Rooms are very small, but service and breakfast make this hotel a great value! The pool was well maintained too. More

My colleague and I stayed for only one night. Our rooms were on the ground floor and perfectly nice. I was sceptical about the neverending ala carte menu, but the food was very good andthe prices reasonable. Many people from outside the hotel came for dinner, which confirmed for us that this is a very good restaurant. More

I spent 4 days here and loved the place due to its staff, ambiance and location. The rates are also reasonable enough for the level of service provided. They have a small but nice swimming pool and a well equipped gym too. The food is probably where they need to improve on...the buffet are not that great! More

I would recommend this hotel for several reasons. Firstly, the internet access via WIFI was excellent and it is free!; The room had a fan as well as an aircon which ensured a pleasant temperature in the room. The room was clean and tidy and housekeeping ensured that everything was in the right place. Overall, I found the staff very... More

Low rise, 2-storey, English courtyard style. Everything you need on a business trip, an... More

This is a relatively small hotel with a friendly staff and a wonderful center courtyard. Breakfast is included in the room rate - which is lovely. I've stayed here several times for a week to 10 days at a time, for business. Each room has individual tea service and a refrigerator. These are golden. The room service menu is diverse... More

I highly recommend the Courtyard. Small and friendly, with nice 'colonial' style rooms with ceiling fans as well as aircon, mostly overlooking the leafy courtyard and swimming pool. Surprisingly efficient wifi internet. A great spot if you don't need to be in the heart of downtown Dar. Restaurand a bit gloomy and overly-chilled so put on mosquito spray and have... More
