“African backpacker hostel experience”
This backpacker hostel embodies the quintessential African experience, situated in close proximity to several conveniences such as "Levy Mall" and the Lusaka City Fire Station. Additionally, "Manda Hills" is just a pleasant 15-20 minute stroll away. The staff here is not only amicable but also exceptionally helpful.

“Good for passing by, you can't settle and to business with a sense of comfort.”
They should improve their standards, facilities and have the sense of value and appreciation of money. No geyser, still utilizing shared bathrooms and toilets, thats gross for a modern setup we need privacy.
