Stayed 2 nights with colleagues on a business trip, early Feb 2012. Standard room was clean & adequate, but although functional, the bathroom decoration/tiling really had been done to a "slap-dash" standard. Breakfast was nothing special, but adequate. Roof bar was nice, but windy in the evenings. Food can be ordered from restaurant menu to eat at the roof bar.... More

Kinda clean, modern chain hotel with nicer rooms. Nothing else to distinguish it. Paid a rate of $160 a night which seemed a little high for such a poor country, although I admit I am not an expert on lodging in Dar. Pros- Cleaner, nicer rooms with good water pressure. Firm beds. Nice windowed lobby. No security hassle going in... More

I enjoyed my stay at the Holiday Inn Dar Es Salaam very much. I was greeted with a cool towel upon arrival (much needed after a 40 day backpacking journey). The receptionists checked me in early and also arranged for a late check out, pedicure, and airport transfer at my request. The restaurant while a bit expensive but had a... More

As previously stated here, the craftsmanship that built the place isn't the best, but the hotel is perfectly functional and I found the room to be adequate and clean. If you pay slightly more for a business room you get use of the business lounge which gives you somewhere to sit and work that is not your room. Well worth... More

We booked a room here with "executive room privilages". The extra few dollars were well worth it. It gave free access to their business center, which has internet computers, and, free soda pops and desserts. It is also has a t.v. lounge. The hotel is centrally located and only a few blocks from the waterfront. We walked to the nearby... More

The hotel is modern, but finishes in the room poor craftsmanship. Phone didn't work, bathroom door open and hits toilet, odd configuration, but pod-like style is nice. Service at reception was good, restaurant on first floor service was horrible. More

Unfortunately, our stay at Holiday Inn, Dar Es Salaam became a very unpleasant experience when we stayed there in December 2011. We had booked our rooms through hotels.com and everything was paid in advance. However, when checking out the next day, the staff greeted us with a fee of an additional 50USD + 5% service charge per room! They claimed... More

The infrastructure of the hotel is quite good, the rooms are good as well , the service is terrible and the waitress at night are rude, they are not interested in please the client, room service is the worst as it takes for ever to get something, they have a decent internet service but you have to pay extra for...

I stayed here for 3 nights in January 2012. The hotel is typical Holiday Inn and the rooms are really as nice as the photos suggest. We got safe parking under the building for our vehicle. The coffee shop on the 1st floor has the best coffee in Tanzania. The rooftop bar is nice for an evening cocktail, but you... More
