Last night!!!!!
Average hotel slightly disappointing, too many power cuts, a bit grubby when you looked round. (Bottom sheet was not good - discovered in the morning!!!!!!).

As we only spent a few hours sleeping at the hotel, I'm not able to give a more thorough review

Southern Sun (formerly the Holiday Inn) review
A very comfortable night's stay before our early morning flight back to the UK. We were able to check-in on line in the Business Centre which was great. The shop was very useful for last minute gifts as there was very little to buy at any of the camps. We had a lovely evening meal but left before breakfast.
Kearsleys travel were efficient getting us to and from the hotel. The journey to the airport from the hotel howerver was very unnerving with erratic, dangerous driving. We were amazed we arrived without a crash.

This hotel was exactly what we were hoping for as a stopover on the journey home. A modern, western style business hotel, it is clean, well equipped and has a good restaurant meaning we didn't have to leave the hotel!

Very welcoming. All staff really friendly and very helpful, this was the best thing about this hotel. Food very good. A nice place to get over your plane journey and to relax. Liked the pool area - not at all busy.
Area around hotel not that great.
Rooms typical of this sort of hotel, but were fine.
Would recommend this as somewhere to stay in Dar for a short pit stop is Dar.

We only stayed a few hours as our plane did not land until 11.30 p.m and we left at 7 the next morning. However it was rather a long way to drive from the airport after we had had a long flight.
We did have a problem at the airport as one of our soft top bags, ( which we had to use to go on safari) had been ripped open which delayed us. We did not lose anything - it only contained T shirts, walking boots etc no valuables but was not a good start to the holiday. We think travellers should be aware that this can happen.

We have always believed that acting responsibly is the only way to approach tourism and we're one of
the few companies to hold AITO's original coveted 5-star status for responsible tourism. It's a lead
that others are now following.
