Pros:

Great location close to the airport - I arrived at night and needed to catch an early morning local flight so it was ideal. Vey convenient airport pick up and drop off service. The airport drop off was on time 4.30am.

Cons:

I had a hard time connecting with the airport pick up driver - had to call the hotel several times but he finally showed up about an hour later.

Pros:

Jeg kunne godt lide at Blue Saffihre Hotel tilbyder gratis Pick up fra og til Lufthavnen i Dar Es Salam - kun 10 min. kørsel.
Hotellet har også en god resturant med døgn roomservice.

Très bon séjour. N'eut été la perte de notre valise, c'est serait WAOU
Pros:

Le petit déjeuner était bon et tout le monde a apprécié.
Il manquait de petits mets tels les saucissons, quelques fruits, mais en général c'était ok.

Cons:

Ce qu'il faudrait améliorer c'est la sécurité des bagages. Nous avons perdu une de nos valises, qui était consignée à l'hôtel.
Par inadvertance, l'hôtel a du la remettre à quelqu'un d'autre.
Apres notre départ, ils nous ont envoyé une photo de notre valise retrouvée. Nous attendons toujours et maintenant son expédition.

Pros:

Henkilökunta oli avuliasta ja ystävällistä. Huone oli tilava ja siisti. Sijainti lähellä lentokenttää oli meille sopiva, tosin Slipwaylle ajomatka kesti 45 min. Jääkaappi oli plussaa sekä toimiva ilmastointi. Iso plussa ilmaisesta lentokenttäkuljetuksesta.

Cons:

Huoneesta puuttui käsipyyhkeet ja peitto oli liian paksu. Kylpypyyhkeiden materiaali outo, ei kuivannut kuten pyyhkeet normaalisti. Huone oli jotenkin tunkkainen ja ulkopuolella oli päivällä meteliä, ehkä rakennustyömaa.
