Rooms are decent, but you do expect more at this price. Room amenities like shampoo and soap feel like something out of a highway motel. The food is excellent, reasonably priced and quickly created. Definitely stay here, its my go to in mwanza forprice to quality

Nice and comfortable

Great location and a very nice hotel, a little expensive but the room was nice and the bed was soft and comfortable. Restaurant had a great menu with good food though the breakfast was mostly local and not what we're use to from North America. But you can always have an omelet and bacon. A little disappointed there was no fridge in the room, would have been nice to have some cool water and the tv signal was spotty and a bad picture but you could still watch a movie. I will stay again but only for short stays because of the cost.

Checking in was disappointing. I was told my booking was cancelled then Expedia has not notified them. I was only accommodated when I insisted, provided proof of booking and insisted on evidence of refund.
