Really did not enjoy my time here, 2 nights, on the way to Arusha and on the way back to JHB. First nights room was bad. Duvet cover dirty, pillow case dirty and the water pressure in shower poor. Aircon not working properly. The food was below average as well. Close to the airport but the traffic is a nightmare.... More

There is not much to add to the previous two dots (poor) ratings! The hotel is just not worth the money. In addition to that the hotel tries to make money whenever possible, for instance selling overpriced internet vouchers when the internet does not work. On top of that I was billed twice on my credit card. There are much... More

Was visiting Dar on business for a couple of weeks and was put up here thinking it was closer to where I had to visit. The rooms are spacious but needs renovation in the near future. Midway between airport and city center. Ground floor has some shops and a conference center. You have to pay separately for wi-fi which was... More

Recently spent five days here for a conference for work and found the hotel to be very subpar in many regards. I will agree that the price is not bad at $95 per night for a single, and the room furniture decor is also nice. Beyond that things start to go downhill. 1. The wifi is beyond terrible. Even if...

Did not enjoy our stay at the Blue Pearl on our recent trip to Tanzania and Ethiopia. The staff was not helpful and the manager overcharged us for a trip to the airport. The rooms were spacious and relatively clean. We found it difficult and expensive to get around and there was nothing within walking distance.

I recently spent a week at the hotel and I was pleasantly surprised by the accommodation standards and service levels. The hotel is well situated close to the town (especially when traffic is a nightmare) and boosts a 13 story building, complete with a fantastic pool on the top floor! The rooms are clean, liveable and tastefully furnished. The food... More
