Flomi Hotel Limited — Hotel in Morogoro Region

Flomi sits on a low ridge and the views towards the mountains are stunning, so try and get a room on that side if possible. Oddly, there is no rooftop bar or restaurant. The restaurant is on the 1st floor and feels like a school canteen - large, open and plain. There is a balcony but it overlooks an electricity sub-station. I didn't find a bar though perhaps there is one somewhere. My room was good, the AC worked, so did all the lights, the wifi was OK. I didn't try the TV. The bathroom was strange as the door didn't fit so it bashed into the WV when opened. Just poorly planned and built. The Chinese shower had low pressure (4th floor) and never got hot, even after 10 mins. The staff at the desk were sullen. No smiles here! Other staff were pleasant though - baggage person and waitress in the restaurant were friendly. I have stayed here before and was equally unimpressed with the reception staff. Surely the first thing the owner would do is ensure his customers get a friendly welcome?? The food is standard fried and boiled fare. Breakfast was better than usual I would say - I enjoyed the oat porridge, pancakes and spanish omelette. A decent selection. But, as ever, no coffee except Africafé (which is not coffee!). The price was 25% higher than another hotel which I have reviewed, and which I classified with 5 stars not 3. I think they run a lot of workshops here and operate on quantity over quality. No real character to the place. You will sleep well here and you will get a solid dinner and breakfast. But you won't fall in love...

Flomi Hotel is a no-nonsense business hotel. I stayed for one night while I came to attend a meeting in Morogoro, and it was quite good. The check-in and check out process was smooth, and they gave us TRA receipts for everything. There were multiple room options (ranging from TZS 80k - TZS 180k for standard double rooms), although I wasn't sure what the difference was (I took a mid-point option of TZS 120k, as a result!).

I stayed on the second floor, and the room was nice and clean. A staff member personally came to check if I was happy with the cleanliness, too. The rooms are quite spacious with a work table also. I'd have liked it if there was at least one power socket, which was a universal plug point in the room (my laptop and phone chargers are not the UK/Tanzanian standard plug points). I had to struggle with optimising my laptop battery during the trip.

Sadly, the WiFi was terrible. Although I could connect occasionally, the signal was weak and speed was slow (couldn't take meeting calls) and had to rely on my mobile hotspot almost throughout.

The breakfast was nice with options of Tanzanian and continental (the latter being mostly bread, eggs, and cereals).

Overall, it's a slightly pricey option for a business hotel, but it does...
