It was a terrible two days journey in this Hotel. It was recommended by friends who where here few years ago, when it used to be a great Hotel but I was so disappointed. Anything is working: lift stopped in each level before it can get you to the 7th floor, internet is every time down, the A/C is noisy... More

I was at the Savoy in mid June 2012, it's centrally located in Ndola which makes it very convenient to walk to most areas in the central business district. I found that I could get to most places in about 20 mins or less. The Hotel does show it age and its a shame that the owners have not chosen... More

The Savoy is situated in the centre of Ndola town in the Copper rich province of Zambia. It is an old hotel bbut clean and the rooms are very spacious. I spent two nights in the hotel during a business trip and found it adequate. The staff were courtious. The food was not very good but I rarely enjoy hotel... More

I stayed here for two nights. The hotel is convenient for short stay and the staff are very friendly, something am not used to in this parts of Africa. They have free wifi in the lobby and the breakfast is sumptuous. Just watch out for the lift which takes ages to come if you are not on the ground floor.... More

Well you won't be in this part of Zambia (as a foreigner) unless you are working for a copper mining company or on some kind of relief project like myself. This hotel is from Ndola's glory days of the 60s and 70s and honestly doesn't look like its been updated since then. It could have once been a glamorous place... More

We stayed at the Savoy for a week in early June. The staff was very helpful and always friendly. They upgraded our room to a suite, so we had two bathrooms, a real plus for us. We always had power and hot water, not our previous two experiences in the area. As with many properties in this part of the... More

One wants to be fair in developing nations and not impose Western standards in such reviews. However, the first word that comes to mind when entering a room at the Savoy is: grim. Or possibly: yard sale. It's definitely a hotel that has seen better days. Every room has items that have been cobbled together from the remnants of other... More
