the nights I stayed there we got notice that water was getting shut off in the middle of the night for maintenance. The place has potential to be the most amazing anyone would love to stay but lack proper managent and people with new age vision.

A Great Stay - A Last Minute Boo Boo
A few minutes to my check out, I noticed something: my Beats headphones were missing. I thought I had just seen them; thought I had used them while I was at the hotel. And then, they were missing. The Manager came to help me look for them, nothing. They were gone. And that, unfortunately, ruined a really good stay at the Intercontinental. The staff were just lovely; the food - nshima and beef - were delicious; sumptuous even. I enjoyed the nights; the bed was comfortable and the room was cozy. No complaints there. The hotel was also close to the office, so that helped me beat the Lusaka traffic. In the meantime, I am waiting to hear from the hotel and how they intend to review my headphone situation.
