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.

Vorsicht bei Aufträgen an Hotelangestellte
Pros:

Schönes großes Zimmer mit zuverlässigem wake-up Service und Shuttlebus.

Cons:

Das uns ein Hotelangestellter beim Kauf um Geld betrogen hat, interessierte keinen. Ist halt üblich in Tansania und gehört zur Mentalität (lt. einer Einheimischen)

Super raccomandato
Pros:

Là vicinanza all’aeroporto, l’ampiezza delle camere e della doccia, la crema corpo e il dental kit, la qualità dei materassi e degli asciugamani, la presenza del bollitore in camera, la palestra.

Cons:

Là posizione , ma d’altronde è stato scelto come base prima di un volo intercontinentale, abbiamo visto di peggio ;-) . Mancava il phon in camera

Pros:

after many phone calls, they finally sent a car to pick us up at the terminal
when our AC did not work, staff (reluctantly) agreed to give us a different room

Cons:

AC in the room was not working, it took us a long time (and energy) to convince staff to give us a different room
Ther was no food in the restaurant in the evening, even though it was formally "open"
