Great value for money in a very good location and super nice staff
Pros:

We only stayed for one night with a very early check-out. The hotel is very good value-for-money (given the generally high hotel prices in Dar), but do not expect any frills. Super friendly personnel both at the reception and at the bar, great location close to many restaurants and bars in walking distance, clean rooms and comfy beds. Also organized a taxi for us to the bus station at a very reasonable price. Thanks!

Cons:

Bathroom is like a built-in capsule with milk glass - so a bit limited privacy when staying with someone else in the room.
