    Very interesting hotel in Masaki, externally extremely elegant and with excellent design, inside, sober and pleasant, spacious and very comfortable rooms, very clean and with excellent staff. Enjoy your breakfast. All amenities available. I recommend it as a solution close to the sea in one of the most exclusive areas of the city.

    The hotel is a bit remote, but very nice and with friendly staff. It's a good place to chill out. The rooms are functional, but not luxurious (what you expect as an European in a boutique hotel). Food is good. There are a few stores within walking distance, nothing more. The beach is unfortunately like the sea dirty and not suitable for swimming. The beach is public and there are a lot of locals at the beach, which is very nice. Recommended especially if you are looking for peace and quiet.

    The renovated ”deluxe room” was nice and rather good value in Dar with Genius discounts. I wouldn’t pay their normal prices though. Staff is generally very friendly. Please note that the manager is desperately begging for good reviews only, so most guests leave out the negative aspects. In pictures, you get the feeling of ”boutique hotel” but in reality it’s just photogenic budget hotel - don’t expect more.
