Protea Hotel By Marriott Livingstone

“Excellent Staff & Location”

I brought two groups of friends this summer and the staff was great! Alex, a manager, did an excellent job taking care of all our needs. The breakfast is very delicious and the location is wonderful. We did have mosquitos in some of our rooms but they sprayed and brought us mosquito nets.

“Activities Desk not too friendly on the payment side”

I had an OK stay here. Livingstone was lovely and relaxed. Hotel staff was kind and helpful. Only issue with the activity desk with their sort of aggressive payment requirements. Once I was late for the Botswana Chobe day tour (they had told me it started at 8, when it really started at 7) so I cou… lisää

Once I was late for the Botswana Chobe day tour (they had told me it started at 8, when it really started at 7) so I could not pay that morning and then they hounded me to pay in Botswana (at an inflated exchange rate) instead of waiting for my return to pay in USD which I had readily available in my room. That left quite a sour taste in my mouth.

“Amazing Showers”

I have never seen a hotel with such amazing showers. Just by themselves, they make a huge difference in the stay.

Staff was very nice and helpful, breakfast buffet is plenty, and internet was working as expected.

Review of Protea Livingstone, Zambia We stayed at the Protea Livingstone while attending a wedding, and overall, the staff was outstanding—accommodating, thoughtful, and incredibly helpful. The hotel is clean and well-maintained, with spotless rooms and immaculate public areas. However, a major issue was the air conditioning. It only runs for 18 hours a day, and the schedule varies daily. The AC was weak, keeping the room at an uncomfortable 80 degrees at best. Worse, it shuts off between 8am and 4pm, making it particularly challenging to get ready for the wedding. Given the extreme heat (over 100°F during our stay), I would have chosen a different hotel had I known this in advance. As a loyal Marriott customer, this was disappointing, and I would recommend considering other options if reliable 24-hour AC is a priority for your stay.
