Hotel Nelly' s est il vraiment un 3 étoiles?

Le personnel était très gentils mais service service décevant: pas d’électricité pendant plusieurs jours.; les sanitaires : minuscules filet d'eau obligé d'attendre plusieurs minutes pour remplir sceau d'eau pour évacuation WC , d’où douche donc impossible. Ces problèmes sont ils exceptionnels, ou récurrent, ? Sur 7 jours de location 4 jours d'enfer; mon correspondant africain m'a cédé sa chambre qui était dans un autre hôtel et a pris ma chambre pour les 3 jours restant.

Hôtel proche d'une très belle plage

Bonne hôtel, par contre loin du centre ville et loin de l'aéroport, du coup budget taxi élevée , et surtout le soir rien a faire des 22h un petit bar de nuit et plus de restaurant qui servent à partir de 23h00. Si de passage à dar es salaam préférerez un hôtel dans le centre, pour la détente et le calme choisissez nelly's

Decent

I'm a single woman traveler and I didn't mind staying at Nelly's, but for no longer than 1 night or 2. It's safe and in a good neighborhood in Dar but I still wouldn't venture out on my own after dark. The hotel did send along someone to accompany me when I wanted to walk the beach however, and were looking out for me and my safety. The hotel condition itself is decent, I didnt see any bugs or rodents. But the beds are terribly uncomfortable.

Please avoid this hotel!

On my first night, while eating in the hotel restaurant, an unknown thief entered my locked room and stole my laptop computer that I had locked in the wardrobe. He relocked everything on the way out. Another guest who was off the premises at the time had the exact same experience. The fact that a duplicate or master key was involved suggests the complicity of someone on the staff. Police reports were made, but neither stolen item has yet been recovered. The main problem is the locks on the room doors are the cheapest single-action locks available, with very easily duplicated keys. Unless and until the locks are upgraded on all the rooms, please avoid this place! Nothing much to recommend it anyway, rather claustrophobic compund and rooms, usual plumbing problems (no cistern cover or seat on toilet, basin waste pipe leaking etc). Can do very much better elsewhere for the same low price, and nearer to town also (e.g. Akana Lodge)
