The staff were incredible. They were extremely helpful and friendly. The hotel was very clean. The breakfast buffet was delicious.
The hotel room bathroom doors were horrible. There is absolutely no privacy whatsoever.
This property is incredibly well kept and the staff are among the most hospitable you will ever come across in East Africa. The pool area is a great place to hangout with a view and close to the restaurant inside which in itself is magnificent.
Overall a great property with very friendly and attentive staff. I truly enjoyed my stay here and would recommend it to anyone staying in Dar Es Salaam.
Always a perfect choice for business travelers, clean, calm and relaxed atmosphere. However, some ladies at the reception need more training on treating customers right.
The property is well suited to business travelers. It is clean, well maintained, and safe. The in house restaurant is good. Check in and check out was easy.
The place was clean safe and Friendly staff. Meals and service was good. Would like to have courtesy ground transportation to and from airport to hotel
