Too noisy. Especially next to the busy parking area.

The Menu was really limited and unreasonably priced. The Breakfast is very very poor, there were are no cereals and had highly limited options. The place was crowded with a lot of people who were booked at the Hotel. Allowing non residence into the facilities for a small fee is a total turn off for someone who has paid for privacy and comfort . The TV in the rooms had only access to Youtube, no DSTV, netflix or any other options.

We asked about late check-out becasue hotel confirmed that room will be empty and they dont wait for another guests for this room but they didn't agreed, even for some money we propose :(

The staff were very nervous, chasing us with bills, and it was irritating because then it took me half an hour to pay. Total chaos in reception. The pool needed more chemicals. Breakfast was appalling for the price of the room, as basic as it gets in any cheap guest house. It’s friendly, but totally misses the mark for the price. Having just stayed at a similar priced hotel in Paje, it was very disappointing.

Very long wait in the restaurant even though we were only customers. Food very average quality and quite expensive.

1. The chef and receptionist should know English if it’s to serve international guests 2. The breakfast is nothing an egg an two small sausages Dinner is served cold and I had to pay for wrong orders done due to language challenges I had paid for 5 nights but had to stay two nights and moved to an upmarket hotel for the 3 remaining nights It was not well and I discourage family trip especially if a foreigner and not understand Swahili

The restaurant service was not good. Waitress seemed upset to even be serving us. We often had to wait long and try to get attention for service even though it was not even busy at all. Many things on the menu were not available. No fresh fruit juice or seafood which in a beautiful coastal city like Dar es salaam should be available. We watched fisherman right in front on the beach sell fresh seafood to locals… yet there was none at the restaurant. The property grounds had trash around which can ruins the ambiance and feeling of being on holiday. Other guests were permitted to blast music and my father who was staying in the single bed room On the ground floor was bothered by the loud noise. Mind you we love music…

For the price you have to pay here, you can expect that the pool is reserved for hotel guests, but instead it was populated by masses of locals who may enter for a comparatively cheap price. So when we arrived and the following days, the pool was filled with sometimes more than twenty children, most of them very young and the same number of adults, some of them entering the pool on the sweaty street wear they came with. Another 40 people occupied all chairs and the three (!) sunbeds at the pool, even they took the chairs from our terrace. We expected the small hotel to be a quiet and comfortable place: it was the opposite. The garden consist of a large bar full of tables and mostly uncomfortable chairs. Though there are no guests, they played music which mixed with the music from outside beach bars, the whole night, morning, and day. We had two rooms: the so called "deluxe single" was so small, no table, no chair, no place to put a suitcase. The windows faced the overpopulated, noisy pool. The second room, offered with garden view was facing the parking, you had the feeling you could touch the car parking in front of the window from the bed. The house has a few chairs in front of the fence on the beach, mostly populated by people who do not belong to the hotel. When we wanted a soda while sitting there, the waiter refused to hand anything over the fence, so we left and found cheap and good food nearby with very nice service on the beach. The beach is beautiful, but on the weekend extremely crowded and noisy. There is a small fish market right in front of the hotel on the beach, bring the smell of fish all the time into the premises. The breakfast was terrible, the filter coffee machine only a decoration, the only coffee available were a few remaining crumbs of cheap instant coffee. Let guests pay the price of a local guest house (10 euro per night), that is your standard, and you will not have complaints!

The breakfast was covered in flies and there was not much selection for the price. It was very noisy you could hear other people running up and down the stairs. It was like staying in someone’s house.
