The good points of this hotel are: its proximity to the Scandinavian Bus terminal--10 minutes on foot--and its hot water. Not two degrees warmer than the cold, not lukewarm, not a mere trickle. A full hot stream. For the first time in three weeks we had a real hot shower.The room is the standard hotel room: two separate beds of which one is a narrow double, mosquito nets without holes, but too small to be of any use as they did not fit round the bed, were more like a straitjacket, television with an inside aerial unable to receive any programme, a noisily humming fridge, empty, a fan and air-conditioning which had difficulty in fighting the heat. The room faces south and gets very hot in the afternoon. It smells of camphor balls, repellent against insects.
Our room is in the new wing, Tsh 20.000 (20 euros), but the newness must have been some time ago. There is also an old wing with rooms at Tsh15.000 (15 euros). Breakfast consists of two boiled eggs, three slices of toast, a very tiny dollop of jam and spiced tea. It was served in the dining room / restaurant, a very dark place which had been closed for dinner the preceding evening. This a bit of a disadvantage because Dar es Salaam is not the place to wander about at night in search of a restaurant.
I think Keys Hotel (see my entry about it) at the same price is a far better value for the money.
