OK, having read the other reviews here, we thought we'd give it a go--thinking it would be charming in a quirky way. It definitely has some potentially appealing quirks and character (the other review mentioning "faded glory" was apt), but overall the place is pretty sad. Issues: * The owner/operator was difficult and unpleasant to deal with on the phone,... More

"Faded Glory" is the term that kept coming back to us. We saw so many little things that could be done to restore some of the class... not expensive re-fits, but just a thorough cleaning and discarding things too damaged to be repaired. I tried to take a nice picture of the garden and veranda - but couldn't. Too many... More

This past summer I spent two months in and around Morogoro, and the New Acropol Hotel was by far, my favorite discovery! I couldn't believe I spent nearly a month without stumbling into the friendly atmosphere, the greatest food in town, and the full bar. Located an easy walk from the mountains and city center, you can do almost anything... More

The New Acropol Hotel is a fantastic restaurant and hotel. Located near the center of Morogoro, it is in a prime location for experiencing the city and surrounding area. The rooms of the hotel are nicer than any of the other hotels I saw in Morogoro. They are comfortable and with plush beds with mosquito nets, showers with hot water,... More

It's weird, when I booked this hotel there were only a couple hotels in Morogoro listed on Travel Advisor. There are a ton of hotels in Morogoro, so there are more options than you would expect. This is a cool, funky place for travelers who understand African travel. There's plenty of hot water in the showers. The beds were comfortable... More

The New Acropol is completely unlike any other hotel in Morogoro, full of character and a thoroughly interesting place to stay. Yes it has its quirks, but when you travel a lot and places start looking the same, accommodation like this is a welcome change. The rooms are large and uniquely furnished, the bar is convivial, the food is good,... More

After having emailed the hotel and not getting any responses for over 1 week, I decided to call the hotel to find out about prices and room availability. I have never had such a bad experience. I am a very polite and level headed person but imagine to my surprise the 'North American' sounding woman who answered the phone kept... More

This hotel offers quite good value for money (for Tanzanian standards). Rooms are large, cool and neatly furnished, although not exactly spotless. The house itself (which hosts the bar and restaurant area) is charming with lots of decor and adequate furniture as well as a nice garden along the main road. Food was definitely not great but from what I... More

Having read and heard that the New Acropol in the centre of Morogoro was a charming place to stay, I was very disappointed that I could not contact the hotel to make a booking. We even tried through an agency as their website was down and no listed numbers worked. I reluctantly settled on a self catering cottage at Mbuyuni.... More
