The place was in the city centre and very easy to allocate. I had a very warm welcome from the lady Glory, who made sure I was comfortable with my stay. They also have good breakfast and a big gym with the city view. Definitely am coming back.

The rooftop has a wonderful view in all directions. At day time you can sit in the shadows to have some drinks. In the evening you can get a table. The food served is the same as in the restaurant of the 1st floor.

I booked a one-bedroom room with a kitchen. There are one-bedroom rooms with a kitchen and a room without a kitchen. Since there is a kitchen, breakfast is not booked. I don’t know about the breakfast situation, but the room can be quite big.
The hotel rooms are on the 9th to 12th floors of the building. The first floor is a Chinese restaurant and a restaurant, and the other floors should be office buildings.

The staff is friendly and supportive. It would be better to keep pork separate from other non-veg items it will please the halal looking customers. The room for a twin bed was quite small. They need to improve cleanliness as I saw 2 cockroaches. Location is great.

JJNB_82The resort was definitely much smaller than it appeared in the pictures, but it was very nice indeed. Beautiful clean white sand, a lovely relaxing vibe, and generally pleasant surroundings.
There is not much to do apart from swimming for my six-year-old, but that in itself was enjoyable. It was peak season, therefore it was a little bit crowded, however not to the point of total discomfort. The staff were pleasant and accommodating, and the restaurant food was mostly very tasty. Our one suggestion was well received, and likely to be rectified soonest.
Nice breakfast spread - included all the stations, but the hot food selection could be a little more exciting.
It would be great if the hotel itself could organize one or two activities. There was a volleyball and an attempt at a game the guests tried to pioneer which never quite happened. The rooms size is sufficient, nice big bed, my only complaint would be the fact that the fridge can be difficult to locate as it is very strangely positioned and hidden behind some panels.
The central air conditioning seemed to be off in certain places, so it was hot in the corridors, fortunately the room air conditioning works very well.
There isn't really anything in the way of fast food places and restaurants in close proximity, so only the hotel restaurant. This is fine for a few nights, but would probably get tedious for a longer stay. We enjoyed our stay overall, and would recommend and visit again!

GGuest UserA perfect choice for business trips! The location is great and transportation is convenient. The room is clean and tidy, the bedding is comfortable, and the Wi-Fi is stable, completely meeting both my work and rest needs. The front desk was quick to respond and provided professional service. Breakfast was convenient and nutritious, and the check-out process was efficient. No hidden issues at all, and great value for money. Highly recommend for business travelers!

AAlena fishA great hotel for a stay in Dar es Salaam. Beautiful terrace with a pool, delicious breakfast, very friendly staff (in the restaurant).
Comfortable bed, clean and fresh linens, comfortable lounge chairs by the pool.
Cons:
I called reception five times asking for a hairdryer, but they completely ignored me. They never brought one. Hairdryers are available in all rooms, though.
The reception staff is tired. Give them a break.
In room 805, the handle on the inside of the bathroom door is broken; you have to really try to close the door.
The shower is old and leaking and needs to be replaced. The shower head is also leaking, and the bathroom floor was covered in water.

JJNB_82To be fair, this hotel scores average because it is not a family friendly place Apart from having a swimming pool, there is absolutely nothing and nowhere for children. I was travelling with mine, so it was not the most comfortable experience.
We travelled and stayed over new year's eve, so perhaps that was the reason for much of the discomfort, but without going into too much unnecessary detail, it was noisy, extremely hot in the corridors, lots of mosquitoes ( my 6YO was bitten ), no nets, outdated bathroom, weak plumbing, shower takes a little while to heat up in the evening, just generally poor, and not what I expected from a 4 star rated hotel.
Staff were generally really pleasant, except for the one lady at breakfast who seemed totally unimpressed to have to engage with guests, but still insisted on doing so, then incorrectly served a dish to our table and proceeded to get snappy with us over HER mistake. Unprofessional and distasteful.
Gym is small, outdated, equipment well used and not fully functional.
Restaurant curry very tasty, huge dessert portions, breakfast spread sufficient, but coffee not hot, and had to wait for a chef from the kitchen to make scrambled eggs that took a good 20mins!
This hotel is not a place to expect luxury or exceptional comfort, but if a bed and a place to be close to banking and service centres is what you require, this place will serve it's purpose. Pool is a good size, very clean, and night view from the pool deck is pretty.

MMuiruriGot the poorest service ever. Having confirmed the bookings for 5 rooms and and arriving late only to be told I hadn't paid for all the rooms. Breakfast available for only few guests so one has wake very early to get breakfast. Very poor choice. There's actually nothing good to say about the service in this hotel. 2 out of 5.
