We stayed at the Snow Crest Hotel both before and after our Tanzanian safari, and we were pleased with the comfort, appearance, and cleanliness of our room and the hotel. Dinner service in the bar was slow, but all other aspects of service were very good. WiFi worked only in public areas. Because it is a convention hotel, occupancy varies... More

I stayed at the hotel while attending a conference. The rooms are great but the service is very poor. It seems the hotel does not have the capacity to handle large groups. The internet service was down or very slow for most of the day. Only after 9 pm it starts to getting better.

Details: - A standard business hotel with quality decor and rooms - Most American/ Business-style hotel stayed in the entire time. - Fast internet, although occasionally went out - Not a very convenient location if one wants to walk places - Staff very friendly and tries hard, although some local customs prevail It was pleasant staying here. Nothing extraordinary, though.

My first night in Tanzania was spent at the Snow Crest Hotel, which was a very nice hotel with friendly and helpful staff. But it lacked the atmosphere that we came all the way to Africa to find! The rooms were very nice and clean and had everything we could wish for. Food was OK, the poool and bar quite... More

I stayed in this hotel right before a Mt. Kilimanjaro hike. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly. The grounds once you get inside are amazingly beautiful; some seriously good landscaping both inside and outside, once you get through the main doors. The location is good, the room was clean, the bed was good, and I slept well, but I... More
