Hotel Raha Tower — Hotel in Dar es-Salaam

Booked and stayed in the hotel only because another colleague coming from SA was staying there. Landed at 3 in the morning, the hotel had arranged as requested a taxi to wait for me at the airport. Arrived in front of the hotel building, I realise that the hotel is on the 5th floor of some office building.. There were 2 people at the reception waiting for me, checkin, then going to the room.. I open the door, and then I say its clean at least and its only 3 nights.. ||||There is nothing fancy in the room, but I repeat it is clean. There was a double bed, sofa, large bathroom. A very powerfull AC, a ceiling fan, a small refrigerator.. Wifi was good for checking emails, even going on websites.. The only problem was the tap water, as there was no cold water, so you had to wash your hands at the shower, or really fast using the hot water part.. Decoration... See the pictures...||||There is a breakfast / restaurant area. There is a small buffet with some local food, and there is boiled eggs, and you can ask for an omelete. Coffee is only instant and it was terrible.. therefore I only had breakfast once there, the other days, I would eat something in the city where i could also enjoy a cappucino.. ||||All the people working at the hotel, were very friendly and there to assist you all the time, area seemed safe .. There were also some security guards at the entrance of the building.||||My South African colleague complained that the room had tobacco smell, and the window frame had some space from the wall, so he could hear the street noise.. ||||So to conclude.... For the value that i paid, i think it was a very good hotel.. Since however I think i can afford something more, I will prefer to stay in a more International type of hotel...
