Amazing accommodation with very friendly staff
1-night trip

10/10

I have stayed for just a few hours however I have to admit I am positively surprised as I got afraid because of some reviews after I had booked but I found it perfect and would definitely recommend . The value for money is among the best I have experienced in DAR Es Salam so far
1-night trip

6/10

You have to leave the hotel, walk down through the parking garage, into the next block of flats, take the lift down 3 floors, walk trough some corridors and then you can find the pool. There is a lot of noice from traffic. The restaurant is also filled with music, television and sounds that make conversation difficult. For me, it was not worth it.

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.

Aura suites was a great respite from the noise, congestion and heat of Dar es Salaam. Great shower, bed, wi-Fi, tv, space. There was a safe in the room— very convenient. Nice supermarket next door. Really enjoyed our stay.

10/10

Very nice and spacious rooms. Restaurant at the rooftop was great for views and drinks. Food was just ok. Breakfast buffet was exceptional on the other end. Only tiny complain is the soap pumps in the bathrooms were rusty and not working. Housekeeping obviously knows and ignore! Please replace immediately! Staff super friendly! I would go back! Yes, I would recommend this place!

8/10

The place is quite nice and clean. Great views of the city too. There is a tendency of places like these in Dar-Es-Salaam not getting maintained with high standards which leaves to deterioration and resulting to look dated and broken. The AC in my first room had an issue which caused a fuse trip, i was moved to another room where the AC had water leaking which shows it hasn't been maintained. Overall, i would definitely come back IF this place remains as good as.
6-night trip

6/10

Hotel was very nice, as you would expect at the price. A peaceful place to end a hectic trip, and we had our room upgraded for free. Some issues though: 1. No pool. It is closed on Sundays (there was no warning of this), and when open is in a separate building. Same applies to the gym. 2. The kitchen was not stocked with the tools to cook anything. No saucepan, utensils, mainly just empty cupboards, some glasses, small plates and basic cutlery. 3. Breakfast was booked as included but we were told it wasn’t when we checked in. Had to get hotels.com to speak with them about this, which was time-consuming. When we got it, it was excelllent. 4. TVs in every room and none of them worked/were tuned. Usually wouldn’t care about this but we just needed to chill in Dar, and it’s a real basic.
