Only 5 minutes from the airport, very friendly personnel at reception, Anna kindly contacted the airport for us when our car transfer didnt show up the next morning, and arranged for a taxi to pick us up and take us there. Nice and clean room, with air con and ceiling fan. Unluckily the same friendliness wasnt shared at the restaurant,... More

I was arriving at the Ferry terminal in the early evening and departing first thing in the morning from the airport so this was an obvious option. The online booking was easy to process and they were suppossed to send a taxi to pick me up. That didn't happen so I made my own way there. The location is dicey-... More

Closest hotel to airport, which was useful for one night, with a late arrival into Dar Airport and an early departure the following morning. Reminded me of minimalist college halls of residence, or hostel accommodation, from student days. Very basic, no frills, but tremendous value for money and conveniently close to the airport, which you could walk in 10/15 minutes... More

After flight delays in Heathrow, I lost my reservation at the Movenpick - so I was referred here. Well - All I can say is that it served it purpose, I just needed a place to crash because I couldn't get a connector to Stone Town until the next day. So for the whopping $27 - I figured why not....

Nasty and horrible. Saggy mattress that looked like it had been slept on since time immemorial. Mosquitos everywhere - and the net with holes in didn't help keep them away. Towels in the bathroom looked unwashed (as did the bedsheets - I slept, sort of - fully dressed). Bathroom generally unclean. Reception unhelpful (it took 30 minutes of me standing... More

A very cheap and clean option for staying over very close to Dar airport. It is a basic transit hotel with everything you need for a one night stay. Reception staff were lovely. Although we waited a long time for dinner to be served. Other than that it was a good option for us with an early flight the next... More

We stayed at the Transit Motel overnight before leaving to Moshi the next day. It is a very cheap accommodation (possibly the cheapest at 27$ for a room). Ideal for transit since it is walkable distance from the DAR airport! Although we took a cab since we had a lot of equipment with us. Taxi costs 5000 TSh (About 3... More

We arrived at this hotel at 11 pm and expected the kitchen to be closed, but no way: Apparently it was open all nigtht. We had some (simple but good food), a bottle of beer, went to bed and was up 3.am in the morning. We did not see much of the hotel, but the room was clean, though very... More

We stopped here since our flight from Selous brought us to Dar at 11am, and our next flight was at 5pm. Could not imagine spending 6 hours at the Dar airport, since we had been there a few days ago. The rooms are small but clean, the bar/restaurant has some basic food items. The free WiFi is good.

It is across the street from Dar Es Salaam airport. But you don't want to walk on the alley as it is horrible. The hotel is gated and good to wait for an early morning flight. Room is clean but we had to kill 8 mosquito. I believe it came from the gap between the door and the floor. We... More
