"A very short stay"
The room certainly met our expectations, and after a quick shower we fell asleep without dining. We enjoyed the included breakfast buffet and left the hotel by 7:30 a.m. so had no time to utilize its facilities. We wished that there had been a comparable hotel nearer the airport, but apparently this is the best option even for a short stay." See all these reviews: 10n in Tanzania; 7n in Kenya

"A large international-standard hotel."
The food was disappointing and expensive and some of the lights in our room were not working. Early morning room service breakfast was prompt and good for an early morning departure." See all these reviews: 14n in Tanzania
