This historic hotel is right across from the Dodoma Train Station and was originally one of the chain of railroad hotels in Tanzania. It was for a time in shambles and then renovated sometime in the 1990s. The ambiance of old colonial times is still there. However, it is mosquito central. The swimming pool is not maintained and is the color of pea soup. The central courtyard has an unused bar pool which now only serves the purpose of a mosquito breeding ground. There are two restaurants. The main hotel restaurant called 'Italian' is nothing but Italian. It serves the basic Tanzania foods. There is also an attached Chinese restaurant with Chinese cooks. The food is good but the service is horrible. It says no smoking but that doesn't stop the local smokers. The rooms have anemic AC units and are full of mosquitoes. They do spray the rooms each evening and the mosquito nets are good. They have an airport shuttle but charge $15 for an airport run. You can hire a local taxi for $4 for the same run. There is free WiFi but works well only in the courtyard--spotty in the rooms. I worked in Dodoma 20 years ago and came back here for memory lane. Not again!

Staff were fantastic and nothing was too much trouble.

A group of my colleagues stayed here for about a week while doing volunteer work in the greater Dodoma area. The staff is very friendly and helpful. They were able to help us with somewhat odd requests like freezing our ice packs and carrying our heavy boxes. The breakfast food was basic but filling. Great juices! The food off of the menu was tasty and had a wide variety. They helped us book a massage which was great and well-priced. The rooms were very nice-- they spray for bugs so we didn't have any issues. Hot shower, good plumbing, comfy beds. The common area is beautiful with flowering trees and plants. The gardeners made sure not to disrupt a mother cat and her newborn kittens. I will absolutely return, and highly recommend this hotel.

The rooms were fine, beds comfortable, plenty of hot water. Breakfast was sumptuous, with cereals, fruit, juice, hot and cold selections. We enjoyed sitting in the courtyard area. The only negative was the swimming pool and area around it. We booked this hotel for that facility, but the water was cloudy and the sitting area around very neglected, as were the changing rooms.

Accessible and clean. Friendly staff and good price point for my long road trip.

The staffs don’t know well about their payment system. They don’t know how to provide proper invoice to customer.

Nice central courtyard. A bit noisy at night.
