Very spacious room with large kingsize bed, two desks and a balcony. Was ideal as office, while in Dar. WiFi working well in the room and the lobby area. A/C worked very well throughout. Staff was very friendly and professional. Excellent coffe and cake corner. Breakfast buffet was good. The best place to sit was the large terrasse overseeing the... More

We stayed two times in this hotel and in terms of price/value it is a very poor deal in Dar. There are various other hotels out there in Dar which are of better choice. The rooms seem to be very run down and maintenance does seem only to a minor extent. Air con makes noise like a truck is running... More

The Management wishes to apologise for any inconvenience experienced during your stay. With a large conference in - house the lunch buffet for conferencing guests had been completely finished by 2:45pm. The a la' carte menu is available for guests not involved with the conference, and this should have been presented to you. I fully understand that this was frustrating... More

The double tree is a very nice hotel -- clean, friendly helpful staff, next door to the Slipway market. I stayed here for business, so didn't know what to expect. Not sure I would have paid if my agency hadn't been footing the bill.

Awful experience with the worst service I've received anywhere - unresponsive check-in and even worse check-out. Meals are average but made worse by the service. The only thing going for this hotel is the location which is great.

Thank you for your valued feedback. Your commendations have been passed onto all our team members. The tsunami warning had been downgraded very soon after the initial alert and therefore we did not wish to alarm guests unnecessarily. I apologise that you experienced discomfort, but we do take the safety of our guests very seriously, and the executive management were... More

This hotel is situated in great location, on the safe Oysterbay peninsular. Great views at the rear overlooking the lagoon, and generally well-sized rooms. But its a disappointing member of the DT group, because it doesn't come up to the normal Hilton standards. Take a look at how many people are in the restaurant in the evenings, or frequent the...

The room and bathroom are large and spacious with the most comfortable beds! The staff are very polite and the hotel very silent. There is free internet for guests (found out about this as I was leaving which was a bit disappointing). The swimming pool are and jetty are very beautiful at night.
