Blackwood Hotel And Apartments

This place is everything, the respect and service from the workers is top notch .surely recommend it .

The hotel is nice and clean, comparable to European hotels. The staff friendly. Security available 24x7 (no problem leaving middle of the night because of a flight). Room cleaning was done in a very good way. Little fitness room is well equipped. Kids loved the pool. Important to know: there is a mosque right next to it, and the Call to Prayer/Adhan is really loud. It lasts for 10-15mins, starting at 04:50. You should be aware about 2 things: - dinner took ages. We waited for 3 meals (fries, pasta, mini wraps) 1,5hrs, then we left because kids could not wait any longer. It was delivered than after 2hrs in total to our room. A 2nd try 2 days later with pancakes only (plain, with Nutella separately) took 40mins and 2x asking. Chef asked about Nutella right after ordering, this what confuses me most, so he was present. In both cases, no other guests around. - it was our last night and I had no TZS left anymore. So I wanted to tip either with card (not possible) or with USD (not possible to organize change), both a bit surprisingly for this hotel since getting dollar change was even possible in the middle of nowhere in Mikumi. All in all, I can recommend the hotel, but you should eiter have dinner somewhere else or practice patience.

Nice place so clean and very good service Location is far from city but really calm area for rest remonded

Really lovely boutique hotel and apartment building, you can tell that the decor and detailing was very deliberate. My only challenge was that the restaurant wasn’t too active and seemed to have only one person managing, so certain orders took some time. Other than that the customer service was also lovely. Well worth an apartment stay if you’re in town for a few nights.
