The property has a nice ambiance and the lobby is beautifully decorated. We got the superior twin room but found it to be a bit small and missing a few things that would make the stay excellent such as a soap holder in the shower, a sanitary bin in the bathroom and wardrobes that do not make a load sound when closing. I would also advise that they do something about the flies in the dining area as they can be quite annoying and there should be an easy solution to this. Otherwise the staff is super friendly and the front desk staff are particulalrly accommodating and attentive. I really appreciated the jazz music that played in the lobby and dining area and the spa was neat and clean - I had a good foot massage.

The place is nice however the rooms are really small in comparison to the pictures on the website. The bathroom and shower space is so small.
However, breakfast is amazing!

The hotel has an outstanding location and the staff are incredibly helpful and very friendly. But the hotel seems to be run to look nice rather than function properly. The WIFI is frankly non existent which I would say is an essential when charging such a premium for a hotel. Rooms are on the small size and lack basic things such a shelves in the bathroom for towels and anywhere in the shower to place shampoo etc. The water was rarely hot so cold showers are the norm most days. If they improved a few details, specifically the WiFi I would consider returning but as it is now, I wouldn’t come back.

I was very pleased to stay at Cargo88, I loved the Roman how the used the cargo to made them and you don’t feel like you’re in a cargo container
Only when I ordered some meat I said medium rare and it came well done but I have to eat because I was starving hahaha but otherwise I will come back again!!

This is new property and very well designed. The standard rooms are a bit small. The next step up is good. Hoping they can keep up the maintenance.

Beautiful hotel with interesting art, amazing service, comfortable rooms, a nice restaurant, and some seriously cold air conditioning. It is adjacent to shopping mall, where there are bank machines. Taxi to the airport is about 190K.

Cargo88 is a brand new hotel located steps from East Park Mall. It felt very similar to the 3 and 4 star hotels I often stay in when traveling for work in the U.S.
Staff were very friendly, my room was comfortable, and there were lots of good dining and retail options within walking distance. There’s nothing about it that feels particularly Zambian, so if you’re looking for local color it’s best to stay elsewhere, but it’s a great base of operations for a longer trip.

Excellent property with a very unique design concept. Excellent innovation at full display. Just loved how the reception area eases into the Bar and dinning area.
The one thing that I didn't like for the Room with the Balcony was noises from the metal roof from even slight rain drops.

Issues with Wifi. When my room is closed, then the wifi was very bad in my room. Informed staff, but nothing changed. I think the room is too far away from Access Points.

It was pleasant, although there was no hot water in the one shower and it wasn’t very clean. TV’s also don’t work independently from each other. Other than that, good value!
