The room rates are just okay compared to other hotels in Dar,This is a nice basic hotel; clean rooms, with safe, fridge, AC, fan, free wifi and a computer you can use in the reception area for a fee. They do a nice breakfast of eggs, fresh homemade bread, cheese, pancakes, good yoghurt, fresh fruit, fresh fruit juice.

This is the fifth time that I've stayed here, so that's something -- I am here for a week or two at a time. It's spotlessly clean, friendly, a green oasis, and great to come back to after a heavy day. Breakfast (and by now I've done it 30+ times) starts with fresh fruit and some home-squeezed juice. There's cheese,... More

We'd read great reviews of this hotel and were looking for a small, quiet setting for our stay in Dar. As soon as we arrived in the charming garden setting, and entered our cute, and spotlessly clean room, it seemed to be everything we were looking for! Except it ended up being anything BUT charming. First, there is a massive... More

We spent one night at the Swiss Garden Hotel on the way to Zansibar. The rooms and the hotel/garden area were clean without any frills. The breakfast doesn't deserve the name breakfast. Only plain toast but no fresh fruit, bread spreats, eggs or anything like that were offered. Not the kind of start in a new day one would want.... More

As far as I am concerned, I would not stay anywhere else in Dar Es Salaam - why bother when you have the Swiss Garden Hotel? After a long trip through India, this place was a haven to me. It was extremely clean, had reliable though slightly slow internet service, and the dinner was very good. It was $75 per... More

This small hotel is truly an oasis in the midst of a large city. Clean, comfortable and very friendly staff. It is not backpacker priced but very reasonable for a large city hotel. My husband and I agree with the other positive reviews of this hotel so I will not repeat their message. My only advice for anyone traveling in... More

Stayed here with a friend for our last 2 nights in Tanzania. It was the most expensive hotel we had stayed in for our whole trip in Tanzania (around $95 per room) and although the hotel was nice, we felt that it was a little bit overpriced. The hotel does feel like a little oasis located fairly centrally in Dar... More

Thanks to Trip Advisor Reviews, I sourced SGH for my overnights in Dar on way through and back from Zanzibar. I was after a secure, respectable, nice but non luxurious hotel for this purpose at a reasonable midrange rate. It looked really nice on their web site and this is a true depiction .... it is my idea of a... More
