The pictures were way different - This is definitely one hotel needs maintenance. I rate it as 2 stars instead of 4. We waited 2 hrs to check in due to rooms were not ready.. For the breakfast it was always the same no good selection and always 1 hr late to start. WiFi not good at all. The bathroom smells sewage. A/C are not reliable as well.

Der Pool (3,5 m tief) und Garten ist super. Nette kompetente Bademeister. Allerdings wurden keine Handtücher zur Verfügung gestellt. Das Personal ansonsten etwas schwerfällig und unorganidiert. Sie brauchen mehr Supervision. Wir mussten 4 Stunden warten, bis unser Zimmer fertig gereinigt wurde.

Great improvement

I was here earlier this year and I was not very happy with the place. However on my recent visit things have greatly improved. Much cleaner than before with very friendly staff. The cuisine at the restaurant is excellent. I would like management to work to prevent mosquitoes into the rooms.

The place was very bad, actually rubbish , especially when you compare to the looks on the website. It’s not a hotel , it’s a guest house. Breakfast was cold and not much to choose from the menu. Moreover, they stole my daughter’s iPods. Really disappointed with that place . Never again!!!

The jacuzzi was filthy, the bathroom tiles in my room were discolored from dirt and there were flies buzzing around in the dining area which is completely unsanitary. The toast with my breakfast was served cold and the food served for dinner was subpar. All in all I would not recommend this hotel to anyone.

So deceptive

I did an upgrade to the deluxe because of the beautiful Jacuzzi and was quoted a price after i paid i was called and told i haveto make another payment because they made a mistake and also found out later that none of the Jacuzzi at the hotel works i was so upset and embarrassed for my fiance and all he want to do was take $12 off the overall price of our stay even though the director knows the Jacuzzi doesn't work for years

Secure, clean & friendly but some work needed

Secure, peaceful and clean hotel, which was well located for the work meetings I needed to have in the government sector of Lusaka. Staff were friendly and helpful, but clearly the hotel has seen better days and would benefit from a little renovation and a wider restaurant menu. The hotel airport pick-up was on time and appreciated.

Overall no hotel training of staff whatsoever. Staff totally overwhelmed by a fully occupied hotel. Sorry but not recommendable at all, despite wonderful garden. It has HUGE potential though. Good luck to owner and management. Hope you can improve. Seize your location!

Minimally acceptable

If traveling on business, would not recommend- not conducive to work, and no working wifi in the room. Breakfast was not good. Upside: there are bed nets for the beds, which most of the higher end hotels in the city don't have, rooms are spacious, and the dinner there was quite delicious.

Not Again

On arrival, reception could not find my payments and no room was allocated . I had to take a cold shower on day one – was not briefed on geyser isolator being the customers responsibility. Reception TV was played excessively loud until late at night. Hotel did maintenance or hammering or something till after 23:00.

Friendly staff - but hallway causes bad first impr

I spent two nights at Chrismar, with a few days in between, in May 2014. The first impression was not very good - after leaving the reception we walked through a dark corridor With worn-out carpets and dirty smell, and a door hardly on its hinges. The room, though, was all right. The staff were friendly and service-minded. I had very good help with my airport transport service at departure, when I needed to be picked-up at another address and was allowed to leave my baggage at the reception. The receptionist as well as the hotel driver were very helpful and correct. As I had to cancel one of my booked and pre-paid Nights I've had some discussion With the hotel about a refund, but this has now been solved in a satisfactory way. I don't recommend Chrismar for Chrismar for People who plan to stay for several days, due to the lack of maintenance in the hallway. But I'm returning myself for a couple of single-nights stay - as the staff outweighs the poor first impression of the hallway.

Disappointing

The hotel was under renovation with construction in the lobby. Hotels.com did not mention this; neither did the hotel website. There was no water in the shower or mosquito nets on beds- very weak a/c. Internet was available only within a short distance of front desk. Paid for 3 nights; had to leave after one.

Not a choice to make

This is not a hotel to choose for this section of Lusaka (government office/NGO section), as there are other more functional hotels of similar price in the general area. I arrived after a late flight from Nairobi only to find that the night clerk was mystified by a hotels.com voucher and confirmation number, so I had to pay at the desk (luckily the card reader read my Visa, not always a given in Zambia) and then settle up the following morning with the manager. The bellhop then took me to a room with a leaking toilet that I only discovered after he left. So, 25 min after arriving, I finally had a room. The hotel allows only 1 hr of free internet per day, and the bed had bedbugs. The bar was extremely noisy until 2am, and renovation crews woke me up at 5am. Finally, the beds stank of cigarette smoke and had a couple of bedbugs visit during the night. I have stayed in nearly 100 hotels of a variety of price ranges, and this was easily the worst experience.

Exceptional Staff!

Stayed for a week. Staff are very friendly, always attentive and very well trained. Complimentary, in-room wi-fi was limited to 1 hour a day. Additional hours were available for purchase and free wi-fi is always available in lobby. Hotel needs quite a bit of upkeep to it. Tiles missing, loose fixtures, carpet updating. Value through hotels.com was decent. Thanks to the attention of the staff I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

Vielleicht ein anderes Mal?

Der Wasserhahn hing lose im Waschbecken, das Wasser in der Dusche lief nicht ab, die Bettwäsche war grau und fleckig. Im Erdgeschoß wurde renoviert, was dieses Hotel unbedingt sehr nötig hat. Es gab nur englisches Frühstück, kein Käse, kein Aufschnitt, keine frische Tomaten und nur ein wenig sehr dünn geschnittene Ananas, sowie Pulverkaffee. Es schien alles für die Übernachtungsgäste abgezählt zu sein.

Ruime kamer in vieze stad Lusaka

Ruime kamers, rustige omgeving. Bestel geen eten in het hotel maar ga voor de helft van de prijs eten bij het restaurant bij het zwembad. Het eten is best oké. Personeel is net als overal in Zambia: lui. Transfer naar vliegveld duurt 30min en kost 30 US.
