Very nice and clean property. The staff was very nice. There is not a free airport shuttle as it says on the hotel description. There is an outside company that they call which was good and it costs $10.

I was here for one night before returning back to Dar. It was a very easy check in process. The staff were helpful with the luggage and assisting me to my room. The first thing I noticed was how clean the property was. The room was gorgeous. They had all necessary amenities and we had a very quiet and calm night which was very much needed. It was also in a very convenient location, which gave us a little more time to sleep before leaving the next morning.

Just a basic airport hotel. Check in process took a long time, even though we arrived well after the noted check-in time. I had also pre-booked an airport shuttle through the hotel, but they had no record of it the next morning so we had to pay for a private taxi.

Staff was friendly and accommodating. Chose the hotel for proximity to airport since I had a 3am flight. (Walkable distance but not in the middle of the night) Their charge for the 3min drive was exorbitant, so I arranged on my own.

Disappointment

Outlets were not working when we came in the room the first time. Had to call maintenance to get them working. Coffee pot in the morning was not working either. Had to call the desk and get the instruction to find us switch all the wind back to turn on the outlet. Why not prepare the room for guest to arrive when it’s ready
