It is with a heavy heart that I write this review. We so wanted it to be great, but unfortunately... it isn't.
If you are looking to rent a room on a barely B&B basis, with a hostel vibe, then this is your place, I cannot fault it for that... however they are charging WAY too much for it. This is a $50 per night place MAXIMUM, and for that I guess it's great, but for $150 or more per night, which is what we paid, and I note for some reason at the moment its at over $300 per night, this is simply ludicrous.
How do we know? After 5 nights there, willing ourselves to see past all the negatives and trying to be positive, we basically couldn't do it anymore. We then booked another hotel that was maybe $10 per night more than Ujamaa and left. The difference was night and day!!
I realise, you can be reading this negative review amongst all the glowing 5 star reviews and think that I'm just some idiot, probably complains for the littlest of things, but that would be very far from the truth, and also, we did exactly the same with the negative reviews we read. You're so excited and can't wait to go, and with so many great reviews the negatives must be crackpots and you dismiss them.
As I was writing this it would seem Expedia limits these reviews, I have more to say and to describe all the faults, so please check out other review sites to see the whole review.
