As others are noting, the service here is great. Always very friendly smiles and people eager to help in any way. The room was very comfortable and nice, although a bit on the cozy side. As I was travelling solo for business, it didn't matter -- was just right. The rooms look out over the courtyard and pool, creating a... More

We came to this hotel after a 2 day stay in Dubai and I must say the warm reception and friendly staff was a welcome change.

We stopped here for a night before starting an overland tour. There was a small snafu with the rooms because I had booked through my tour company (mistake!) and the hotel couldn't do much because they were fully booked. Also we were having difficulty dealing with the heat and we went apoplectic when we accidentally turned off the A/C and... More

After long days work and cruising through the traffic jams of Dar it was like landing in a peaceful heaven. Very good food, friendly and professional staff. Very clean and large room. What more could I have asked for ? Unfortunately, did not have time to enjoy the SPA !

The hotel courtyard is beautiful, most rooms look in on the courtyard which felt very safe and secure. Rooms were clean and tidy - the rooms in the corner are larger than the rooms that look directly out onto the courtyard, but both offer more than enough space. The swimming pool is kept very clean and is big enough to... More
