Best place to stay in Dar!

I arrived at the hostel in the morning and they kindly let me check in as there was a bed available. All of the staffs were very kind and willing to help me. The room was very spacious, clean and had nice air-conditioning throughout the day. They had nice rooftop where you can talk with your friends, and eat breakfast and dinner. You can have a lunch and dinner here if you want, its $5 each. The breakfast was great, and you have nice hot shower too. It's not located centre of the city but if you take public bus, its very easy to access. I liked the fact they provided a locker for each person so that you can secure your valuables safe. Overall, it's value for money and I would recommend to anyone! I would stay here again.
