Gute und freundlich Unterkunft mitten in Dar es Salaam
Pros:

Wir übernachten meistens im Colosseum wenn wir in Dar es Salaam sind. Der Empfang ist immer freundlich, die Zimmer und Badezimmer sind geräumig, das Frühstück ist gut und das Personal ist immer freundlich und zuvorkommen.

Cons:

Das eher etwas schwere Interieur und die eher schweren Düfte des Shampoos und Shower Gels entspricht nicht ganz meinem Geschmack aber ist ok.

Cons:

I had a room on the first floor and the window was not possible lock. Maintenance fixed one of the windows on the first night but the other window had the same problem and was only fixed the second night. High security risk on the first floor where it would have been easy to climb in. The safe was not working the whole stay. But the worst issue was that I had booked a shuttle from the airport to the hotel through the hotel and given my flight details. The flight was delayed and the shuttle service didn't check this so they charged me twice for the shuttle and even the hotel management had no desire to solve this double charge they simply refused and charged me even though they had all details and could easily have checked if the flight was on time or delayed. I do not recommend staying at this hotel, I will never stay here again and no business affiliate of mine will ever stay here.

Excellent value for money
Pros:

We had a wonderful stay at Colosseum. The access to the fitness center and pool was a great bonus, the staff were welcoming and attentive, and the breakfast was delicious. The hotel has a lively atmosphere and offers a level of service that feels like the charm of the old days.

Fine but expensive for what it is and could do better
Pros:

Rooms simple and nice and probably 4* in like 1998. Restaurant is nice and decent breakfast. Spa/ health facilities weird. Fingerprint ID??

Cons:

Lack of mosquito protection. In a place where Malaria exists, we had one in our room at night and had to spray entire room to kill at 4am. Not good enough.
