We were never able to even find this hotel to check into! We messaged and called multiple times and never heard back from them - phone calls were never even answered. After riding around in a Uber for an hour, we gave up and booked a different place to stay!

Great stay close to the Kilimanjaro airport.

Very friendly manager who went out of the way to make our stay comfortable. Great breakfast. Beds a bit too tough to our taste.

Billigt och bra boende för en natt eller två!

Vi bodde här en natt efter kommit ifrån Zanzibar, dom klassar sig som flygplanshotell men det tar ca 10-15 min till flygplatsen, närområdet är lite speciellt men dom stänger stora grindar och allt känns jättesäkert, fin innergård och stora rum och bekväma sängar , dessutom billigt jämnfört med närmare flygplatsen , dom hade transfersevice med en stor fin bil, billigt ca10 dollar till flygplatsen, frukost sådär som övriga ställen om man inte väljer 4 stjärniga hotell.

Terrible :(

I was flying out Dar es Salaam at 4 o clock in the morning. So the lady in the reception offered, that I can have my breakfast at 10PM or 1AM, just before leaving. I decided and confirmed on that 1AM option. But when I got up, there was no one at the desk, nor the information about the breakfast. THE GATE WAS CLOSED and I needed to run through the reception desk to find the key and get free to meet my Uber driver!!! Also - in the satelite TV there was only one channel. All of them was "not in the payed option", not mentioning batteries in the remotes. But the lady told me, it was the problem with morning rain.. If you are expecting professional service, don't look there.
