PHYLLEN HOTEL in Tanga is widely regarded as an excellent budget-friendly option, with guests frequently praising its cleanliness and the quality of its air conditioning. The service is a standout feature, with many reviewers highlighting the warmth and friendliness of the host and kitchen staff. While the rooms are noted to be on the smaller side, they are well-equipped with essentials like 24-hour hot water, though some guests mentioned low water pressure in the showers. The on-site restaurant receives positive mentions, particularly for its delicious fish dishes. However, some visitors noted that noise from the street or corridors can occasionally be a disturbance. Additionally, the unpaved road leading to the hotel can become difficult to navigate when it rains, and there have been reports of booking discrepancies with third-party sites.
