I had an excellent stay, staff at the reception and restaurant are amazing. Breakfast prefect. Gym opens early which is great. Rooms are comfortable and spacious but now looking a bit old. Rooms need to be renovated with a new modern look. The bathroom has a step that can be dangerous. Looking forward to my next visit.

Worth the money.

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.

My new go-to hotel in Dar

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.
