Pros:

Le personnel toujours prêt à vous aider
Le lit était grand

Cons:

Du bruit
Le sois disant 9 dollars de taxe alors que c'était 6 en arrivant
J'ai fait plusieurs hôtels en Tanzanie dont un autre a dar es salaam on m'a jamais demandé cette taxe
De plus cette taxe en dollar pour après la payer en shilling tanzanien juste pour vous encore vous taxer sur la conversation
Très très déçue de cette hôtel !!!!
