Accommodation
Hotel has a great locationin the centre of Arusha but is a little dated.
Fabulous views and really peaceful. Only stayed one night but would have happily stayed longer.
Fabulous location. It was quiet when we were there which suited us. Good food and excellent service. Fantastic room overlooking the crater.
Amazing location. Good food and excellent service.
A good location in Stonetown. Hotel is clean, but service is a little slow, but a good choice in a challenging location!
We used the hotel as a stop-over on the return journey from Zanzibar to the airport for the BA flight. Our rooms were small and the shower room was shabby. The only redeeming feature of the location was the Terrace restaurant at the Slipway which was excellent. I suspect that there are few other options in Dar!
Fabulous location. We had the accommodation with the two ensuite bedrooms. Private plunge pool overlooking the sea. The gardens are immaculate. Bar/eating area is outstanding and the food is excellent. Now next to a five star hotel which has a pier built into the ocean so that you can walk there in one minute for a drink. We would not have wished to stay at any of the other locations on this stretch of beach.
