2/10 Terrible

I stayed in room 3317. I got bug bites. My wife had major loose motion after having their breakfast buffet. There is also a bad smell in the room and hallways. Staff is super friendly but because of these factors I recommend not staying at this property.

Nice place to stay when you arrive or on your way to the airport in Dar Es Salaam. A good restaurant option and a very nice buffet for breakfast.
Jill, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

The hotel room was spacious and clean - and not too far from the airport. The staff was friendly. Unfortunately, my airport transfer from the airport did not show (in spite of two confirmations). While this is not the fault of the hotel at all - there is extensive road construction which makes the entrance very difficult to access.
