The service was excellent. The cold water was off when I woke up because of a problem they were fixing. They fixed it and made sure everything was okay.

Every member of staff I met was friendly, helpful and efficient. A real credit to the hotel. Sadly I will not stay here again owing to the room. There were mosquitoes in the room meaning I had an incredibly uncomfortable night with little sleep. Presumably they knew about the problem and that’s what the can of doom next to the bed was for! The aircon was barely detectable and of the supposed range of channels on my one kids program and the news were working properly. You do not expect to encounter these kinds of problems in a Marriott hotel and at the price charged

Quiet hotel, good breakfast with very good service-minded staff, the room was fine and was kept clean, good quality towels and bed linen. Meetings with colleague in the lobby at several of the floors with the possibility of having coffee/tea brought from the restaurant. The Protea Hotel next door had a great top-roof restaurant.

Rooms were modern and spacious, Wi-Fi was good throughout the day and the breakfast buffet was excellent with ample variety. All staff I encountered were very attentive, polite, kind and went out of their way to ensure guests had an excellent experience. The hotel is currently undergoing renovations with construction happening during day time hours. This did not adversely affect the week I spent at the hotel. Once the renovations are complete, I anticipate the hotel will be even better.

This was our second stay. The staff is superb. Friendly. Personal attention. Showered us with romantic rose petals, candy, and wine for our wedding! Wonderful service at the breakfast buffet. Very clean rooms with plenty of parking water!
Only complaints: room service is a little slow and the Internet isn’t very good.

The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The breakfast that was included with the room was delicious and they had a variety of options. The hotel is walking distance from East Park Mall where you can find grocery stores and restaurants & bars. There is even an airport shuttle available at the hotel, and another reasonably priced airport shuttle at East Park Mall.
4.0
Kind and friendly staff. Room immaculately clean and convenient location. When you look closely some things look a little tired and for a generic hotel I think it’s a little overpriced. I didn’t like the fact that for the in-room tea and coffee making facilities there was a plastic straw instead of a spoon! Overall nice enough hotel with great staff so for the right price I would definitely use again

The Hotel, is so old. Its impossible to use the aircon as its idles at 300db so ypu have to chose between aircon or sleep and mosquitos. There is no water pressure, on my last trip when there was no water coming from the shower in my room I was advised to wash myself in the basin. And no internet, connection gets interrupted at least every minute so impossible to work. Staff was not willing to solve the internet. After 2 stays I will now only stay away from there.

I was charged USD 115 for a late checkout upto 6pm. View of few rooms facing road (on 1&2 floors) are covered by trees.
All staff are very nice & cooperative. Rooms are spacious & very clean & comfortable.
My special thanks to the hotel & chef for arranging Indian vegetarian breakfast on my request.
I would stay here again & recommend.

Staff always willing to help, nothing too much and very attentive. We would definitely return. Always welcoming, rooms very clean. Situated in walking distance to shopping mall and restaurants. All in all a very enjoyable stay, would definitely recommend it.

Moved to that hotel after getting so frustrated by the poor condition of the Protea Cairo Road in the centre. This was much better, but it is nothing special. A good business hotel, that's all.
Breakfast was not great, but there was a lot of choice. Room was clean, but A/C very noisy (and I checked the A/C filters that were really dirty)
Close to Arcades shopping centre, so easy to find decent dinner options nearby (or take a taxi to horseshoe steakhouse nearby)
4.0
We (a family of 4) stayed here twice, both times with good service (although quite a lot of the menu wasn't available), helpful and friendly staff. Conveniently located for shopping, airport etc. Perhaps a bit expensive, but very nice, spacious family room with plenty of space for 4 people. We will be using Protea again!
3.0
We arrived after 11pm due to flight delays and were told that they had no room service. The room was ok but very noisy being near a nightclub? With less than 5 hours sleep we went down to breakfast which was fine and our transfer to the airport was on time.In general the hotel was ok however the rooms and common areas are fairly drab and in need of a bit of colour and light The staff were helpful and friendly at all times.We have stayed at a hotel 300m away in the last 2 months and it was cheaper and far more well appointed, if we had to choose it would not be the Arcades Protea.
5.0
I stayed for 1 night after as I was flying out the next morning - great place to stay as it is close to the airport. Probably the nicest hotel close to the airport. The staff were very friendly, the room clean & comfortable. Easy way to end a great trip to Zambia!
