Had to stay one night in Dar as my flight timings from Zanzibar to South Africa did not align on the same day. Since I had an early morning flight, I just wanted a nice, clean reasonably priced hotel to spend the night. This hotel was an excellent choice and I would definitely stay there if I find my self...

We stayed at the Holiday Inn at the tail end of our three week trip of East Africa just before we caught a flight back home. We only stayed one night in Dar just so we could get a glimpse / feel of the city and catch the next night's flight. The hotel was decent 3-4 star feel, the rooms... More

This was the second time that I was staying here. Its convenient for me as I was working with a UN group down the street and Dar traffic can be very bad during rush hour. While the hotel handled the problems I had in a very professional manner, I think it worthwhile to point them out so they can be... More

An indication of my affection for this Hotel can be gleaned from the fact that I lived here from September to December 2011, in addition to several weeks in June and July 2010. For a start, the Hotel is strategically located close to the core of Dar es Salaam’s business district. Many key government offices, ministries and the major banks... More

Nice spacious rooms, courteous and very helping staff, good food spread, average gym (but still not bad) and decent choices of bars; overall a good experience at the cost that these guys charge. Locationally very good(traffic can be bad in peak hours but then you are staying in the heart of the city).

Regarding the Air-Conditioner; indeed if the power fluctuates the units are automatically reset. This is to protect the unit from mayor damage and non- functioning.
