Older hotel that has nice updates. The room and bathroom were very nice and comfortable. The staff was friendly. The food at the restaurants was mostly Indian dishes.

My room had several problems with the facilities. Some outlet sockets were out of order, the kettle was broken, and the fridge was also out of order. Once the curcuit breaker tripped at night. I think the rooms need more frequent maintenance. Staff were always quick to respond to solve the problems and I was happy with that.

The hotel was in relatively good locality. Little bit far from Airport considering local traffic and ongoing Bridge construction going on in Dar Es Salaam. Restaurant food was one of the big plus. Roof top Bar & Restaurant was quite good, helps to relax after hectic work day. Local Taxis are always available outside the hotel.

This is a very good hotel in the city centre. The wifi worked well and the restaurant served good food (and beer). The room was spacious, clean and comfortable, and the air conditioning worked well. The biggest plus as far as I was concerned was the helpfulness and friendliness of the staff and management, which was outstanding. This will be my hotel of choice on my return to Dar es Salaam.

The staff were all charming and friendly. Restaurant service one night was so slow I left - 45 minute wait for a curry!!
There was a function upstairs, and I don't think they thought anyone else would be eating.
Breakfast (included) was OK, much Indian food, but omlets made to order.

The condition of the room is really bad. Paint is peeling. Washroom tiles are dirty and may have MOLD. Water doesn't drain during shower. It is really bad. Only supplied on bath towel and one hand towel. No napkins.
Neighborhood does not suite the location of this hotel.

I am used to stay in this hotel every time I visit Dar for about more than 4 years. At least a week stay every year. Very nice property with comfort, easy accessible, good location. Especially for Indian traveller it's a good choice as very close to Indian temples, Indian foods at walkable distance. Overall a good hotel.
