"It is a very quiet well placed little hotel, well looked after and with very helpful staff. Unfortunately we did not try the dinner as we were going out but the menu looked excellent and the breakfast was very good. The room was clean and well kept. Unfortunately also we did not try the other amenities like the gym and swimming pool but we will certainly stay there again so as to enjoy them as well as the dinner. I think the price was also very fair. Richard Mabala"

Top Dar Free Market Mall Hotel Reviews

Southern Sun Dar es Salaam

8/10 Good

"A lovely hotel located in the embassy and consulate area, next to the botanical gardens, and a few minutes walk to the beach road. Only 10 mins walk to the Akemi revolving restaurant which is a must go to place for the great views, especially after sunset, and very reasonable prices. The hotel is very well appointed and clean, and staff very pleasant and efficient. Breakfast was exceptional with great choices for every taste. The restaurant meals in the evening were fresh and tasty. The pool area is well maintained and even had visiting peacocks in the evening, which was a treat. Though it was our first visit to the hotel I would recommend and would definitely stay again when in Dar es Salaam especially when it's only 20 mins to the airport."

"Shower flooded in the first day. Sorted pretty quickly but not a great start"

Dar Es Salaam Serena Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I got the nice room in the renovated part and the room is great. The hotel staff is very helpful and they help will all the requests. The breakfast choices are amazing and the food in their Jahazi restaurant is delicious 👍"

Golden Tulip Dar Es Salaam

8/10 Good

"The hotel was pleasant. Very clean and the staff were helpful - I was moved to a sea-facing room when I requested it. I would recommend this hotel to others who are visiting Oyster Bay in Dar es Salaam. The one issue I encountered was finding a working contact email address, which I require in order to request an invoice of my stay there. Otherwise, really great hospitality."

Protea Hotel by Marriott Dar es Salaam Courtyard

8/10 Good

"A relatively nice place but needs some significant updating and TLC. Bed linen and sheets are very poor quality and seem very old. Lots of spots around the room with wires hanging, or plaster no painted over etc.. Rather unusual shower made out of doors! Location is good for most things"

Colosseum Hotel & Fitness Club

10/10 Excellent

"I highly recommend this place. Great place to stay and staff is very helpful. I would definitely go back there."
