- Very good location.. We arrived in the afternoon and flew out the next morning. Being less than 10 minutes from the airport was perfect for us. - Clean and comfortable room. - Staff were great, particularly the guy at reception. - We ate in the night we stayed there. The food was really good, exceeded expectations. - They made sure breakfast was available for our early departure. - Shuttle service is a definite plus.

- We didn't connect with the shuttle driver on arrival. Couldn't see our name or the lodge name held by anyone when we exited the arrival hall. - Apart from that it was all good.

I always choose this property when arriving or departing from Dar, as it's very safe and convenient near the airport. The staff is exceptionally friendly and accommodating. The shuttle is always reliable, regardless how late or early to/from the airport. The driver is wonderful; I look forward to his smiling greeting. The rooms are cozy - not luxurious - and clean, with ceiling fan, A/C, desk, telephone and TV. When I've had breakfast, it was carefully prepared and filling. I've recommended this property to colleagues who aren't planning a lengthy stay in Dar - or who are seeking a consistently good, value-priced hotel, and don't need a lot of extra amenities.

Nothing that the hotel can change - the road construction around the airport never seems to end. Therefore, the approach to the hotel is torn up and unattractive. Don't let this discourage you. Once you're inside the gates, the hotel is welcoming and uncomplicated.

it was great to be met at the airport by out shuttle driver who was very helpful and respectful. At check in we received a very warm welcome and our bags were carried to our room. the room was spacious, in excellent condition, , very clean, and had everything we needed including wifi , air-conditioning and a fan. the bathroom was excellent. the building was gated and had security which is important in Dar. our complimentary shuttle in the early morning back to the airport was on time and very comfortable. this is a very good, safe, friendly, value for money airport stopover place.

there was quite alot of street noise and the plans flying over but a good pair of earplugs solved this problem.

You get what you need. A hotel right near the airport which offers pick up and drop off. Very convenient for resting between long transits. No elevator so a bit struggle if you have many bags. Staff very friendly and welcoming. We had dinner and it was really good (local menu). Price very good for the amount of food served. We skipped breakfast because of our very early flight. AC worked great in the room.

Mosquitos, a lot of them in our room. No 'real' lock in the bedroom windows - we were on first floor and it looked like someone was using the area outside for water buckets. Also on first floor can get a bit loud with other people checking in or out.

Air shuttle is the best in Dar. Coming for 20 years on time every time. Clean, cool, comfortable rooms. Front desk Marbella, though new, continues very good customer service. We have multiple groups come to Tanzania and Air port transit is the most dependable and cleanest. When you consider the cost , location, and service excellent value--you can depend on them.

All was good. No real issues. Only complaint has been the loud worship centers near by.

Staff was super kind. Special mention to Amis and Marcela, who were exceptional. Shout out to the driver as well, who was always on time for both pick up and drop off to the airport, and free! Also, the room was very clean, with A/C, spacious and very comfortable bed. Food was amazing and super tasty. You have to wait some time to get it, but totally worth it!

Noisy surroundings, but nothing to do with the hotel itself

Their helpful driver collected me from the airport at 4am for no extra charge, helped me purchase a local SIM card and drove me the short distance to the accommodation where waiting staff checked me in quickly to get some much needed sleep! They were also happy to serve me a late breakfast, buy phone credit and arrange an affordable taxi to Kipepeo Beach. Excellent service, thanks!

The shuttle service is superior. We advised the hotel our arrival time via booking message. We then have bene contacted with the whatapp about the flight schedule. Our flight delayed to arrive at 3am and we were met by the driver to take us to the hotel. The staff member are very friendly and helpful. We were dropped to the airport by the same drive the next morning after a short stay.

It is really nothing bad.

Free shuttle service was a big plus as well as the location. Room was clean. Bed was comfortable. Breakfast was what we expected. Staff were all very friendly and helpful.

It is fine for people in transit but not for long term stays. It is in an area that does not have anything to offer (no restaurants, or sights to see.) It is a small place on a small plot. But it only took 5 minutes to get to the airport which is what we were looking for so we were very satisfied.
