MaggieYoung couple - 6.5Scored 6.5PleasantRated pleasant· 365 reviewsThis is one of the few cheap hostels (or backpackers lodge as it's known in Zambia) that cater for regional and international travelers. It's fun generally. The staff are great, very helpful, fun and friendly. The food and beer is cheap. The setting is good. Location; 10 min walk from the main bus station or to Cairo Street. 5 min by taxi to the main night life area. I stayed again when I came back to Lusaka. They even gave me a discount for the private room and it became my home away from home.WartkesSolo traveller

Tony ;-)Solo traveller - 6.0Scored 6.0PleasantRated pleasant· 112 reviewsThis backpacker hostel embodies the quintessential African experience, situated in close proximity to several conveniences such as "Levy Mall" and the Lusaka City Fire Station.

- 6.5Scored 6.5PleasantRated pleasant· 365 reviewsThe location was pretty nice. It was a safe neighborhood and easy to walk into Rhodes Park and Town, close to the bus park too. The WiFi worked well in the Bar area. The price was cheap, but should have been discounted further given the ongoing renovation work I feel.
StevenGroup - Avg. price/night: £21.626.7Scored 6.7PleasantRated pleasant· 69 reviewsThe staff is responsive. The room was large but dark. The bathroom was very small, but there was hot water. The hotel is located midway between the airport and the center. To use a cheap taxi, you need to use the Yango application - you can ask the hotel for advice on this. A good option for budget travelers. The hotel has a nice outdoor area with green plants and roses. A pleasant place to relax.DaceYoung couple

- Avg. price/night: £35.678.2Scored 8.2Very goodRated very good· 493 reviewsA good hostel in a great location, the staff were friendly and helpful. The beds in their dorms are comfortable and there are plenty of comfy sofas everywhere. There is a small kitchen, a swimming pool and a restaurant on-site. The chirping birds and a beautiful garden makes the place look like a small paradise in the heart of Lusaka. It's ideal for solo travellers and digital nomads who travels on a low budget. I will definitely lodge there again.
