The hotel was very comfortable for our final nights stay before flying out of Kilimanjaro. Comfortable room with air conditioning and a huge bed. The dinner was lovely and breakfast... read more too, particularly the bacon and pancakes.

Staff were very attentive and friendly.

The only bad experience was the free airport transfer. Although it was only a 15 min journey, we felt quite unsafe. The driver was erratic, overtaking other vehicles dangerously. The worst part was the driver hitting and killing a dog at 70 km/h on the road to the airport, as well as narrowly missing a second one. The two dogs were visible in the road from far away, at least 300m, so we didn't think to tell the driver to slow down as there was ample time for him to see and do so. However he ploughed straight through them, killing one instantly. It's fair enough to expect cultural differences when travelling (particularly regarding sentimentality to animals) but this was just cruel, unnecessary and dangerous.

Nice hotel, change the driver.
