Hotels in Dar es salaam

"Business hotel style. They charged extra for slippers and shaving kits (we brought tooth brushes ourselves). We had dinner at the restaurant of the hotel, the food was quite good and the meal is really big."

"I chose this hotel because it offers direct access to the ferry terminal, which was convenient for me to take a boat to other cities. The only commendable aspect was that the hotel arranged someone to help me buy the ferry tickets, which I consider to be the sole added value of choosing this hotel."

"To be fair, this hotel scores average because it is not a family friendly place Apart from having a swimming pool, there is absolutely nothing and nowhere for children. I was travelling with mine, so it was not the most comfortable experience. We travelled and stayed over new year's eve, so perhaps that was the reason for much of the discomfort, but without going into too much unnecessary detail, it was noisy, extremely hot in the corridors, lots of mosquitoes ( my 6YO was bitten ), no nets, outdated bathroom, weak plumbing, shower takes a little while to heat up in the evening, just generally poor, and not what I expected from a 4 star rated hotel. Staff were generally really pleasant, except for the one lady at breakfast who seemed totally unimpressed to have to engage with guests, but still insisted on doing so, then incorrectly served a dish to our table and proceeded to get snappy with us over HER mistake. Unprofessional and distasteful. Gym is small, outdated, equipment well used and not fully functional. Restaurant curry very tasty, huge dessert portions, breakfast spread sufficient, but coffee not hot, and had to wait for a chef from the kitchen to make scrambled eggs that took a good 20mins! This hotel is not a place to expect luxury or exceptional comfort, but if a bed and a place to be close to banking and service centres is what you require, this place will serve it's purpose. Pool is a good size, very clean, and night view from the pool deck is pretty."

"I booked this hotel due to two reasons - its a Marriot property now and the beach pier which I saw in the pics. Unfortunately the pier is closed now and there is no direct access to any beach. That was a big disappointment. The other issue was that there is no calling bell outside the room. So the staff has to knock!! If you are asleep or TV is ON, you will mostly not hear it. Bit strange despite being a marriot property. The pros: The check in and checkout was seamless. The reception is very well managed and the people are very nice and hospitable. The breakfast buffet was good with nice vegetarian options (which I had requested and the hotel was kind enough to oblige). The deluxe room with ocean view was quite large and had a nice balcony. though not directly on the watefront, could view the ocean...it should be renamed as partial view of ocean though. The in room dining food was quite good. Also the location is in a nice part of the town."

"A perfect choice for business trips! The location is great and transportation is convenient. The room is clean and tidy, the bedding is comfortable, and the Wi-Fi is stable, completely meeting both my work and rest needs. The front desk was quick to respond and provided professional service. Breakfast was convenient and nutritious, and the check-out process was efficient. No hidden issues at all, and great value for money. Highly recommend for business travelers!"

"Hotel location is OK, in the city center, but the local power supply is unstable, often power outages Facilities: The room is relatively large, and pots and bowls are provided at the same time Hygienic: The room is relatively clean Environment: You can see the night view of the city's main road"

"A great hotel for a stay in Dar es Salaam. Beautiful terrace with a pool, delicious breakfast, very friendly staff (in the restaurant). Comfortable bed, clean and fresh linens, comfortable lounge chairs by the pool. Cons: I called reception five times asking for a hairdryer, but they completely ignored me. They never brought one. Hairdryers are available in all rooms, though. The reception staff is tired. Give them a break. In room 805, the handle on the inside of the bathroom door is broken; you have to really try to close the door. The shower is old and leaking and needs to be replaced. The shower head is also leaking, and the bathroom floor was covered in water."

"Service: In fact, it is still good, from check-in to help with luggage to the room, all links are more convenient But to be honest, the water quality is really average, the others are fine, and it is acceptable at this price."

"Excellent hotel in city centre, good Indian food, humble staff. Neat clean rooms,"

"The services at the hotel were great, we were well received and catered for. Great location, there is mall nearby so you basically have access to everything you need, good spacious rooms. The only challenged is the facilities look a bit old and need to be upgraded, Because the pictures show new facilities however when you get there its not what is potrayed in the pictures this was a bit dissapointing."
