“Sloeep Inn - budget hotel with good facilities”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 September 2010

We stayed at this hotel while on holiday and visiting freinds and family. The hotel staff were helpful and courteous. The location of the hotel is fairly central in Dar-es-salaam, so it is easy to get around. The main market of Kariakoo is within a walking distance, however the market is very very busy. It is easy to get a taxi from outside the hotel. There are two parts to the hotel the old wing and new. The rooms are fairly small but have AC and fans (no mosquito nets). The rooms are ensuite with wetroom showers and also have a fridge and a small TV. On the whole this is a good mid range budget hotel. The buffet breakfast included in the price was adequate for us. They provided some fresh fruit and juice. They also provided some hot food (omelettes, toasts) with tea and coffee.

“cannot stay here again”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 July 2010

I've stayed at this hotel for the last five years. Unfortunately my recent visit will be my last.
1) Mattresses sink in the middle to almost nothing
2) Pillows are very poor
3) It is important to realise that this hotel has rooms with doors between them so even if you book a single or twin room its as if a total stranger is sharing your personal space because everything can be heard going on next door (in my case spitting in the shower, TV noise, radio noise followed by the groans associated with you know what and then came the snoring. I cannot recommend this hotel anymore. The breakfast is terrible.

“Don't even think about staying here”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 June 2010

I have travelled extensively across East Africa and this is the worst hotel in this price range in the region. To summarize:
- The staff is unfriendly at best.
- The hotel’s official taxi drivers are extremely rude and overcharge.
- Valuables deposited at the reception are not kept safe.
- The restaurant is not serving food apart from cold chips.
- Breakfast is substandard. My wife waited ½ h to get a plate for the buffet.

My conclusion is, don’t even think about staying at Sleep Inn Hotel.

“I still recommend it although we did not like it”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 March 2010

It is not a nice hotel but given our experiences in other hotels in Dar, we think this is a good budget option and have stayed here twice. There are really not many good mid range options in Dar.

The rooms offer (relatively) western style comfort for a low price (we paid $50 per night). it is clean and all the equipments (shower, TV, mini-fridge etc.) work fine.

They have WIFI in the rooms for about $3 per day

Unfortunately the service is terrible (except for one guy, who was good). The other front desk girls were very impatient and kept trying to rip us off in every chance they got (do not let them calculate the rate into shillings in the calculator without you looking, they will lie to you about the number! punch in the numbers yourself).

The included breakfast is very bad

Overall I think we will still go back there if we are in Dar next time.
