Fantastic hotel near the airport. It was a bit far from the city center though. We went by taxi and that was okay. The hotel was so calm and nice that we wanted to spend the time there instead of the busy streets. The rooms and area around the hotel was clean. The staff was super friendly and made our stay very good. Cant think of anything to complaint about.

Very nice and clean property. The staff was very nice. There is not a free airport shuttle as it says on the hotel description. There is an outside company that they call which was good and it costs $10.

I was here for one night before returning back to Dar. It was a very easy check in process. The staff were helpful with the luggage and assisting me to my room. The first thing I noticed was how clean the property was. The room was gorgeous. They had all necessary amenities and we had a very quiet and calm night which was very much needed. It was also in a very convenient location, which gave us a little more time to sleep before leaving the next morning.
