The apartment is very homey and it has a stocked kitchen if you like to cook. The host Gloria is extremely helpful and kind always checking in and making sure you have a comfortable stay. It's quiet and close to shoppers plaza and if you get deliveries it is quite easy to explain to the rider. I'll definitely book here again and again!!

Great location close to airport for overnight stay between flights with affordable shuttle provided being a real plus. Super comfortable apartment, although electrical outage (no fault of hotel) affected water availability, wifi, a/c.

Absolute bargain in Dar-es-Salaam, best deal you can find by far. Nothing fancy but for 15$ all the basics are here, it’s very clean, AC works just fine, a nice shower with hot water, location is very central, the wifi is fast like in Europe, it’s safe and the staff is doing the job. That’s all but for such a cheap price in the heart of Dar there is no point paying more to sleep.

One of the cheapest hotels in Dar Es Salaam and for that price you get a basic but clean room and bathroom, airconditioning, TV, good wifi, a basic breakfast, a central location and above all I found the staff extremely helpful, polite and friendly. Even the manager came to say hello. Recommended for those on a budget!

The accommodation was as described (budget). The location was ideal for airport transit (10-15 min drive). The staff was friendly and helpful. The facilities were basic, but clean. The airport pick-up/drop-off worked as promised. Flexibility with check-in/out times. I am a returning guest.
