Guest Reviews

• Ruth (1/5): Torn beddings, misaligned curtains, a dirty mirror, no WiFi and TV. No breakfast as the claim,Old! - Location. Located near eateries and the local market. Everything else.
• Aliane (1/5): Je n’y ai pas séjourné, car dès le premier soir il y a eu un souci avec la robinetterie qui ne voulait plus s’arrêter et - Rien Le personnel n’est pas dû agréable et sy’urtout ne se sentait pas concerner par les problèmes survenus dans la chambre
• Dorcas (2/5): -

• MOHAMED CHAKIR (1/5): - No thing at all, Tv no working phone no working with bad internet connection
• Adewale (8/5): - Was close to most amenities and food halls plus easy accesss to the airport
• Mhiliwa (1/5): - Nothing, the facilities are old and bathroom water is not moving, so dirty All of their services, in fact they charged me twice instead as I paid online and the collected my cash and their contact number is not reachable to request my refund. Please assist me with my return.
• Debasis (2/5): -
• siachigale (1/5): With immediate effect I recommend the hotel be removed on booking.com - Nothing good. Pictures do not portray how the poor the stand is. Rooms smelling like a brothel. I was over charged, no blanket and hotel very dilapidated Everything about the hotel is useless. It's a scam to let people reserve rooms online. That's not a hotel but a brothel
• Nzagi (6/5): - 1.Liked hot water only. 2. Enough space 1. Pleasant Rooms compared to charges. Poor quality of rooms including its facilities. 2.
• Twibaze (7/5): Good - Value for money Cleanless
• Abdifatah (1/5): Bad -
• Ritva (2/5): Hotel Ideal, Dar es Salaam, Tansania - Yövyimme hotellissa vain yhden yön varatun ja maksetun 4 yön sijaan. Paikka on todella huonokuntoinen, ränsistynyt, likainen, aamiainen ala-arvoinen: ei kahvia, ei maitoa, pieni munakkaan palanen ja paahtoleipä. Ravintolassa ei ole ruokalistaa ollenkaan. Ainoa hyvä asia oli hyvä ruoka! Ravintola keskittyy kaljan juomiseen, aivan liian meluinen paikka. Vastaava mieshenkilö oli koko illan ravintolassa asiakkaiden kanssa ja selvästi juopunut. Sänky myös ala- arvoinen, vanha patja. Pakko oli muuttaa yhden yön jälkeen pois. Aina mainoksissa luvataan paljon enemmän kuin paikan päältä löytyy, esim. pyykinpesutilat! Huonekalut risaisia ja likaisia. Puhelin huoneessa ilman johtoa ja hyvin pienestä tv: tä näkyi vain yksi kanava, jonka joku oli jossain valinnut ja sekin aivan hämärästi.
• Mbaraka (1/5): Bad -
• Sundai (1/5): Bad -
• Nyoka (1/5): It’s better to stay at the guest - I didn’t like the furniture and the service Nothing
• Daphne (4/5): - Very noisy hotel at night with revellers drinking in the bar. Some come in from outside the hotel. Loud banging sound on guests door late in the night. Felt very unsafe. Breakfast is abysmal. And the cleaners stole my perfume too so one wouldnt leave any personal items in the open. Why would i be forced to move aroumd with my personal items for fear of being stolen? I would strongly not recommend this hotel to anyone. Food was cheap tho. And some members of staff are okay but not all especially the Chef and cleaners.

• MOSES (6/5): - Hotel was in the heart of the City. Nice place with good view. But Dirty cleaners were not doing a good job in terms of cleaning. Staffs need to learn about customer service. They need to be friendly and kind. No hot water in the hotel even if I called and asked if they had hot water. Door nob and sink into the toilet was full of dust. Toilet were not cleaned properly.

• Paco (2/5): Very dirty and staff not polite - Nothing. Hotel id old and very dirty. Staff IS not polite The higiene level, witch IS very bad; It feels they don't clean everyday. Mirror in the bathroom was very dirty and WC and shower too. Towels are not posible to use for dirty
• Anonymous (9/5): Superb -
• De (6/5): Pleasant - For the price, some of the cheapest accommodation in Dar es Salaam it was value for money. It also has a great location. The place was really quite clean inside the rooms though the rest of the hotel was not. When entering the hotel you must first walk through what seems like a bar with so many men everyday watching you while drinking. This is uncomfortable especially with a woman. The staff were quite rude and insisted we pay a different price than we booked for, they told us and wanted us to pay their Booking.com fee for our rooms which was unacceptable.
• Pauline (1/5): Bad - Nothing
• Sara (6/5): Location great, staff really nice. Very good a/c and hot water. - Very good a/c, fan and hot water. Location great. With some little maintenence bathroom would be perfect.
• Jan (1/5): A disaster. Stay away. - The location was good. Dreary,sleazy, disgusting.
• Mambu (2/5): Very poor - N/o N/
• Salih (3/5): Poor - Almost there are some items mentioned on the website not included.
• Albertine (7/5): Good -
• Gary (1/5): Bad - Not much It wasn’t clean
• Jamal (1/5): Bad -
• Ibrahim (6/5): Pleasant -
• Keneth (1/5): Bad - The bed, They ought to advise on the booking pricing.. The dollar exchange id at 2500tzsh but they charge at 2700tzsh... And additional charge not indicated on the booking.com.. No wifi as indicated on they page. Worst breakfast ever.
• Joseph (8/5): Very good -
• Richardt (10/5): Exceptional - Everything was what they promised it to be. We are coming back for Christmas and new year. Asante sana for hospitality and nice people. And the manager and the staff are very helpful and good people. Best Richardt and Melissa Nothing to complain about.😀
• Kingport (4/5): Disappointing -
• Muhsin (5/5): One day - Am sorry to say this there nothing to like maybe bed the was no phone in the room tv without remote which also Defekt no Wi-Fi no hot water. at the same day I decided to look for another hotel. The room
• Pauline (5/5): Passable -
• Steven (8/5): The rooms are comfy for a private stay though - I loved the air conditioning system of the room, I was also in love with the cleanliness too. I didn't like the old facilities in the room, plus the bed sheets are worn out and needed a replacement.
• Mbogger (8/5): Good - Location Price changes
• Phil (3/5): the most disappointing experience after 30 days in east Africa. - the reception staff was trying to help. if not for her we would have left. They would not honour the price listed on Booking.com Spoke to "Fred" the boss about the pricing and he tried many ways to get "money" - Booking.com exchange rate is wrong, Booking.com did not include tax (on the booking it showed it did)
• Fatuma (1/5): It wasn’t comfortable - The room I slept in reeked pretty bad inside the washroom making the whole room being unpleasant. Enough cleaning needs to be done around there but I guess it’s also cause I paid for the cheapest room.. Never the less, your place needs to be comfortable for clients!
• Fadhili (3/5): Poor -
• Remmy (9/5): Superb -
• Remmy (9/5): Superb -
• Hafidh (9/5): Superb -
• Komborerai (3/5): Disappointed - The location is good and the staff The facility was really dirty, and there was no internet connection at all,yet they mentioned it on Booking.com, which is not fair. Lying is not good. I even asked for cleaning the second day while l was outside, but it didn't help.
• Lulu (1/5): Bad - Nothing Toilet was not clean, no towel in a room bad smell
• Olaisen (3/5): It’s not too bad, but low standard. No wifi, can only pay by card. - The staff helped me to find an ATM, and they subtracted the withdrawal fee from the room cost. The guests in the restaurant/bar area were helpful and social. There was no wifi, I couldn’t pay by card, and the aircondition didn’t work. The staff were unable to tell me where to find data or wifi. Somewhat dirty in the room and there was no toilet paper. Also, it was cheaper to buy in person (not through booking.com). I had to pay 45000 TSH but I saw in the check-in book that others had paid 10000-20000. Woke up at 4.50 due to a long call to prayer from a mosque.
• Thomas (1/5): You get what you pay for. The only thing missing was Basil Fawlty. - Air con worked so did lights. Bed fair No hot water. Bulbs missing. No useable wi fi
• Liefde (6/5): Pleasant -
• Pravin (8/5): Very good -
• Maplach (4/5): it was such a bed experience in that hotel all together. - The location is good, everything is around that area There is a bar just before you get to the reception, my wife and daughters were constantly sexually harassed by drunkards,this hotel is good for people who don’t care about personal decency, even if you complain to the management nothing can be done, because that hotel rooms are mostly for short time sessions, there is a lot of prostitution activity during the night.most rooms are turned to brothel at night.On checking out, a lady receptionist cheated my wife and charged her more money.
• Tionge (1/5): I didn’t enjoy my stay - nothing, everything was bad they don’t clean at all, everything was extremely dirty
• Mohamedy111 (10/5): Exceptional -
• Vaazil (1/5): Avoid unless necessary - Location 1.toilet not clean, it was leaking and I reported to reception 2. No wifi, just putting on the list 3.poor breakfast, 3 non toasted bread and single egg omlette 4.mattress is so thin can feel wood .
• Haitham (3/5): One of the worst hotels in Tanzania. - In a middle of the city One of the worst hotels or places to stay in Tanzania..honestly, I would not advise anyone to book with them..even though it was the second visit. I contacted them before booking and confirming the negatives that I found on my first visit..they assured me that everything changed for the better, but unfortunately it changed For the worst..I have pictures as proof of how bad this place is..I am sad that I trusted them and booked with them for the second time.
• Verified traveler (4/5): Below average hotel - Several issues with my room, most important being no hot water or wifi as they have stated in their ad. They also say they have an airport shuttle for 15USD each way, that is incorrect as the guy changed his mind and charged me 25USD. Would never recommend this hotel, you're better off paying an extra $5 somewhere else.
• AndrewL (2/5): - Terrible, Management clear stole from me. Never book this hotel
• Gerald (6/5): - it was average i was not expecting what i find,i was thinking it is a three start hotel or something better but not.It is good for the backpackers or those that travel for months away from home.The location is ok within the CBD. The food is also good.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - They have enough facilities for spending comfortable. Good cost performance and enough service.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Nice place to stay - The shuttle waited patiently for us while we bought our visa and waited to get our luggage at the airport. The staff were friendly and helpful. The bed was comfortable and the room was clean. Breakfast was great.
