Saadani Tourist Centre Hostel, Dar Es Salaam, Tans

Vastaanotto huono, ei ollut tietoa varauksesta, odottamista ja soittelua. Expedia on aina tällainen kumppani. Ilmoituksessa luvattuja asioita ei ollut. Vastaanotossa huono kielitaito (englanti) ja muutenkin huono palvelu. Jos asioista huomautti tai kysyi, sai vastaan huonoa palvelua tai täysin hiljaisuutta. Johtaja hyvä ja ymmärsi asioita. Aamiainen ok. Uima-allasta ei ollut hoidettu. Etäällä keskustasta eikä tuktukit löytäneet paikalle. Baarissa ei myöskään palvelua, mutta loppua kohti parani tai tottui oloihin. Muutamia hyviä työntekijöitä johtajan lisäksi. Mutta oli tietysti myös edullinen. Wifi ei aina toimiut.

Edullinen viihtyisä paikka

Oikein positiivinen kokemus, henkilökunta auttavaista vaikka kaikki eivät puhuneet kunnolla englantia. Todella siisti. Nafasi art space lähellä. Asiakkaista suurin osa afrikkalaisia, mikä minusta positiivista. Wi-fi toimi mutta yhteys ei oikein hyvä.
