WARNING STAY AWAY! Hotel WAY Over Charges for things that are stated such as laundry, I asked and they added my charges up but they charged me in dollars and made the amount four times as much. I did two bags of laundry and then they saw it was times but refused to refund me the $153 overcharge. Then I started looking and realized they had done other charges that did not beling to me.

Dar Es Salaam

This was a great location with a nice apartment style room. The staff was very friendly and helpful during check in and with local information around the location. The restaurant was good for both breakfast and dinner, the rooftop view of Dar Es Salaam was a great way to spend our first night there.

Very nice and spacious rooms. Restaurant at the rooftop was great for views and drinks. Food was just ok. Breakfast buffet was exceptional on the other end. Only tiny complain is the soap pumps in the bathrooms were rusty and not working. Housekeeping obviously knows and ignore! Please replace immediately! Staff super friendly! I would go back! Yes, I would recommend this place!

Very nice, Hope it gets maintained!

The place is quite nice and clean. Great views of the city too. There is a tendency of places like these in Dar-Es-Salaam not getting maintained with high standards which leaves to deterioration and resulting to look dated and broken. The AC in my first room had an issue which caused a fuse trip, i was moved to another room where the AC had water leaking which shows it hasn't been maintained. Overall, i would definitely come back IF this place remains as good as.
