Hotels near Kigamboni, Dar es salaam

"Charismatic front desk staff. Muhammed was very affable and Luka always willing to help. Just a short walk to relevant places and restaurants in Stone Town."

"A good hotel for its price range with a beautiful view of Dar es Salaam port. The room was clean, exactly as pictured and described. A well-deserved 4-star rating. We needed a room for an overnight stay before our safari and booked a room with breakfast. The breakfast wasn't varied, but it was enough to fill you up. Upon returning from the safari, we requested an extension with late check-out for an additional fee. The staff were friendly. City attractions are within walking distance. Taxis are easy to find near the hotel. Overall, we are satisfied."

"The overall standards are pretty much on par with what you'd find back home in China. Being able to sleep soundly and comfortably in Africa is a huge plus for me. The hotel is centrally located, which is convenient, but it can also be quite noisy. The room wasn't large, but it was well-equipped with everything I needed."

"My mum and daughter stayed at the hotel for two days, they like the place and the breakfast. One comment is that, better to inform the guests beforehand that the rooms compliment are Not free of charge."

"I only spent one night at this hotel, but really liked it and will return. My room was small, but clean and comfortable. The dinner and the breakfast at the restaurant was good. The staff were friendly. "

"Excellent stay with comfortable rooms, great facilities, and a welcoming atmosphere. The staff were professional, attentive, and always ready to assist, making the experience truly enjoyable."
