The check-in process was 24 hours as I arrived late at night. The concierge was friendly and the suite rooms are very clean, good water pressure, and modern. The A/C also worked wonderful. Would recommend to anyone.

This was a great location with a nice apartment style room. The staff was very friendly and helpful during check in and with local information around the location. The restaurant was good for both breakfast and dinner, the rooftop view of Dar Es Salaam was a great way to spend our first night there.
