Stayed there for a couple nights that we were in Dar Es Salaam while travelling around Tanzania. The hotel itself is fine, but there are some things that were really annoying and I'd look for a different place if I was to go to Dar for the next time.||||The hotel itself is clean and the stuff is friendly. The rooms are fine, with a great view on the city, the beds are comfortable. The problem starts with the bathroom. You can tell that the towels are clean (and they were changed daily) but they're pretty old which shows. The water pressure is near nonexistent and water rather drips than flows in the shower.

Area is also extremely loud at all hours and even 8 floors up it sounds as if you are on street level...
Read moreThe receptionist had NO customer care at all, they were moody and very resistant to respond to the guests requests. The rooms were not clean at all filled with cockroaches. The bathrooms were dirty the moment we checked in, we had to ask the receptionist to have them cleaned but were still dirty once we got back to the room hours later. The walls of the room were filled with fungus to the point the room had a strong musty odor. To top it all off the showers had no hot water, once asked the receptionist said " hot water is always there".
