Pros:

Lovely hotel with classic Tanzanian charm and warm hospitality. Rooms are comfortable and well equipped. Best of all are the staff and food! Staff are flawless, courteous and kind - truly excellent service. The food is also exceptionally good, with a great breakfast spread included and delicious Swahili style dinners available. There are also some international dining options on the menu, but the Swahili food here is so good that we never tried them.

Cons:

The beds were a little hard for my taste, but I tend to like softer beds.

i travelled for business, but felt at home at the hotel, it was a good base to stay.
Pros:

the staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful, from the early morning checking at 03.00, to arranging transfers and taxis with efficiency and care, to overall attentiveness and service excellence. even the GM of the hotel came to personally introduce himself, which was appreciated.

It's my preferred hotel in Dar es Salaam. The restaurant is excellent and the service too
Pros:

Breakfast was ok but too heavy on the Indian cuisine. Perhaps a mixture of Indian, African and others will go a long way in improving the monotony of eating breakfast with always the same ingredients. Overall it wasn't bad

Cons:

The building needs some repairs as it's looking rather unkempt since my last stay there 2 years ago.
