Overall, an enjoyable stay.

I found the property to be a very good choice for accommodation in Dar Es Salaam. It’s well situated, a short ride or an easy walk, to most points of interest in the business district and ferry port, for those looking to access Zanzibar via ferry. The staff overall were quite welcoming and friendly, and I found the room to be comfortable, clean, and with adequate amenities. The onsite restaurant is quite decent as well. Plus, other eateries are within walking distance of the hotel. Overall, an enjoyable stay.

Didn’t get the room I had reserved and was promised a change but this wasnt fulfilled. Decided not to make a follow-up to test if they would do it. They didn’t. There was construction in the property making it very noisy during the day. It was an inconvenience.
