Rainbow Hotel Dar es Salaam
The stay was characterised by a nice welcome at the reception. The room is clean but aircon, TV and water heater were not working. The room was extra hot and no bottle of water is offered, neither coffee/tea making utensils. What affected me most are the mosquitoes, I couldn't sleep. While the infrastructure is good, management is doing little to keep the standard. The breakfast is generally not good for a 3 star hotel.

Dorm style rooms
I wanted to move to another hotel bc it is a dorm shared room hotel. Since no one was there with COVID, the owner accommodated me to my own room. It is basic and inexpensive for a night transit.
