New Dodoma Hotel

This hotel is fine, though it did get a bit loud one evening (though the other 5 nights I was there were fine). The beds are good and the lighting in the room is nice. It would have been great if the cappucino place opened before 11 AM! In fact, that "Italian" restaurant in the hotel was a big disappointment to us. I ordered a minestrone soup there and they gave me a small bowl for $12000 KSH, which is quadruple the price it should have been (plus the soup had no flavor). The food in the continental/Indian restaurant was fine, though.

This hotel represents an extensive extension and refurbishment of the old Dodoma hotel, a handsome relic of colonial days. The internal courtyard is beautifully planted and the rooms are of a reasonable size and well appointed. There is a swimming pool. While we were there the restaurant facilities were under rebuilding, so the full menu was not available, and what was on offer was not very exciting. The Italian room was not open, but the Chinese restaurant served excellent food.
