Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers a great location for business, particularly around Mikocheni, but the room conditions left much to be desired. While the staff members showed friendliness, my payment interaction was quite negative. The breakfast options were unappealing, and I found the overall experience lacking quality, especially considering the moldy smell in the room and slow internet. There's potential here, but it needs significant improvements.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The location is convenient for business, and the staff were mostly friendly and helpful. However, the rooms had a moldy smell and the internet was quite slow, which was disappointing. On top of that, the dining experience could really use some improvement.
The hotel has a great location, especially if you're working around Mikocheni and Masaki. The rooms are quite large, but unfortunately, they had a moldy smell which made it uncomfortable to stay in without keeping the windows open. The service was a mixed bag; while some staff were very helpful, there were a few who were less enthusiastic. The dining options left much to be desired, and the internet connectivity was quite slow, which was disappointing.
I stayed at this hotel mainly for its location, which was close to where I was doing business. The rooms were clean and well-maintained, featuring a lovely balcony and smart TV that made it hard to leave. However, the service could use significant improvement, especially with food delivery times and staff interactions. For $100, it felt like the value wasn’t quite there, especially with the dining options being limited and not very enjoyable.
The hotel is located in a great area, which made it easy for me to access my meetings and explore a bit. The rooms are quite spacious and having a kitchenette was a huge plus for my longer stay. The staff was friendly, but I did notice the service was a bit slow at times. Overall, it felt like a decent value, but improvements in dining options and service speed would really enhance the experience.
I had a decent stay at this hotel, which offered spacious rooms and a convenient location for my work in the Msasani region. However, the service left much to be desired, with unhelpful staff, and the breakfast options were quite unappetizing. On the plus side, the value for money was reasonable considering the amenities available, like a pool and free Wi-Fi.
I had a great stay at the hotel - it offered a spacious layout with a comfortable king size bed and a kitchenette, making it an excellent base for my conference. The staff were very friendly and accommodating, but the service at the restaurant could have been quicker. The location was convenient, though we did experience some flooding outside during my stay. Overall, it's a decent place for the price, but be prepared for some delays in dining.
I had a decent stay at the hotel, which offered a very spacious room with basic amenities, including a kitchenette. The staff was friendly, but they could improve their communication skills, especially regarding wait times for food orders. The location was convenient, close to a shopping plaza and Coco Beach, though there were some maintenance issues with flooding. Overall, I found it to be good value for money, but improvements in service and dining could really elevate the experience.
The hotel had a spacious room that was perfect for my travels, complete with a kitchenette and a flat-screen TV. The location was ideal for my work in the Msasani region, but the service was a bit of a letdown. The dining options left much to be desired, with a repetitive breakfast that wasn’t very appetizing. Overall, it's a decent stay if you prioritize space and location over gourmet meals and attentive staff.
I stayed at the hotel primarily for business and found it to have a decent location, but the overall experience was lacking. The rooms were quite spacious and offered basic amenities, which was a plus, yet the service left much to be desired with rude staff interactions. Additionally, while there were some facilities like a gym, the dining options were pretty unappetizing. Overall, it’s not the best value for the price, especially with the service issues I encountered.
