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!

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.

Beautiful hotel worth every penny
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.

Stylish modern hotel
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.
