Very good position not far from Oyster Bay (10 minutes by bajaji or pikipiki) and close to Kawe. The room was clean and had a mosquito net for the beds, breakfast was perfect on the roof top terrace of the hostel. The atmosphere is warm and Roberta is very friendly, she even organized a dinner with other guests, which made the experience totally worth it.

Good

Main reason I stay here is because of location and it is safe.

I love the location and the facilities outside are kept well and a good place to park car. Very peaceful. Safe location. Have stayed here several times. It is better if you are staying by yourself(bigger bed and room more like motel room) or several people want to stay in one room.(Be prepared for dorm type room) This trip we stayed in room that had 4 beds.(2 of us)

I was not expecting beds to be so small in room I stayed in. (Smallest size you can buy) Price for two people is expensive for what you get compared to other places I have stayed in Dar. You feel like you are staying in a dormatory. Breakfast is very,very simple with no good options for people who have to watch their sugar. Also most of the time there is no staff close to area during breakfast time if you need something. If you stay here and do not want to fill up on items made of flour, plan in budget to eat breakfast outside of motel. Also if you want to eat breakfast, it is better to go to area early as items finish quickly. If you want a motel atmosphere, this is not the place to stay if you need more than one bed, but a good option for several people who want to stay together . Just be ready to sacrifice comfort to do so. Also no good options for dinner for person not wanting to eat starches. They need to add a meal option that is just meat and veggies.

Affordable, comfortable place to be and come back to

Nice welcoming atmosphere and staff, that's one of the most important point for an out of home stay. You feel safe and welcomed being able to be free. Nice clean room with AC. Wonderful rooftop, to relax and chill with a nice wind blowing. Ohh... and the food you can order to eat on the rooftop - kitamu sana - delicious!!!

The personal are very friendly, also Roberta wanted to help us immediatly when we asked for. The dinner was very good even the breakfast was fine. The terrace is sooo beautiful and fresh.

The A/C didnt work but there was a fan which helped. The bed was okay but could be better.

Superb

Little Italy in Dar, a place to go back to.

Roberta is a great host, has simple but very ample rooms, clean, great value for money, and location, rooftop lounge and food court. Breakfast is basic and morning sunshine was good too. Dinner option exists and it's very good home made food, at unbeatable cost. Laundry service great and quick as I had to part in a hurry. exceptional. I will go back. Plus you only met cool guests, explorers, obviously many Italians which added to the charm and soul. Breakfast included. The building was kind of colonial era style. the place had its charm.

The rooftop lounge could be more comfortable to hang out, wifi was not good everywhere, breakfast elements like omelet offered even at additional cost would be an upgrade.
