Hotels near JM Mall, Dar es salaam

The resort was definitely much smaller than it appeared in the pictures, but it was very nice indeed. Beautiful clean white sand, a lovely relaxing vibe, and generally pleasant surroundings. There is not much to do apart from swimming for my six-year-old, but that in itself was enjoyable. It was peak season, therefore it was a little bit crowded, however not to the point of total discomfort. The staff were pleasant and accommodating, and the restaurant food was mostly very tasty. Our one suggestion was well received, and likely to be rectified soonest. Nice breakfast spread - included all the stations, but the hot food selection could be a little more exciting. It would be great if the hotel itself could organize one or two activities. There was a volleyball and an attempt at a game the guests tried to pioneer which never quite happened. The rooms size is sufficient, nice big bed, my only complaint would be the fact that the fridge can be difficult to locate as it is very strangely positioned and hidden behind some panels. The central air conditioning seemed to be off in certain places, so it was hot in the corridors, fortunately the room air conditioning works very well. There isn't really anything in the way of fast food places and restaurants in close proximity, so only the hotel restaurant. This is fine for a few nights, but would probably get tedious for a longer stay. We enjoyed our stay overall, and would recommend and visit again!

Poor service at the reception, I was asking the reception to help me print several pages of documents on 6th March afternoon, the girls at the reception said no and ask me to send the file via email to the hotel. And the ironic is: printer exactly aside the reception. What a wonderful service!

I felt the security measures were very well implemented, which I believe is crucial in Africa. The hotel facilities were also quite good. I even watched a few World Cup matches on the TV, which left a great impression.

It was a good hotel for the few days we were there. I used the gym but the equipment is very dated. Their bathroom it’s also very dated. The service was always very friendly and efficient. It’s located a little away from everything but just a short ride away from the downtown core.

The room was decent, and the hotel generally has good facilities for Africa. However, you must be careful with the front desk. They offered to arrange a taxi, then claimed someone would be sharing the ride, and then tricked me into taking an unlicensed taxi. It was actually hotel staff who did this, which was very dangerous. I gave the driver a tip and got out as quickly as possible. Who knows where they would have taken me late at night? It was extremely unsafe.

Well it cool but the bad thing is that they had to refund me all because they have a combine booking for the next day and u had to start looking for a new hotel. SMH but there service and there Reseptions are friendly

it a nice hotel,clean and quiet,traffic is also very convenient , near to the coastline, 5minutes by drive

The facilities nearby are very convenient. For breakfast, you get a voucher at the front desk and then go to the Shaxian Snacks next door. The food is simple but decent. There's also a Chinese supermarket and a gym nearby.

Fantastic location. Lovely hotel design. Lots of space. I've styed here a few times in last couple of years and always loved it. Usually there's some minor malfunction with a room, which is not unusual in most hotels globally but especially Tanzania. This time however, it was bad. There were 3 of us in two rooms. Toilets had not been cleaned in either room when moving in. One so bad, we had to move rooms. Broken light bulbs were not replaced for days, bathroom fittings were falling apart, My room Safe did not work and never got fixed after 5 days - not ”couldn't be fixed”, just did not even bother to try). Air Con in one room broke down. One minute they said they were just going to do it (this was 1/2 a day following reporting it), then said they had already done it and the other person was wrong, but actually it had still not been fixed. Eventually, it took 10 minutes to fix it. I hate to complain like this because I've always loved staying at this hotel. The staff have been great, as have the facilities and location. With better management, staff training, and budget for better maintenance, this hotel could again become one of the best in Dar Es Salaam. I am hopeful it will happen as I would like to stay again.

The service was satisfactory, the staff listened to it was quite nice
