Cleanliness is OK. However the hotel is being refurbished in spite of the need for a full renovation. Doesn't comply with a 4 star hotel by Southern Sun. Serious issue with ventilation as the main lobby and restaurant area smell like fish. Corridors and rooms smell fungus, and I had to keep the room window open all the time. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Guy Jun 21, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Holiday in Tanzania Great hotel to stay when organizing for a safari in our of the bush or heading to Pemba or Zanzibar. ##### Guy Stayed 1 night in Jun 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Jun 19, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I travel all the time, and the Southern Sun is by far my favorite hotel.

This is a very friendly and nice hotel. The rooms are modern, very comfortable and clean with good Wi-Fi and TV with decent channels. The best surprise of this hotel was the excellent restaurant for dinner. The menu was diverse and food was excellent and beautiful presentation. High compliments to the dinner chef. I had an Indian dinner that was exquisite and grilled fish dinner special that was cooked to perfection. I also appreciated that they let me extend my check out time since my flight wasn’t until later. They were so friendly about it all. The pool area is pleasant and the garden next door offers a nice walk. ##### Cynthia Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Feb 6, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Excellent food and service.

On my request the hotel arranged for me to be collected from the airport by taxi quite late in the evening. Check in was quick and easy, and I was most impressed that there were no additional questions or queries about my booking and prepayment through Hotel.com. The room and bathroom were well maintained, neat and clean. WiFi and TV channels worked well. Hot water to shower was not a problem. The resturant and food was of a high standard, as was the breakfast serviced in the morning. The hotel is well positioned and relatively close to most business areas including the CBD, however traffic is heavy during peak hours and needs to be considered when setting meeting times. Overall good experience, will definitely stay in this hotel on my next business trip. ##### Sean Stayed 2 nights in May 2018 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hong Kong Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Dar-Es-Salaam-Hotels-Hong-Kong-Hotel.h16102364.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Algonquin Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Algonquin-Park-Hotels.d6343000.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Kingsmond real estate](https://www.expedia.ca/Dar-Es-Salaam-Hotels-Kingsmond-Real-Estate.h37210031.Hotel-Information) > > [Vacation Homes Fisher Branch](https://www.expedia.ca/Fisher-Branch-Private-Vacation-Homes.d553248635922144293-aaPrivateVacationHomes.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [The Grand Villa Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Dar-Es-Salaam-Hotels-The-Grand-Villa-Hotel.h58102487.Hotel-Information) > > [Travellers Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Waasis-Hotels-Travellers-Inn.h99188158.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Aikmel](https://www.expedia.ca/Aikmel-Hotels.d3000429762.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Concepción Pápalo](https://www.expedia.ca/Concepcion-Papalo-Hotels.d553248635640697044.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [5 Star Hotels in Peawanuck](https://www.expedia.ca/5Star-Peawanuck-Hotels.s50-0-d4036.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [M Hotel Mbezi](https://www.expedia.ca/Dar-Es-Salaam-Hotels-M-Hotel-Mbezi.h21234603.Hotel-Information) > > [Apartments Glomazic](https://www.expedia.ca/Budva-Hotels-Apartments-Glomazic.h24151830.Hotel-Information) > > [Adults Only Resorts & Hotels in Sun City](https://www.expedia.ca/Sun-City-Tampa-Hotels-Adults-Only-Resorts.0-n553248635975870454-0-tAdultsOnlyResorts.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Boutique Hotels in Red Light District](https://www.expedia.ca/Red-Light-District-Amsterdam-Hotels-Boutique-Hotel.0-n503532-0-tBoutiqueHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels near Ses Illetes Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Ses-Illetes-Beach-Hotels.0-l6122650-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Baybreeze Restaurant and Motel](https://www.expedia.ca/Saint-John-Hotels-Baybreeze-Restaurant-And-Motel.h11585454.Hotel-Information) > > [Silver Maple Inn ](https://www.expedia.ca/Bridgeport-Hotels-Silver-Maple-Inn-And-The-Cain-House.h11052222.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Kastela (SPU) to Spata-Artemida (ATH)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/spu/ath/split-to-athens) > > [Flights from Kingston (KIN) to Dorval (YUL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/kin/yul/kingston-to-montreal) > > [Turkish Airlines](https://www.expedia.ca/Turkish-Airlines-Flights.cTK.Travel-Guide-Airlines) ### Cars > [Budget Israel Car Rentals In La Foret Blanche](https://www.expedia.ca/Budget-Israel-Car-Rentals-In-La-Foret-Blanche.d6034260-c1012.Car-Rental-Guide-Suppliers) ### Cruise ### Activities ### Packages > [St. Lawrence Market](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Lawrence-Market-Downtown-Toronto.d503140.Vacation-Attraction) ### General > [Visit Greenwood](https://www.expedia.ca/Greenwood.dx6271704)
