Management needs to have a serious look into house keeping. I have complained a dozen times about these ladies who will come to the room for whatever reason to either spray for mosquitoes or bring something and they will knock once, twice and suddenly you see someone opening the door and she is inside the room. NOT ACCEPTABLE AT ALL. It has happen to me several times and I have complained many times to management but this hasn’t changed. Now I have made a decision to change the hotel and go else where every-time I visit Dar es salaam.

The bed was very bad. We felt both the same. The breakfast was ok but not more than ok. The pool was a bit dirty. Maybe because no one seems to used it except me when I was there.

Old property and things are falling apart. Needs major renovation, food is not good at all. The food quality is very low and one surprising thing is breakfast room service is 25,000 shillings, it means if you decide to have breakfast in your room they will a charge you room service 25,000($12). I find this ridiculous especially if you look at the food they serve.
