Mitigé.
Pros:

Le personnel est très agréable. À chaque petit problème il essaie d’y remédier.

Cons:

Les équipements sont un peu vieillots. La chambre n’était pas fonctionnelle à notre arrivée (prévue depuis car réservation en ligne). Par exemple Il fallait régler une mauvaise odeur émanant des toilettes pendant que nous étions déjà installés. La carte pour ouvrir la porte n’a cessé d’avoir un souci, le soir même il a fallu bricoler la porte et se contenter de fermer à double tour. Donc pour ouvrir c’était compliqué. Le restaurant ne rend pas automatiquement la monnaie, on a l’impression de se sentir forcée pour un pourboire, j’estime que c’est au client de décider s’il laisse ou pas. Mais très souvent il garde la monnaie. C’est dommage.

Pros:

First and most of all, the true asset of this hotel is the staff: ever so friendly, genuinely helpful and smiling, but discreet (and not asking for tips)... this was true for everybody I came across from the doorman, receptionist, waiters, cleaning lady, spa ladies, manager. So do take care of the staff, don't spoil the good vibes;-).
Modern architecture - I usually prefer historic buildings, but the exterior as well as the interior are very agreeable.
Excellent Indian food.
Spa centre.
Excellent location: good starting point to travel by sea, air or train from or to Dar Es Salaam. Walking distance to historical sites or museums.
Spacious, bright, quiet and comfortable room with window for train spotting (for railway lovers).
Good WiFi.

Cons:

This only indirectly concerns the hotel: while the location is good, it's true that there are quite a number of con artists in the surrounding area (especially at the ferry point to Zanzibar) who are intrusive and insistent... if you come from Zanzibar you may be used to this, but if you come from elsewhere, it is really bothering.

Pros:

Restaurante top.

Cons:

Mau cheiro no quarto e barulho do comboio pois meu quarto era o último no fim do corredor ao lado da linha férrea enquanto o hotel não estava cheio podíamos me dar outro quarto. Foi horrivel
