I really like the property and rooms, the pics online dont do it justice. The beds are so firm, next long trip in dar es salaam, I will book for the bed alone.
Pleasant surprise room 410 has a great view of the neighborhood and the sunset is ROMANTIC. I love the spacious bathroom with a window. The balcony is cute as well. Its a small room but if you typically just use the room to wind down and sleep, it works perfect. I wasn't able to try the restaurants and breakfast. The marble floors...
