Dar es Salaam Serena Hotel

Dar es Salaam Serena Hotel

Dar es salaam|9.04km from city center
This is a 5 star hotel in downtown Dar with a very interesting history. I booked an arrival airport transfer that was simply forgotten. Front desk staff was friendly and helpful but most other staff members barely noticed the guests. My room was large but not in very good condition. Breakfast was excellent.
Johari Rotana

Johari Rotana

Dar es salaam|9.24km from city center
Everything else is good, the location is invincible, in front of you is the beautiful view of the port! The facilities are relatively new and easy to enter and exit. Especially the pork ribs on the 8th floor are the best ever! There is a problem with the bathroom service. I asked for a toothbrush 3 times before giving it, and I only gave one if I asked for two! The bath towels were gone after the first day of use! Disposable slippers are also used for the first time and will not be replaced with new ones! One time becomes permanent! Another disadvantage is that the wifi speed is too slow, and the blue clock displayed under the TV is too dazzling.

Holiday Inn Dar ES Salaam City Centre

Dar es salaam|8.94km from city center
Good location, 15 minutes walk from the beach, even in CBD, the service staff are very warm and polite, the breakfast is very good, the 360-degree restaurant on the top floor is still a bit poor from other introductions, the overall hardware is similar to the domestic express hotel, After the first day I entered the door, I suspected that I was wrong. The small lobby, the front desk of a service staff, and the domestic holiday are not comparable. There are many hotels around, and I only know that the other is not as good as this (there is a five-star next to it, the price is doubled).

Golden Tulip Dar City Center
4.2/578 Reviews

Golden Tulip Dar City Center

Dar es salaam|9.14km from city center
I'm going to give my honest review about Gold Tulip Resort in Dar es Salaam. This should not be a 4 Star Hotel it should be a 2.5 - 3 Star. My husband and I stayed at this location from 02/02/23 - 02/10/23. The driver for the hotel picked my husband and I up from the airport very nice man. I would like to talk about the Pro's and Con's of this place. Con's Finally arriving at our destination I was so confused and disturbed by how unpleasant it looked in the back of the building. The inside of the receptionist lobby was very clean and it smelled amazing. It was nice and cool. Taking the elevator to the 16th floor was extremely hot. They should install an air conditioning system or a fan inside of the elevator because it's very hot an muggy. My husband and I stayed in room 1606. The room was nice and spacious. Several things I did not like about the room. 1. TV was really small and it wasn't directly in the middle where it should've been. 2. No sports station only in the restaurant on the 20th and 21st floor which was super annoying. You're not able to enjoy your stay and watch sports in your room. 3. On February 9th it stormed and my husband and I were asleep. The sound of the thunder and lightening woke me up. I tried going back to sleep but I kept hearing rain drops which sounded as if it the rain was dropping onto the floor. I get up at 3am and check and low and behold the window seal was completely drenched and water was also on the floor. How is this possible??? They need to do some immediate work on their windows because this is extremely dangerous. 4. Bathroom was very unpleasant looking. The toilet was absolutely disgusting. No matter how many times the housekeeper came to clean the inside of the toilet where the water refills was so corded with rust. Everytime we flushed the water was brown. That was disgusting. It really bothers me when I needed to shower water would get all over the floor because there was no door to keep the water inside the shower. The existing glass door that's there water gets underneath it and gets all over the floor. Water temperature takes time to get hot. 5. Air conditioner unit is horrible and they need to replace all of them in each room. For this place to charge so much money they can afford to upgrade the air conditioning unit, TV, TV Stations, Glass door for shower, toilets, etc... 6. My husband and I ate at their restaurant almost everyday. The prices of their breakfast is ridiculous because the food they have for all you can eat wasn't pleasant. To charge what they charge is a bit outrageous. The drinks they have out are NEVER and I mean NEVER iced cold. When you ask them for ice it's always a hassle to get because their machine doesn't always work. It's really hot in the morning and not having an iced cold beverage is annoying. Dinner Menu I got really bored with. First thing I ordered on their menu was Chicken Tom Yom Soup. When I tell you this soup was no where near Tom Yom.soup. It tasted not
Chelsea Hotel
4.2/560 Reviews

Chelsea Hotel

Dar es salaam|8.45km from city center
I spent one night in the Chelsea Hotel to do some sightseeing in Dar and it was very good for that purpose. The hotel was a little bit dated, but otherwise completely up to the standards which I expect from a hotel. It's located not far from the clock tower, which to my understanding pinpoints the centerpoint of the city. The actual sights I went to see started further away, about 20 minutes by foot. The room was adequate in size and had good aircon. I had a twin room. I first tried sleeping in the bed further away from the aircon, but the air blew directly there, so I had to move to the bed right under the aircon unit. The hotel was located close to a busy road and the honking of the cars could be heard up to the sixth floor. However it wasn't bad. The breakfast was ok. It didn't have a very wide selection, but the items I tried were tasty and of good quality. Also the setting in the restaurant was pleasant. The only negative I have to say is the extraorbitant exchange rate. I had paid my room rate in advance, but I had to pay the city tax (1.50 USD) at the hotel. I asked to pay in Tsh and had to pay 7000 Tsh, equivalent to about 3$. My loss was only 1.50$, so it wasn't a big deal in my case, but the principle left a bad taste in my mouth. If the room rate would have been 1.50$ higher but the city tax 3500 Tsh, I would have left as a happy customer. The hotel offered airport transfer for 42000 Tsh. It was quite pricy. The fixed price at the official taxi stand at the airport was 30000 Tsh. On the way back to the airport I used a rideshare app to get my transfer, it cost Tsh 12000.

Element Dar es Salaam

Dar es salaam|8.53km from city center
It‘s a fairly new hotel and part of Marriott Bonvoy. I enjoyed to stay there a lot, the staff is very friendly and attentive. The breakfast buffet is nice and with various options. The pool has a nice size, however lacking a view. Talking about view, some rooms have nice sea view. Others have pool view but you also see the green landscape which is nice too. The rooms are pretty big, kind of small TV though, but they feel very comfortable and the bed is great too. Also USB and an international power plug at the night stand, which still a lot of other hotels don‘t have. Rooms are cleaned very well. The gym is very basic, only machines for cardio and a few weights. Ate dinner at the restaurant several times and always got good food. There is an area called Slipway just 5 walking minutes away, that also provides great food options and a bit of nightlife.

Especially the pork ribs on the 8th floor are the best ever! There is a problem with the bathroom service. I asked for a toothbrush 3 times before giving it, and I only gave one if I asked for two! The bath towels were gone after the first day of use! Disposable slippers are also used for the first time and will not be replaced with new ones! One time becomes permanent! Another disadvantage is that the wifi speed is too slow, and the blue clock displayed under the TV is too dazzling.

The location is very good, a five-minute drive from the ferry port of Zanzibar Island. There is a Chinese restaurant downstairs, which tastes good and the price is moderate.

When I arrived, I waited for an hour to check in. I said that the check-in time was two o'clock, and the check-out time was 10 o'clock. I was a little surprised, but then the twin bed gave a free upgrade to the double room. Breakfast like hot milk, fried eggs on the spot. There are a few mosquitoes living now, and it’s especially fast to catch. The facilities are a bit historyd, the water is a bit blocked, and there are fewer TV shows. Room cleaning is more timely. The waiter is very good. How is the dinner so slow, but you can read the phone to write a review, it seems that this is the rhythm, the surrounding streets are neat and feel safer. The mosque outside the window broadcasts several times a day. At five o'clock, someone will be woken up. Fortunately, I can't hear it.

I'm going to give my honest review about Gold Tulip Resort in Dar es Salaam. This should not be a 4 Star Hotel it should be a 2.5 - 3 Star. My husband and I stayed at this location from 02/02/23 - 02/10/23. The driver for the hotel picked my husband and I up from the airport very nice man. I would like to talk about the Pro's and Con's of this place. Con's Finally arriving at our destination I was so confused and disturbed by how unpleasant it looked in the back of the building. The inside of the receptionist lobby was very clean and it smelled amazing. It was nice and cool. Taking the elevator to the 16th floor was extremely hot. They should install an air conditioning system or a fan inside of the elevator because it's very hot an muggy. My husband and I stayed in room 1606. The room was nice and spacious. Several things I did not like about the room. 1. TV was really small and it wasn't directly in the middle where it should've been. 2. No sports station only in the restaurant on the 20th and 21st floor which was super annoying. You're not able to enjoy your stay and watch sports in your room. 3. On February 9th it stormed and my husband and I were asleep. The sound of the thunder and lightening woke me up. I tried going back to sleep but I kept hearing rain drops which sounded as if it the rain was dropping onto the floor. I get up at 3am and check and low and behold the window seal was completely drenched and water was also on the floor. How is this possible??? They need to do some immediate work on their windows because this is extremely dangerous. 4. Bathroom was very unpleasant looking. The toilet was absolutely disgusting. No matter how many times the housekeeper came to clean the inside of the toilet where the water refills was so corded with rust. Everytime we flushed the water was brown. That was disgusting. It really bothers me when I needed to shower water would get all over the floor because there was no door to keep the water inside the shower. The existing glass door that's there water gets underneath it and gets all over the floor. Water temperature takes time to get hot. 5. Air conditioner unit is horrible and they need to replace all of them in each room. For this place to charge so much money they can afford to upgrade the air conditioning unit, TV, TV Stations, Glass door for shower, toilets, etc... 6. My husband and I ate at their restaurant almost everyday. The prices of their breakfast is ridiculous because the food they have for all you can eat wasn't pleasant. To charge what they charge is a bit outrageous. The drinks they have out are NEVER and I mean NEVER iced cold. When you ask them for ice it's always a hassle to get because their machine doesn't always work. It's really hot in the morning and not having an iced cold beverage is annoying. Dinner Menu I got really bored with. First thing I ordered on their menu was Chicken Tom Yom Soup. When I tell you this soup was no where near Tom Yom.soup. It tasted not

Urban Rose welcomes guests with a cool glass of juice and a warm smile by the crew. Very welcoming and easy going. The rooms are clean and spacious, beds comfortable and wifi works very well. The complementary breakfast buffet has Indian and Western food of high quality and the service staff is welcoming. Safety is provided by security staff, and even at night the area is totally safe. Street cooking happens just at the doorstep, do not miss it. It is a 3 minutes walk to the DART Station Kivukoni from where the central bus station (north-west) and the Kivukoni ferry (south-east) are easily reachable.
