The Colosseum is one of the best values for a business hotel one can find. The rooms are spacious. The buffet breakfast is fantastic (best selection of fresh tropical fruit you will find). Access to the adjacent Colosseum fitness club, especially the swimming pool, is a major plus. On the down side, service is mixed. Hotel management would truly improve... More

The Colosseum Hotel in Dar es Salaam was a pleasant surprise! Very grandeose and a little barren with high ceilings and wide corridors (which were noisy at times) it nevertheless was comfortable, clean and resonably priced. The restaurant was good value for money and served a wide variety of well presented and tasty food and is diverse enough to cater... More

Great room - very spacious and clean. The staff are really helpful and will assist with any of your ad-hoc requests. I found the food good as well - had a great lamb shank! The gym is excellent - lots of machines and you don't have to wait in a queue. The pool is a bit small for a hotel,... More

The fitness center has modern equipment and enough space that you don't have to wait for a machine (or for... More

I stayed at the Colosseum Hotel for 7 nights on a business trip. This property is located in a clean and safe (and sort of) upscale area of the city (Oyster Bay). The hotel is a clean and the rooms are ok by Dar es Salaam standards. I was told it started as a some sort of Gymn,( which is... More

I stayed at the Colosseum Hotel for business over a period of two weeks. While the rooms were spacious and comfortable, the front desk and breakfast staff left much to be desired. Although they listed breakfast hours as 7am - 10:30am I was surprised to find them breaking down the breakfast bar at 9:30am on a weekday. I had to... More
