Pros:

The service and food was fantastic. The door attendant Benson was brilliant and the manager went out his way to make us feel at home. Reception was very helpful and the food was 10/10 I've already booked another visit 😀

Comfortable, convenient and excellent service!
Pros:

The staff went above and beyond to ensure that my visit, that got off on the wrong foot at the airport, was not the memory that I would leave wirh. Service was exceptional.

I hope they will pay more attention, especially to maintenance and cleanliness.
Pros:

My previous stay at this hotel was excellent, which is why I am disappointed with my recent experience. The hotel still has a lot of potential, but I believe the main issue is the lack of proper maintenance, especially in the bathrooms. These areas need more attention and regular upkeep to maintain the standard the hotel once offered. I truly hope the management addresses this, as I know from my previous visit how excellent this hotel can be.

Cons:

The rooms are poorly maintained and clean, and I request a wider variety of food options in the restaurant.

Pros:

I received both of the extra beds for my children that I requested.

Cons:

The price of their shuttle to the train station is a bit outrageous. The station is less than 10 minutes from the hotel and they were asking three times the going rate.

Lovely place with excellent food
Pros:

I loved the staff and the nice rooms. The cleaning staff is exceptionally friendly, as are the waiters and the reception desk/porters.

Also, specifically the cooks, I'd like to thank you for the excellent food. Thank you a lot!

Cons:

The pricing could be just a little bit better, but it is still worth it.

However, the airport taxi being priced 15 USD is a bit much.

Pros:

Location is close to the train station and the ferry to Zanzibar, also very good location if you are going to the airport, about 20min drive if no traffic jam to the airport.
Room was quite spacious, clean, with lots of storage. They provide most of the amenities drinking water, shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, lotion, bar soap. There's a small fridge in the room. Breakfast was a buffet and the chicken soup was delicious.

Cons:

The bed felt old, but comfortable enough to get a good night's sleep. The AC was noisy, but functioned pretty well. Woke up around 5am from the train horning which is not the hotel's fault of course. Past 6am it gets quite again.
