Good stay with some hick ups

The hotel is nice and not so far from beach, rooms are quite good only a bit dated with some of things like safe is amazingly tiny and not working as it should. Bathroom just most basic things and would need a bit of polish as feel used. Bed and sleep was good. Over for price paid is really good value. Breakfast for some reason is mostly sweets, but you can find fruits and some eggs for start. For working from here... forget about it wifi is just bare minimum, things like conference calls mostly not possible. on the end I find out there is a massage possible and it was really good just reception did not toold me at check in. Services need some patience.

Behov av allmän upprustning

Hotellet behöver en allmän upprustning och frukostbuffen var något torftig och inte alltid tillräcklig för alla. Halvpensionen var enkel och inte värd priset, om den ens serverades. Städerskorna gjorde ett bra jobb.

Gerne! Hier ist die grammatikalisch und stilistisch korrigierte Version deines Textes: Das Personal war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Der Strand ist etwas entfernt. Der zweite Stock befindet sich derzeit im Umbau. Ansonsten war alles in Ordnung.

The hotel is overall very good. The breakfast is varied and offers several options. I miss yogurt and some fresher alternatives, but that has been lacking throughout Africa during my trip. The menu offers a wide range of choices and is reasonably priced. There’s a gym that’s ok. The rooms are very fresh, with both AC and a fan. You get pretty much everything you need! We were here during the low season, so the price for a week was the best! For this standard, it was the cheapest in all of Nungwi.

Very Disappointing Stay

My experience at this hotel was very disappointing. The manager was not cordial or flexible at all when it came to my reservation — even a simple request for a change was met with a rude attitude. The Wi-Fi was terrible and barely worked during my entire stay, which made it very difficult to get anything done. On top of that, the shower had very weak water pressure, making it frustrating to use. Overall, I expected much better service and basic amenities. I definitely do not recommend this place.

Das Hotel liegt in einer ruhigen Lage. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Wir waren insgesamt 10 Tage dort. Das Essen im Hotel hat immer gut geschmeckt. Es sind ca 5 Minuten zu Fuß bis zum Meer. Alles in allem war es ein schöner und entspannter Aufenthalt im Canary Hotel. Vielen Dank für die schöne Zeit
