Excellent choice near the airport
We were not here very long unfortunately as we arrived late on one flight and had a flight out early the next morning. The hotel is close to the airport. The shuttle was easy to arrange and a friendly driver picked us up promptly. Our room was beautiful, clean and large. The reception staff were exceptionally friendly and spoke excellent English. Highly recommend this hotel especially if you want to be close to the airport.

The construction in the area made it very difficult to get to and from the hotel.
Terrence Joseph, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Nice place to stay when you arrive or on your way to the airport in Dar Es Salaam. A good restaurant option and a very nice buffet for breakfast.
Jill, 1-night trip

I had no tv service. The bed sheets weren’t changed found hair in it. Made me leary of bathroom.
CHARMAINE, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Close to airport - great value
Huge clean room, comfortable bed, very nice a/c, nice buffet breakfast with good coffee. Very good value. So close to the airport. Only addition would be a hair dryer, but certainly not a deal breaker. There is ongoing construction on the main road (7/24) which adds a little to the time travel to and from and the noise - also, not a deal breaker.
