4-Star Hotels in Dar es salaam

Extended a night to save the hassle of changing place. Nothing much to complain except that the electricity went off for an hour or so in the morning and disrupted my beauty sleep. And also, they didn’t know of the electricity cut until I tell them.

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!

The place is very clean i love the view and there service are immaculate.

Our room was very clean though a bit sterile. The restaurant was a very nice buffet for Valentine’s Day, which caught us by surprise. The only disappointment was the pool and athletic facility was in a separate facility that required walking through a parking garage.

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.

The food wasn't very well prepared; rather, some dishes were overly adapted to European tastes and cooking styles.

My mum and daughter stayed at the hotel for two days, they like the place and the breakfast. One comment is that, better to inform the guests beforehand that the rooms compliment are Not free of charge.

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.
