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.
