A well located facility alobg the CBD of the city within walking distance of several interesting places in luding restaurants and shopping outlets. The staff of the hotel are very friendly, polite and courteous. Excellent hospitality!
Staff were very helpful. The hotel charge for a car to the airport was very expensive compared to Uber

Upgraded my room to suite at very low price - very nice. The hotel is old and things starts to look old too. Been here many times and always enjoyed, because it's easy access to the area, friendly staff, good cleaning and the gym. But the gym is getting worn. Theres a pool, but its useless, because one has to go through the Gym to get there instead just out the hotel backdoor like it used to be. It means registration and walking through the reception, parking area and gym in slippers and shorts - and if you forget anything, then its back again. No service at the pool either necause theres no access for hotel staff. So no pool at the hotel, but next to it and thus it should be written so.
Coming back - not sure this time.
Having all facilities in one place. The check in time isn't favorable especially when you only have access to early flights. Improve on making sure everything is available in the room. Its absurd that one has to wait till noon to check-in, then when you get to, you have to follow up to get toiletries and still remind them eveyday to avail what was depleted.
Loved the unique restaurant, a blend of Asian and Western complete with Cherry Blossom! Food was perfect. The hotel decor and fittings have a Mediterranean feel to them.
This is my favorite hotel to stay in Dar. It is updated, has amazingly powerful, hot showers, great breakfast and a kind staff. Guests of the hotel can use the gym for free which offers incredible facilities and has a steam room and sauna.
My go-to place in Masaki. Mainly because of the gym for which I had access to as a hotel guest. My only recommendation is to ask for a room opposite the gym and restaurant as they tend to be loud.
The gym alone is reason to stay here. The room was nice but could use a comfy couch or love seat. The breakfast was complete as they addressed some of the bad reviews about it. I’ve actually canceled my reservation at my usual hotel and will stay here on my future trips to Dar.
