Close to the airport and free 24-hour shuttle service. Lots of very friendly and helpful staff. Deluxe room includes free breakfast buffet with extensive choices and cooked-to-order eggs. Free wi-fi. There are meeting rooms and exercise equipment on site, though we used neither.

6/10

The hotel room was spacious and clean - and not too far from the airport. The staff was friendly. Unfortunately, my airport transfer from the airport did not show (in spite of two confirmations). While this is not the fault of the hotel at all - there is extensive road construction which makes the entrance very difficult to access.

We were not here very long unfortunately as we arrived late on one flight and had a flight out early the next morning. The hotel is close to the airport. The shuttle was easy to arrange and a friendly driver picked us up promptly. Our room was beautiful, clean and large. The reception staff were exceptionally friendly and spoke excellent English. Highly recommend this hotel especially if you want to be close to the airport.

10/10

Huge clean room, comfortable bed, very nice a/c, nice buffet breakfast with good coffee. Very good value. So close to the airport. Only addition would be a hair dryer, but certainly not a deal breaker. There is ongoing construction on the main road (7/24) which adds a little to the time travel to and from and the noise - also, not a deal breaker.

Conveniently located near the airport. Easy to arrange airport pickup and transfer. Felt safe as a solo female traveller.

If you leave money in your bags and step out of your room, expect to be robbed. From my repeated visits to Tanzania, I've learned to carry all valuables with me at all times. I also photograph my bags before leaving the room to monitor whether anything has been disturbed. At this particular hotel, the staff proved to be untrustworthy. I deliberately positioned a luggage tag on the right side of my suitcase and placed my backpack against the wall. Both were clearly opened while I was away, but since I hadn’t left any cash inside, nothing was taken. It's deeply troubling how frequently theft occurs, and how little integrity is shown in such establishments. In Tanzania, the penalty for theft can be 5 to 7 years in prison. Incidents like this make it clear that serious action should be taken—starting with holding hotel staff accountable.
