Very nice room with an amazing view. Property is decent but can be better. Nice bar on level 8 but food service takes forever. It’s the World Cup season so there’s a big screen to watch matches. There’s a cigar lounge too.

The CRJE Hotel boasts hardware that meets domestic five-star standards and is conveniently located in the heart of Dar es Salaam, making travel easy. Rooms offer excellent views of the sea and harbor. The Chinese restaurant has Chinese chefs, serving authentic cuisine at 150-200 yuan per person, which is suitable for business travelers with a generous budget. Breakfast is just okay, but the pool and gym facilities are comprehensive and modern. However, there are clear downsides: communication was poor, and multiple requests to change the bedsheets went unfulfilled; eventually, I was told there were no clean sheets available. Housekeeping was not thorough; items like tissues were not replenished for days after running out. The room's weight scale was broken. The power supply was unstable, with more than 10 power outages daily. Although power was restored quickly, it significantly impacted the experience.

The room was decent, but the housekeeping service was poor. For a double room, they only provided one set of towels and toiletries, and no toothbrushes. The next day, I even left a tip, but they took away the existing towels and still didn't provide any toothbrushes. Other than the unqualified housekeeping staff, everything else was fine.

I recently stayed at Johari Rotana in Dar es Salaam, and it offered a polished and luxurious city hotel experience with excellent service and impressive views of the waterfront. The hotel’s location is one of its strongest points—situated in the city center with easy access to business districts and key attractions, while also offering beautiful views of the Indian Ocean and the harbor. The overall setting feels both strategic and scenic, especially from the higher floors. From arrival, the service stood out. The staff were professional, welcoming, and attentive, ensuring a smooth check-in and a comfortable stay throughout. The attention to detail and hospitality standards reflect a high level of international quality. The rooms are spacious, modern, and elegantly designed, with large windows that maximize natural light and showcase stunning city or ocean views. The beds are very comfortable, and the bathrooms are well-appointed with premium finishes, making the stay feel genuinely upscale. Dining was another highlight, with a strong variety of international and local cuisine. Breakfast offered a wide selection and high-quality presentation, while the restaurants provided a refined dining experience overall. Facilities such as the pool, spa, and fitness center are well-maintained and add to the sense of a full-service luxury hotel. Overall, Johari Rotana is an excellent choice for both business and leisure travelers seeking comfort, convenience, and modern luxury in Dar es Salaam. It delivers a consistently high standard of hospitality in a prime city location.

A whole beautiful hotel had no bath shampoo, or lotion. The room had no pressing iron it took about 20 mins for an iron to be brought. After checking out I was asked again to pay government taxes which I had already paid when checking in.
