This hotel isn't the Hilton by any means but if you are looking for a safe, clean budget hotel this would be it. Didn't see any bugs (we've had issues in other tropical hotels) and the room was very clean!

In the heart of the City Centre

Beautiful and clean hotel in close proximity to the Ferry Terminal. I highly recommend especially if in transit to and fro Zanzibar. The staff are very friendly and very willing to help at any time. The rooms are also beautiful and super clean.
Naomi, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Was just fine for a night stay until catching the ferry to Zanzibar next day. Room was clean and comfortable enough. Nothing fancy but nothing to complain about, got a good night sleep which was all that was needed.

6/10 Good

Quick stay in DAR

Room was clean. Limited choice for breakfast but good for the price. Got charged for water at check out as hotel did not spicify what was/ not included as free. This spoilt the actual stay for us
