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.

Genoten!
Pros:

Het personeel was super vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Johnstone, Dorah, Peter en Hamisa waren al helemaal geweldig!

Het zwembad was heerlijk en werd elke dag schoongemaakt. We hadden een mooie ruime kamer, die ook elke dag goed werd schoongemaakt. De regendouche was super fijn.

Het restaurant was altijd erg rustig, maar zowel het ontbijt als het diner was er heerlijk. Het ontbijtbuffet had erg veel keuzes, met eten van meerdere culturen bij elkaar.

Cons:

Het bed was aan de harde kant en de eerste dag lagen er veel haren in de douche.
