No pool access, no working kitchen. Comfy beds.
Hotel was very nice, as you would expect at the price. A peaceful place to end a hectic trip, and we had our room upgraded for free.
Some issues though:
1. No pool. It is closed on Sundays (there was no warning of this), and when open is in a separate building. Same applies to the gym.
2. The kitchen was not stocked with the tools to cook anything. No saucepan, utensils, mainly just empty cupboards, some glasses, small plates and basic cutlery.
3. Breakfast was booked as included but we were told it wasn’t when we checked in. Had to get hotels.com to speak with them about this, which was time-consuming. When we got it, it was excelllent.
4. TVs in every room and none of them worked/were tuned. Usually wouldn’t care about this but we just needed to chill in Dar, and it’s a real basic.

PERFECTION
PERFECT stay. It was the best way to end our time in Dar es Salaam! We will absolutely stay here again. The lay out of the 2 bedroom is exceptional. The restaurant is beautiful, with wonderful views of the city, and tasty food!

Very nice, Hope it gets maintained!
The place is quite nice and clean. Great views of the city too. There is a tendency of places like these in Dar-Es-Salaam not getting maintained with high standards which leaves to deterioration and resulting to look dated and broken. The AC in my first room had an issue which caused a fuse trip, i was moved to another room where the AC had water leaking which shows it hasn't been maintained.
Overall, i would definitely come back IF this place remains as good as.
