    The reception area was a bit too simple for such a beautiful property. The absence of a hotel pool / hot tub was evident. A roof top restaurant would be a perfect addition

    Location was perfect as my friends had just moved to the city of Dar a week before and were still finding their wah around the city. It turns out that the hotel was leass than a mile from their new apartment

    The airport pick up service was a bit of a mess, had to get a taxi. Customer service via messaging should give more prompt response to clients.

    The pool, restaurant & gym were closed from 5pm (I had no prior notice) for a private party which went on too the early hours waking me up quite a few times. The room was £64 a night but early check in (9am) was £50!

    The rooms were big & I was grateful for early check in.

    Assumption that all TV stations relayed to the rooms should be in Swahili. Missed all the superport games and AFCON games were purely in Swahili. Ended up streaming on my tiny laptop.

    I liked the warmth of the staff, the cleanliness of the facilities and speed of internet. The breakfast was satisfying. Consider more variety for the main meals. When I travel I prefer more of local meals.

    Very noisy outside air conditioning unit. Check upon check-in and request a change of room if you hear this sound.

    Hotel has a geotag on Google maps, so you can always get a taxi by Bolt ) Nice pool and gym, neighbourhood is also pleasant.

    Very good value for a business stay, with staff, breakfast and the gym as standouts

    I did not like the design of the room very well - especially the bathroom layout. Mirrors and lights were clearly not planned for women who desire to apply makeup, and the location of the wardrobe was a bit awkward. The room still served all my needs and was perfectly functional, but it was not "top".

    The staff was very kind and accommodating of my many requests. In particular I appreciated that they were always available to help me find a taxi service, and my local colleague confirmed that their taxi connections were very affordable. I also really liked being able to access the gym. The breakfast was excellent and always had high-quality fruit - which I would expect but do not always receive in similar climates.

    Asked for sparkling water at 11pm and was told that the bar had closed even though I went to the bar and inquired about room service. Unfortunate for a 4 stars hotel to close room service at 11pm!!

    They closed the restaurant one evening for private celebrations when I wanted to eat there with a friend. But only one evening. On a multi day stay, they took advantage of "on demand pricing" and increased my rate. I had only booked the first night. But of course it is their right to increase room price when I dont lock in my price by booking the full stay beforehand. The pool is being renovated and was not usable.

    Very nice gym, good staff, good breakfast. In general my favorite option to stay in this area.
