City centre location, less than 5mins walk.from where the bus to Dar Es Salaam departs/arrives. Breakfast ok. Room was clean and comfortable and was good value for money.

The service personal was friendly and outstanding, very customer orientated. Although I had to leave earlier than I had planned they organized a quick check out and charged me no additional fee. Remarkable.

Staff were ok, room really needs some maintenance, terrible bathroom door, restaurant could have more variety for Western travellers. Towels old, need hand towel, bathmat, decent soap. I wouldn't recommend for the novice traveller. Hotel is in a vibrant, busy area which I appreciate. Local merchants are friendly and helpful, bjaji drivers amiable and fun to converse with, curious about a 76 yr old female solo traveller. So love the locals!!

I love this property. Been staying here since the early 2000s. Cheap, close to city city, and to all that Dar Es Salaam has to offer. I love the evening street meal just outside the hotel. From nyama choma to all the flovored India, Arabic, and persian cuisines. All at the lowest price anybody can afford. I will be there everytime I visit Dar Es Salaam.

Der Flughafenservice hat gut funktioniert, der Check in war problemlos und schnell. Das Zimmer war klein aber funktional. Nach dem Duschen stand das Bad Unterwasser.
