Iringa Sunset Hotel — Hotel in Iringa Region

Coming Home Again: Even better than I remembered!

My team stayed at the Sunset hotel last year and had a wonderful experience. Back again this year, Owner Baptista and his team greeted us like family! We were so happy to be "home".

The rooms: Fabulous! Big, light and airy. -- Comfortable big bed: love the high posts, netting and extra warm blankets for the chilly nights. -- Lots of space including chairs and a little love seat to kick back and relax. A desk to work. -- A universal power supply! WOOHOO! No converter needed to power up my phone and laptop. WOOHOO! -- Fair (not great) internet service -- but MUCH better than last year! -- Big bathroom. Plenty of hot water. Good water pressure. -- TV? REALLY? HBO and more English channels than our hotel in Dar. Nice! -- A space heater! Great way to get the chill out. -- Small room fridge! And a coffee/tea maker! Man, Baptista! You are the best! -- Bath amenities were sparse: soap only. Would be nice to get shampoo/conditioner, but a minor nit.

Terrace overlooking the city: Perfect venue for a drink after a long day and a chance to see the wonderful sunset over the city.

Great room/dining area: Perfect hang out for breakfast and diner. Also our gathering place to work as a team. -- Long tables with plenty of chairs. -- Staff is very helpful and accomodating: get drinks, power strips, coffee, whatever... -- Good wifi. Internet was usually good. There were some periods of outage, but nothing too long. Much more consistent than only a year ago and MUCH better than most other places we experienced.

Staff: Can not do enough for you! Very pleasant, helpful and willing. Always smiling and thoughtful. The guys would not let me carry my backpack! I never had to lug my bag anywhere, it was magically carried off.

Food: Pretty good. Service was fast and food was hot. I'm happy!

WIne: Every night, they had a bottle chilled and waiting for us. Life is good!

The Ambiance: That is the real differentior. The Sunset is special. It captures that unique gentle warmth of Tanzania and wraps it up in a bright bow. The improvements to the site and the amenities from last year to this year are indeed significant and impressive. But it is Baptista and his staff that will bring me back home again next year. We...

I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Iringa Sunset Hotel for a day, and it was a memorable experience. The hotel boasts the best views of Iringa town, and the sunset views are truly breathtaking. The staff were exceptionally warm and welcoming, making me feel right at home. The food was delightful, with a great selection of breakfast items that catered to all tastes.

The rooms were clean, well-decorated, and provided a comfortable retreat. I particularly appreciated the good Wi-Fi speed and the assistance with portable fire pots, which was a thoughtful touch given the chilly evening weather.

However, there were a few areas for improvement. The dinner service was notably slow, which could be frustrating for those with tight schedules. Additionally, the sunset deck was not as clean as one might hope, and the pool was closed after 6 pm, which limited evening relaxation options.

Despite these minor drawbacks, my overall experience at Iringa Sunset Hotel was excellent. The combination of stunning views, friendly service, and high-quality amenities makes it a place I would definitely recommend to anyone...

The terrace bar has a spectacular sunset view beginning at about 6:15 up to about 6:45pm (July). You can enjoy this beautiful sunset with a drink of your choice at the bar, and if you feel cold, there is a log fire or portable pot kettle fire brought to your table at your request.

The rooms are beautifully furnished in pure wood crafted skillfully to blend with the wooden architecture of the room cabins. You may want to note that the entire hotel setup is sitting on a series of boulder stones characteristic of Iringa hillside...but cleverly hoisted on sprawling wooden walkways , taking in natural vegetation and formal gardening approach to bring in that unique feel you can only find at the Sunset Hotel.

The accommodation is full b&b serving continental and local breakfast. The meals at the hotel, are prepared by skilled chefs who curate a wide range international and local menus, served and attended by humble and sharp Waiters.

The hotel has a warmed water swimming pool and a playground for children. It is a perfect place for a family or...
