Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Hotel was nice and in close proximity to airport. Airport transfer is offered too but I did not have a good experience with the driver who came to pick me up at the airport and communication with staff was not great. I was referred to 2 other people before reaching the actual driver who picked me up 1 hour later, after a long journey. It was very upsetting. There is a restaurant at the hotel but good took over an hour to be served even though we order simple food. Overall, I would recommend the hotel if in Dar es Salaam for a day while waiting for next flight due to very close proximity to airport but none more.

The hotel is very convenient for the airport and is a good option if you just want a bed for the night. Rooms are simple but clean. Staff were helpful with my luggage as there wasn’t an elevator. Free transport to and from the airport was excellent.

Staff was very helpful and the airport shuttle in the middle of the night was the main reason i booked here. Definitely a great value if you have a very short layover.

For the price, it did not disappoint. I just needed a place near the airport that offered free airport shuttle and breakfast, and this place met expectations. My room was clean and comfortable. Staff was very pleasant, and I would go back

Just what you need for a transit stop over. Great location, friendly staff, nice beds. Maybe throw in some earplugs as there's some traffic noise but hey, that's just Dar for you

Good options for a Dar airport overnight stay. Comfy bed. Good service. Late check in at midnight, early check out at 4am. Only option close to the airport so it worked.
