"A pleasant stay from the moment I was picked up from the airport until they dropped me off at the airport. The rooms were clean and the staff were friendly. Always my go to overnight stay when I am flying through Dar. "
"Room very clean. Air conditioning was a life saver. Very courteous staff. Great location. Would have liked instructions for how shower worked. Very good shower once learned how to get hot water. Great book store downstairs. Good shopping for souvenirs. Good restaurants. "
"This is a beautiful property and I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. But I almost reduced the number of stars in my review from 5 to 4 for one thing.
The breakfast each day is held on a covered patio outdoors. It could use a better variety of food, but the real issue was this: Flies. The food, except for the bread, is entirely uncovered and there were flies crawling all over it. One employee was half-heartedly trying occasionally to shoo them away, to no avail.
I realize this is Africa and perhaps health concerns are not the same as in the western world. But this situation quite frankly is disgusting. Flies transfer all sorts of bacteria and viruses from filth in the area and deposit it when they crawl all over food. No one in their right mind should be allowing flies to land of food that is going to be consumed.
I suggest the management address this immediately by keeping the buffet INDOORS and the food covered by dish covers and and cloths. This makes me wonder: If there is this little regard for health and sanitation at breakfast, what other dangerous and disgusting procedures are happening in the kitchen?
One last word: The staff at breakfast are exceedingly helpful....TOO helpful. I don't need to be interrupted 8 times at breakfast to be asked if I need anything. I don't need anyone to help me feed the toast through the toaster. Just back off a little, please."
"Excellent staff, great location but no pavements outside any of the hotels on the road. Great public spaces in the hotel. Great vibe on the roof but oool should close at 7 pm not 6 "
