Trade-offs and what to know
An older building. The most recent traveller accounts describe it as needing refurbishment.
No published room grades and no operator website, so the record rests on supplier listings.
Much of the available material is dated, so confirm what is currently running.
Getting there and getting around
Kitwe lies on the T3 about 60 km north-west of Ndola and roughly 360 km north of Lusaka. Obote Avenue is central, so the banks and shops are walkable. Ndola’s airport is about an hour by road and the hotel arranges transfers.

Before you book
Ask what has been refurbished recently and which floor you are on. Confirm the pool and hot tub are in service. And arrange the Ndola transfer in advance.
