Great staff - lovely and helpful. Location is very nice as you can have diner at a lot of different places just next to the hotel. (efficient for a business trip)
The location is perfect. However, If you are travveling to Dar foir a business trip and the internet in your room does not work well enough for online meeting, its is a big problem. hence, I had to sit in the crowded lobby for 4.5 hours while doing my meetings.

Great location! Right in the heart of the marina with great restaurants and shops. The rooms are also very comfortable and clean. The Gym is well-equipped and the staff were friendly.
Slightly noisy in the corridors towards the end of the day, but that's expected given it's around a shopping area with busy restaurants. That said, everything you need is in one place with high-quality restaurants and pubs.

Fair
Location. Close to lots of restaurants and shops
All rooms have green carpet that stinks badly. They also use this extremely strong air freshener to try and mask the smell but it only makes it worse. Even switching rooms didn’t make a difference but I really didn’t want to keep complaining. Breakfast offerings are limited, service is very slow and drinks served the bar are always warm.

Location is amazing especially for a solo traveler. Breakfast was okay, can be improved. Room service menu is very limited
The room I was initially allocated (Sea View) had a very bad smell (from the dirt carpet) looked very worn, honestly it made my 1st night miserable. I was moved to a standard room the next day after complaining. The standard rooms are renovated and much decent and comfortable, although smaller than the initial booked room. It is sad that you cannot walk or swim by the beach, it is just for the view.

The staff was amazing, and the alone issue was the shower water kept coming out and one room AC was not working, and we had to get people to come in and fix it several times which cause inconvenience.

Many options for restaurants and various shops. Market next door to hotel to buy gifts. Great breakfast and staff very friendly. Aircon in room worked well. Beautiful ocean view from balcony. South African plug point as well as universal. Bar fridge inside closet with water.
Room is a bit old but not too bad. Door handle was loose and made it difficult to open the door. No mosquito nets or spray.

Location is pretty good. In a seemingly safe part of the city, right "near the action" and with easy access to beaches.
Breakfast was solid, probably above average for a hotel.
There seemed to be quite a few power outages. The WiFi connection was slow at times and would disconnect a lot, didn't really seem reliable.

The location is excellent. The shops & restaurants are good. The transfer service is good quality.
The room was very dated and, whilst clean, it had an unfortunate sour/unclean smell.

Pleasant
The hotel itself and the staff were truly excellent — friendly, supportive, and attentive throughout our stay. The location is also outstanding, making it a convenient and pleasant choice for visitors.
However, our experience at the restaurant Terrace was disappointing. We started with a prawn and avocado appetizer, which unfortunately came drenched in a ketchup-mayonnaise-style dressing that overwhelmed the dish. The prawns were so overcooked they were almost inedible — chewing them felt like biting into a piece of rubber.
We then ordered the frutti di mare salad, which was equally underwhelming. None of the ingredients tasted fresh, and the overwhelming flavor of vinegar masked any potential seafood taste. The prawns in this dish were also overcooked or old just like in the starter.
What was most concerning, however, was our conversation with the waiter. His explanations suggested that the issues with the food stemmed from how it was handled in the kitchen, which raised concerns about the overall quality and hygiene practices/food safety.
It’s a real pity, as the rest of the hotel experience was excellent. We hope the restaurant can bring its standards up to match the quality of the rest of the establishment.
