A nice place to stay in Lusaka.

Very nice food . we were picked from the airport even though we had not booked for airport transfer. The lady in charge of airport transfer (who was at the airport that time) is awesome. She welcomed us and made us feel very nice. The driver is super as he gave us an introduction about our Journey to the Hotel and he gave us some water. You have super staff . Bravo,,,

Everything was as it usually except of the service at the pool and restaurant which was non existent. very frustrating and almost impossible to order and get the bill when finished, not good enough enough for a business class hotel

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.

Poor experience despite good hotel condition

Unfortunately, I've had a pretty poor experience at Intercontinental Lusaka, despite the fact that the facilities and service is nice. 1 negative remark: I was there for business for 1 day, and upon arrival, it took almost 1 hour for the desk clerk to check me in which ended up making me late for my meetings. 1 TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE remark: we booked a taxi with the front desk for the next morning as the shuttle timings (5:30 then 9:30AM) were not in line with our flight schedule. In the morning, the taxi the hotel booked for us was waiting. As we drove off , my colleagues and I realized that the driver was COMPLETELY DRUNK !!!!! We got so close to getting into accidents all the way to the airport, to the point that I even had to stir the wheel to avoid a car coming the other way!!!! I was never so scared in my entire life. The fact that the driver was drunk isn't Intercontinental's fault, but they should have NEVER EVER booked this taxi for us, and should have called another one !! Advice for future guests: check the taxi driver's ability to drive before leaving...

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.

4/10 Fair

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.
