"Royal Palm Hotel review"

2 nights Arrived 10 Feb 2008
"The Royal Palm Hotel was a very good quality hotel. It is a quality four star establishment with comfortable rooms, everything worked (except a couple of lights), the restaurants are good (the Italian was excellent), the pool/bar/gardens are good and the staff were helpful.

The Business Centre, especially access to Internet, could perhaps review its hours. Travelling people often need to use the internet outside of standard business hours." See all these reviews: 14n in Tanzania

"A last night stop-over"

1 night Arrived 15 Sep 2007
"We didn't really have much time in the Royal Palm, so difficult to comment.

The room was large and clean and the service good. We didn't eat at the hotel, so can't comment on that.

It was fine for a last night stop-off and very handy for the proximity to the airport (15 minutes in a taxi)" See all these reviews: 9n in Mozambique; 7n in Tanzania
