Reviews and Ratings
Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms offered a beautiful verandah overlooking the garden on two different floors, providing a great view of Mt Meru, but unfortunately, the air conditioning was not working during my stay. The service could have been more welcoming and joyful overall, even though there were amenities like room service, dry cleaning, and housekeeping available. The location was convenient, near restaurants, and ideal for those exploring Tanzania on a safari. The dining experience was satisfactory with regional products. The facilities were good, but there were a few shortcomings worth noting.
