It has charm and very good personnel- on negative - rooms are outdated, no power outlets at the table, really bad pillows

8/10 Very Good

The rooms were fine, beds comfortable, plenty of hot water. Breakfast was sumptuous, with cereals, fruit, juice, hot and cold selections. We enjoyed sitting in the courtyard area. The only negative was the swimming pool and area around it. We booked this hotel for that facility, but the water was cloudy and the sitting area around very neglected, as were the changing rooms.

2/10 Poor

The hotel is very old, old bed, bathroom. Things don’t work, the TV in the room doesn’t work. Full of mosquitoes although they have someone every evening spraying mosquito repellent which is terrible. For the price of the room, it’s not worth staying at dodoma hotel. Unless you don’t care about your moneys worth.

2/10 Poor

For the price for this hotel, it is certainly not worth it. Their rooms are small and everything is old. The amenities that they have listed under all of their rooms on Expedia are not correct - in the standard room, there was no aircon and the wifi barely reached the room. The hotel must be under construction as there was continuous grinding and sawing noises whilst I was there during the day. The room is super insecure - the door to the khonde was blocked with a table to keep people out, and the front door has only a push lock to lock it, even though the proper borders a very busy road. No coat hangers in the cabinet. To top it off, there was no hot water in the shower and their solution was to bring a bucket of hot water to use (admittedly, they did this pretty quickly, which makes me wonder where all the hot water is?! And thanks to the staff that did so!). ALL OF THIS IS FINE, but not at the price I’m paying nor at the location where we are. Dodoma’s most famous hotel needs some work.

Lightning WiFi
Wonderful staff and very helpful. Room was good for the price. Bathroom could use a new shower curtain but otherwise was ok. Great mosquito netting on the bed. Hotel as a whole is very nice. Wonderful courtyard and atmosphere. Would stay here again anytime.

Staff was nice but building needs a lot of updating. The bathroom needs a total redo and new beds that don't squeak when you move.

Needs renovation but an okay place to stay
Staff was very friendly and room was clean. Hotel is a bit rundown. Gym is full of broken equipment (none of the 7 or 8 cardio machines worked and part of the universal weight machine was broken) and quite dirty.

Even old buildings can be clean
Sorry to say we did not get AC the room there was no fridge as advertised the hotel was not only very tatty it was dirty. I understand they are waiting for a refurbishment of the building but cleanliness has nothing to do with buildings condition. At dinner the top table cloth was stained from previous people who had eaten there but not just the people before us. To be honest after one night we cut our losses made up an excuse and left so never got to see Dodoma so we would not recommend the hotel to anyone

ORBITZ AND DODOMA HOTEL MUST REFUND ME FOR THE FRAUD COMMITTED DURING MY LAST VISIT TO THE HOTEL. ORBITZ CHARGED ME FOR THE DOUBLE ROOM THAT WAS CONFIRMED. DODOMA HOTEL SOLD THAT ROOM TO ANOTHER PERSON AND GAVE ME A TERRIBLY SMELLING STANDARD ROOOM AND DID NOT PROVIDE A REFUND. ORBITZ ALSO USED MY ORBITZ POINTS FOR THAT TRANSACTIONS. SMELLY ROOM. NO INTERNET. NO APOLOGIES. NO REFUND. TOTAL FRAUD.

My confirmed deluxe room was given to someeone else. Instead I was given a standard room with no internet connectivity and toilet that would not flush. A horrible experience. Orbitz MUST refund the room rate diffetence. Orbitz must send me a conformation when the refund is procesded and done.
