A beautiful old hotel with modern facilities. A perfect place to relax.
Pros:

A beautiful hotel, built around the 1950’s.
Charming with a small pool within the enclosed courtyard which had beautiful plants and sitting area. Very quiet and relaxing unlike the bustle of Dar es Salaam.

Cons:

Nothing, it was perfect.

Aesthetic and comfy!
Pros:

Very aesthetic hotel and courteous staff. Felt like I was staying at a princely estate.

Cons:

Two things, one, mosquitoes in the lawn (not the hotel's fault I know but). Second, the Indian menu can be more diverse and authentic as lots of Indians are choosing this hotel now. I'm telling you, Protea is hot in Delhi. We used to go with Four Points just because they have an Indian chef.

Pros:

Mukava hotelli, jossa oli kaikki mitä tarvitsin viikon työmatkalla. Aamiainen oli hyvä ja kahvi erinomaista. Huone oli siisti ja muutoinkin puitteet olivat mitä parhaimmat. Sijaintikin oli ok, mutta lähistöllä ei ollut mitään mielenkiintoista nähtävää.

Cons:

Henkilökunta voisi vähän paremmin pitää lupauksensa. Esimerkiksi välillä silitysraudan tuominen saattoi kestää parikin tuntia ja lupauksia unohdettiin ihan koko ajan. Huoneessa olevan kaapin haju oli hirveä ja se levisi koko huoneeseen.

Pros:

To najlepszy najspokojniejszy i najbardziej wygofnd hotel w jakim spali św my w Dar
Śniadania są cudowne, po całyn dniu halasu w centrum Dar. Wraca się tam z przyjemnością. Zaledwie 15 minut tuk tukiem z centrum. Bardzo blisko oceanu. Piękny ogród, kolonialny styl hotelu, przyjemny mały basen. Piękna restauracja, cisza, spokój, ogromby wybor pysznej kuchni
Pokoje czyte

Cons:

Zepsuta deszczownica pod prysznicem w pokoju 301. Woda spod prysznica ze względu na niefunkcjonalny prysznic wylewa się aż do pokojj.

Cóż.. Nawet to nie obniży mojej oceny
