The Protea Cairo Road in Lusaka is right in the middle of town. Lusaka is a smal city of just about a million or so people and therefore doesn't get quite busy even in the CBD. Pickup at the airport at 3am was prompt and swift to the hotel with an equally warm reception. The hotel lobby is rather small... More

I only have two suggestions for your hotel. The Wifi was very unreliable, both in the rooms and in the lobby. That really needs to be improved if you are to attract more business guests. I would not come back to your hotel, for that reason alone. Also, a la carte menu for dinner and room service would be nice.

My wife and I spent two nights at the Protea Hotel in Lusaka and really enjoyed it. The hotel is well presented and offered good value for money. The breakfasts were good, but we ate dinner out as there are plenty of good restaurants nearby. I would recommend the hotel but would like to shop around next time I visit... More

Protea Hotel Cairo Road is leaving to the expectation of the group's chain hotels, However what is unique about Protea Cairo Road Lusaka is that it is along a very busy Road in the heart of Zambia's Capital, Lusaka. The services of the hotel include very good restaurant's, FREE INTERNET ACCESS, Nice Bar and above all very good staff that... More

We stayed here for one night before heading out to Livingstone and found the hotel in need of a little love. It was not in a great location but if you need to be close to the bus station then this is not too far. The rooms also seemed very dated. The staff were very helpful but not sure this... More

Soulless, acceptable hotel in the heart of downtown. Just be warned that there really isn't much in the downtown area anymore so you'll probably need a taxi to get anywhere. Might as well stay at the Protea in Arcades shopping centre as there are at least a few restaurants/bars and a cinema there.
