This has been the 10th/ 3rd time we're staying in the Southern Sun Ridgeway and it has become a home to us during regular and long visits to Lusaka. The personal touch created by the staff completes it. This to us, is the most precious chacteristic this hotel has and the other hotels in Lusaka lack. True, the hotel needed... more

Stayed here for one week - service was spot on from arrival to restaurant and bar. Rooms are very comfortable and the whole hotel is in tip top condition and very clean. Free internet access is a bonus. Food is great - breakfast, lunch and dinner buffet/grill and a snack menu on terrace and pub. Pond in the central courtyard... more

I used the same hotel more than a year ago when it was part of the Holiday Inn chain. Since then it has shown signs of improvement and further renovation work is still on-going. The hotel is a good option for a business trip in Lusaka as it offers good quality accommodation, bar and restaurant services at a good rate,... more

The hotel is now revamped and exceeds a holiday inn past .. hotels inb Zambia are expensive ... at $250 this one is cheaper than Taj and Inter-continental (after taxes) .. yet it provides everything that the others do ... good food, friendly service .. they do try .... the "free internet" advertised is actually only for two hours, and... more

The staff were very friendly and helpful, the rooms (or at least my room) were clean, a good pool, free wireless internet, a... more

Stayed at the Holiday Inn for three weeks in October 2006. Get real people - this is what you can expect from any hotel in Lusaka. The staff try their very best - we westerners must learn patience. It is simply the way of Zambia. Just take a little time to explain clearly what you require. Do not raise your... more

Ok, if you are expecting a typical Holiday Inn, which really aren't that great anyway in the US, this one is worse! I arrived on a Monday night at Lusaka Airport where a hotel representative met me for the 35km transfer. After waiting about 20 minutes we finally departed for the hotel in a hotel van that did not have... more

This hotel is a comfortable place to stay, within walking distance, or a short taxi trip, to Lusaka's down town, embassies, government offices, and immediately across the road from Lusaka's Anglican Cathedral. Location! Location! Location! The manager is a hands-on kind of person, who goes out of his way to make sure guests feel comfortable. He's also deeply involved on... more
