切爾西酒店

Everything was great but checkin and checkout are a little bit slow and complicated

I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS HOTEL FOR VARIOUS REASONS:: FIRST, LET ME START BY SAYING THAT I AM VERY AWARE OF THE DIFFERENCES IN EXPERIENCE I WOULD HAVE STAYING AT A HOTEL IN AFRICA V.S. A U.S. ESTABLISHMENT. SO, THIS IS NOT AN “I’M A SPOILED AMERICAN” COMPLAINT. EVERYTHING I’M REFERRING TO IS REGARDING MANAGEMENT, NOT THE STAFF/WORKERS:: 1. THE MANAGERS DO NOT TREAT THE STAFF WELL AS I HAVE EXPERIENCED MANY OCCASIONS WHERE THEY WOULD TALK DOWN AND YELL AT THE TANZANIAN BORN NATIVES WHILE WORKING. ALTHOUGH THEY SEEM TO ONLY RESPECT THE FRONT DESK WORKERS. 2. THEY ARE CHEAP AND INCONSISTENT IN BUSINESS PRACTICES. I UNDERSTAND HOW EXPENSIVE ELECTRICAL POWER IS IN AFRICA, BUT WHY HAVE A FRIDGE IN THE ROOMS WHEN YOU HAVE TO HAVE THE POWER DISABLED EVERY TIME YOU LEAVE THE DAMN ROOM. GOD FORBID IF I HAD SOMETHING IN THE REFRIGERATOR THAT COULD GO BAD. AND I WONT EVEN TALK ABOUT THE SO-CALLED FREE BREAKFAST. THE OPTIONS WERE SO LIMITED THAT IT WAS SAD. I ONLY ATE THERE TO SAVE SHILLINGS. THEN EVENTUALLY STOPPED ONCE I TOOK SICK DUE TO SOMETHING I ATE. 3. I COULD BE WRONG, BUT IT SEEMS AS IF THEY INTENTIONALLY CUT OFF THE WIFI, EVEN AFTER HAVING THE AUDACITY TO TELL YOU THAT YOU ONLY HAVE INTERNET FOR FOR FOUR DAYS, NO MATTER HOW LONG YOU’RE STAYING. I FOUND MYSELF CONSTANTLY ASKING FOR A PASSWORD. 4. THERE IS NO CONCEPT OF PRIVACY WHATSOEVER AT THIS PLACE. THEY ARE CONSTANTLY LURKING AROUND EVERYWHERE AND SOMETIMES FOLLOW YOU TO WHERE YOU’RE GOING EVEN WHEN YOU DIDN’T ASK. MAYBE

I actually ended up staying there three times during my 2-month trip to Tanzania. The staff are superb and very caring. The location is downtown and very close to the ferry to Zanzibar. Great breakfast and very comfortable rooms with all the necessary modern commodities and a safe. I can’t wait to stay at this hotel again and have great memories from there. Please, remember to go to the roof and take some panoramic photos from there.

Efficint, clè

It is a clean, comfortable and reasonably priced hotel.

Excellent Place. The Staff were very kind. Worth for the price

Stopped here on the way to Zanzibar. Hotel was very clean and included a generous breakfast. Good value for money.

Great place to stay, close all the attractions , friendly and helpful owners and staff too, I will stay again on my future trips.

Very mediocre at best. They had problems dealing with reservations. The First night I was 1 person.. Second night we were 2..it was booked accordingly and correctly on my end but they couldn't resist the attempted shakedown trying to charge for the imaginary extra person as a guest..not once.. But like 5 times. Each time it was explained slowly and with pictures so they could understand..the shakedown got old after a while.. .. The room smelled bad like body odor from the staff or maybe the room was just not cleaned.. Bring incense (udi in swahili) or moth balls..Big market next door so easy to find if you know the word in swahili.

Staff was very professional. My room was relatively clean. I would definitely come back.
