Dar es salaam Hotels with Gym

A Memorable Return Visit— Hospitality Shines Brighter Positive experience at Protea Courtyard  Oyster Bay Dar es Salaam.. Exceptional staff across the board.....warm receptionists , attentive room service and cleaners, and a standout Club  restaurant team. Breakfast offered a diverse and delicious spread from the hotel’s chefs. As a returning guest, I’m pleased with the refreshed look and upgrades and look forward to my next visit.

The resort was definitely much smaller than it appeared in the pictures, but it was very nice indeed. Beautiful clean white sand, a lovely relaxing vibe, and generally pleasant surroundings. There is not much to do apart from swimming for my six-year-old, but that in itself was enjoyable. It was peak season, therefore it was a little bit crowded, however not to the point of total discomfort. The staff were pleasant and accommodating, and the restaurant food was mostly very tasty. Our one suggestion was well received, and likely to be rectified soonest. Nice breakfast spread - included all the stations, but the hot food selection could be a little more exciting. It would be great if the hotel itself could organize one or two activities. There was a volleyball and an attempt at a game the guests tried to pioneer which never quite happened. The rooms size is sufficient, nice big bed, my only complaint would be the fact that the fridge can be difficult to locate as it is very strangely positioned and hidden behind some panels. The central air conditioning seemed to be off in certain places, so it was hot in the corridors, fortunately the room air conditioning works very well. There isn't really anything in the way of fast food places and restaurants in close proximity, so only the hotel restaurant. This is fine for a few nights, but would probably get tedious for a longer stay. We enjoyed our stay overall, and would recommend and visit again!

I recently visited this hotel and the hotel restaurant and had an excellent experience as they offered me an early check-in. The service was good and the waiter, Seif, was very attentive and friendly.

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.

Very nice hotel. It turned out to be bigger than it looked on the pictures. The territory is green and romantic. The staff is amazing. Rooms are clean and comfortable, there air conditioning, fan and clean water. But the greatest thing - it's right at the ocean. Highly recommended.

I was disappointed that the hotel wouldn’t let us get a partial refund for a 2 week stay the breakfast was very average and in general the hotel was not inspiring it’s more fitting for a business stay than a holiday stay. Nevertheless it was clean which is important for me.

A part the horrible dinner the rest was very pleasant and enjoyable. The night shift girl at the reception seamed unhappy to serve us, exactly the opposite of the her colleague, a very kind and helpful boy.

Happy with the service, staff were polite and helpful...breakfast was descent and room service meals were reasonably price...I especially loved their spring rolls, samosa and masala tea!

The hotel staff were great, polite and accommodating. They were able to check me in very late after my flight was delayed for a few hours past the regular check-in window. Overall I enjoyed my stay with them and would rebook with them again.

Fantastic location. Lovely hotel design. Lots of space. I've styed here a few times in last couple of years and always loved it. Usually there's some minor malfunction with a room, which is not unusual in most hotels globally but especially Tanzania. This time however, it was bad. There were 3 of us in two rooms. Toilets had not been cleaned in either room when moving in. One so bad, we had to move rooms. Broken light bulbs were not replaced for days, bathroom fittings were falling apart, My room Safe did not work and never got fixed after 5 days - not ”couldn't be fixed”, just did not even bother to try). Air Con in one room broke down. One minute they said they were just going to do it (this was 1/2 a day following reporting it), then said they had already done it and the other person was wrong, but actually it had still not been fixed. Eventually, it took 10 minutes to fix it. I hate to complain like this because I've always loved staying at this hotel. The staff have been great, as have the facilities and location. With better management, staff training, and budget for better maintenance, this hotel could again become one of the best in Dar Es Salaam. I am hopeful it will happen as I would like to stay again.
