Run of the mill business hotel

Pretty good place and no complaints other than a request to have two rooms on the same floor was not addressed (starts dates a day off). Had made the request a while back and then again at check in. We saw other rooms be turned around on our floor but our elderly parents who checked in a day later still be on a different floor. I understand being fully booked, but there was absolutely no accommodation from the hotel.

Overall, an enjoyable stay.

I found the property to be a very good choice for accommodation in Dar Es Salaam. It’s well situated, a short ride or an easy walk, to most points of interest in the business district and ferry port, for those looking to access Zanzibar via ferry. The staff overall were quite welcoming and friendly, and I found the room to be comfortable, clean, and with adequate amenities. The onsite restaurant is quite decent as well. Plus, other eateries are within walking distance of the hotel. Overall, an enjoyable stay.
