You can see my old review from May 4, 2011. Since that writing the hotel has not only changed hands, but changed vision. The little things that make a hotel personal are missing. The suites are to have a couple glasses, flatware and such should you have room service. Better check before ordering food. Glasses take longer than pizza to... More

It costs 119 USD all inclusive in one of their smallest units, the studio room, in january. We rush through this hotel, between our ferry coming from Zanzibar in early afternoon and our late night flight back home. Sorry to be very short this time, we really only spend a few hours here and find that this place does the... More

Harbour view suites are a welcome oasis in the chaos of this large city. Clean and spacious rooms. Staff are very welcoming and always remember you from previous visits. The Boddles restaurant serves a nice meal and has a good outlook. Not loads of character but somehow I always return here. More

Used the Harbor View Suites as a dayroom for a few hours before heading to the airport for my journey home. Reception is up on the 11th floor. Very courteous. Very modern. The room/suite was spacious with a kitchenette with a mini fridge, small stove, microwave and small table. The living room had a sofa, large desk, and flat screen... More

After backpacking through Africa for 3 weeks, staying in $5 a night hostels, taking an extremely jarring and choppy 6 hour bus ride from Kenya to Tanzania, and missing our ferry to Zanzibar, we decided to treat ourselves to a nice evening at The Harbour View Suites. We walked around Dar Es Salaam with heavy backpacks looking for a decent... More

I travel to Dar at least twice a year and always stay at harbour view suites. Since they have added the roof top pool, and Boodles restaurant its even more convenient. Plus since Ive now developed a relationship with them I get really good deals on my hotel rates. Great service, good food and very conveniently located. More

Since this was my first time to Tanzania, I didn't know what to expect. What I got was a beautifully done room overlooking the harbor, superior service from the staff, plus a good value. I tried to book there a second time but the hotel was filled up, unfortunately. I do wish the hotel were on a less busy street... More

I used to stay in this hotel all the time when I lived in Tanzania. The location, price, quality of service cannot be beat. Now, a year later the hotel has finished its expansion adding more rooms and a rooftop restaurant/pool/bar. The breakfast area is actually pretty nice, with a fantastic view of the harbor and a good selection of... More

At the price, less than half the rate of the established business hotels like Kempinski and Movenpick, could scarcely believe how good the room was - spacious, comfortable modern, great shower, great kitchenette, excellent tv, beautiful view - probably as good if not better than any other hotel i've seen in Dar. Location was at least as good as any... More
