Everything was fine! The staff was very helpful! The owner has to upgrade the exterior. Other than that, all went well! The room is very spacious. The food is affordable and the free breakfast is a plus.

An odd experience

I found the place rather confusing. The Uber driver couldn't find it and had to ask several people in the vicinity. There are no markings to indicate "Ngaliema Resort Club"; indeed the board with keys at reception has a different name on it. There's no lobby, just an office that might be open. They do serve a breakfast on the rooftop. There seemed to be very few guests and very few staff around. The room was OK - air conditioned and with some amenities - but the location wasn't great. I like a walkable neighborhood, but here there's nothing. No restaurant or attractions in walking distance; anything you want to do will take an Uber or taxi. Uber does work well here. The price is not bad for this city if that's the main concern.

The stay was great! I had to travel within the country in the middle of my stay, and asked for two nights to be carried over when I come back and there was no issue with that. Very friendly staff.

Some disappointment this time!

My family and I have stayed here a few times. The staff is friendly. This time, we found a large hole in the comforter. The bed was made in such a way that the hole could not be easily seen. The cleaning lady always showed up at 7 AM. That is a little too early. Also, the TV did not work. It seems like the cable bill was not paid, but they made it seem like the issue was with the TV. We informed the staff, but nothing was done. Very disappointing.

Would not book if last place available. Avoid!

Airline cancelled flights 4 months before stay (2 rooms, 14 nights). Hotel ignored all communication from myself and Expedia who admitted they have false contact info registered & could not authorise a refund as they could not contact the property! False email/telephone number, Website taken down years ago, Facebook not updated for 3 years, Twitter not updated for 2+ years. They only seem to take bookings through 3rd party sites and do not interact directly at all. I see it has now changed it's name on here from Ngaliema Resort Club to Residence Mbemba probably to avoid other bad ratings. A four figure loss in total, partly my own fault as had I researched this hotel properly I probably would never have booked for us. Book with this place at your own risk. While I can confirm it does actually exist, don't expect any support if anything goes awry.

Reposant et heureux

La piscine malgré le fait qu'il y avait du bruit et que l'accès était pas toujours sécuritaire, la piscine a été pour moi un grande source de détente et d'exercice. L'accès à l'hôtel quand je suis arrivée 23 heures le soir, aucune indication de l'hôtel ni de lumière alors que le gps nous indiquait que nous y étions presque. Après 3 reprises nous sommes enfin arrivés. Un peu difficile après 36 heures de voyage. J'ai bien aimé le Ngaliema!
La chaleur de l'accueil et le rafraichissement de l'ère de détente, bel endroit pour accueillir la famille.

Bon séjour dans l'ensemble. La navette qui m'avait été promise n'était pas au rendez-vous à l'aéroport et à l'arrivée comme au départ, il m'avait fallu prendre un taxi. Pour mes déplacements, au début, j'avais des difficultés à trouver de taxi pour m'y amener, l'hotel semble inconnu ; par la suite, sur conseil de l'un des réceptionnistes, le problème a été règlé : il suffisait de dire "face au domicile de l'ex-président GEUI. Pour la restauration, le menu ne comporte que quelques plats, le choix est "presque imposé" et le service est trop lent. Excuse : le restaurant est en réfection. Dans l'ensemble l'hotel est très bien et mérite d'être mieux connu.

Dont stay here unless you have no choice

Upon arrival the receptionist said there is no booking in my name, called expedia.com, they did nothing to check. I took upon to look at their computer and wow... found my booking in the first line itself. I showed to the receptionist and she did not even apologize and gave me the room key. Had I not seen their system would have turned out. So unprofessional. Room booed was not allotted and instead they gave me lower category room saying my room is not available. breakfast was terrible, no restaurants nearby. The vibe is negative. WiFi was as good as not there.
