Disappointing Hotel overlooking Lake Manyara. The rooms are large but dated and nothing works (no plugs, no wifi or shower, no fan..). Everything in the room is seen without any maintenance. The temperature of the room is over 30 degrees and they put a fan on top of the bed which is covered above, so the air does not arrive. At the restaurant they don't have even zero Coke to drink. Medium quality dinner but very bad dessert. A hotel not recommended as there are better options at dinner.
Amazing location The staff were so kind and helpful, and they taught us new Swahili phrases every day, which we loved. The food was fantastic, and the views were truly special. The room was beautiful as well along with the view from our room and the atmosphere as there were baboons around us which was so fun!
