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.
My stay at the hotel was truly a mixed experience. The room had a beautiful verandah overlooking the garden with a scenic view from the window, although the air conditioning was not working properly. The service could have been more friendly and joyful, despite offering various amenities. The location, nestled in a wonderful garden, was truly serene, but there were a few drawbacks. The dining experience, while including pasta, left me wanting more variety. The facilities were decent, but some aspects needed improvement.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel, with a breathtaking view of Mt Meru from the verandah in the garden rooms. The service was good overall, but could be more welcoming. The location was perfect, near restaurants and surrounded by a beautiful garden. The organic fruits offered at dining were a lovely touch to the experience.
I had a lovely stay at the hotel with a single bed room offering a great view of Mt Meru. The service was good, but it could use a bit more friendliness. The location, although not in the center of town, was perfect for my safari in Tanzania. The dining experience with gourmet pizzas was included and enjoyable.
The hotel offers beautiful views, but my room's air conditioning was not working. I enjoyed having a verandah overlooking the garden. The staff could be more cheerful and welcoming in their service. The location is convenient, close to the city center. The dining experience was pleasant with tasty pies. The facilities were good overall.
