"The best thing one can say about the Colosseum as a hotel is it is reasonably priced. After that, its all downhill. I booked a specific kind of room at extra cost. I was given another, had to go back, show the booking, have it changed. My second morning there, they ran out of coffee at breakfast (and I was among the first there). Can you imagine? No coffee? The furnishings are ok, but old. Staff seem confused, but its a language issue. Tanzania is a swahili speaking country, which I respect. However, in a hotel where travelers come from a wide range of places, staff should be able to speak basic English. I asked for a fork and staff didn't understand me. I had to call the reception and ask for it from there.....I had a corner room on the first floor. I could hear the noise from the restaurant below and the shisha bar (until 1 am). From the room, you can see directly into the gym (and they can see directly into the room). Not great! I won't be back. Its convenience to my office doesn't compensate for poor service."
