⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An Exceptional Stay in Tanzania alhamdulillah — Highly Recommended! Our stay at this hotel in Tanzania was absolutely wonderful. From the moment we arrived, we received above-and-beyond hospitality. The entire staff was professional, kind, welcoming, and incredibly attentive to our needs as a family.

10/10 Excellent

I really like the property and rooms, the pics online dont do it justice. The beds are so firm, next long trip in dar es salaam, I will book for the bed alone. Pleasant surprise room 410 has a great view of the neighborhood and the sunset is ROMANTIC. I love the spacious bathroom with a window. The balcony is cute as well. Its a small room but if you typically just use the room to wind down and sleep, it works perfect. I wasn't able to try the restaurants and breakfast. The marble floors...

What an amazing hotel! Very clean and modern. Our room was spacious. The staff was beyond friendly and helpful. There is a wide range of choice for breakfast. For the first time in years I had a swim in a swimming pool and I loved it. Beautiful lobby and amazing art. Which you should see even if you do not stay in this hotel. Just go there to have a drink/meal and enjoy. We checked out in the morning to walk around in the city, but because we had a very late flight we wanted to change our...

Protea Hotel by Marriott Dar es Salaam Courtyard

Kivukoni

10/10 Excellent

With the road construction in Dar, Protea was not close to the airport, but well worth the drive! This is a top notch hotel! The unnamed hotel close to the airport in Dar is in poor condition; but Protea exceeded our expectations! The courtyard is beautiful with the tropical plants and swimming pool. The free breakfast had the most variety I have ever been offered at any hotel, from American food, to Dutch food, to local food, to Indian food. I have never seen such a huge buffet for breakfast!...

The combination of outstanding food and...
