Miinukset: We needed to stay indoors and rest on the Saturday morning. But this was constantly interrupted by loud, noisy and boisterous staff in the corridors cleaning other rooms on the floor we were on. We found this really annoying. Not to mention a couple of knocks to find out when the room could be cleaned in spite of the DND sign at the door.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: I stayed here for 6 nights. Their service and hospitality is outstanding. Starting from the security at the gate till the manger on duty, everyone are very friendly and Happy to serve. Even before checking in they have just received me very well and offered a welcome drink understanding the pain or long distance travelers. We can feel the empathy in there service. The kitchen staffs gone extra mile to serve my dinner even are there service hours with no hesitating. Even housekeeping staff was having her own power to decide for giving extra Complimentory water bottle when asked for with no silly additional approval's :). There was two incidents if forget my cash pouch in the room and still my money was safe.. Breakfast buffet was very will panned it was multi cuisine with good options for Indians. The manger was so helpful in giving us insights about the city and giving contacts that can help us on our line of business, which was an extra mile. As I checking out in the mid-night they haveb provided me a complimentary dinner even without asking for it. These guys they know what they are doing and they are doing it in the best possible way. Overall my trip was so successful and this team has their contribution towards it. Thank you guys

Miinukset: Internet connection could have been better

Plussat: Very nice big comfy rooms in the middle of the centre. We could do everything by walking. But the staff here is the best part ! Very helpful, always very nice.

Miinukset: Not issuing final payment bill and when I asked they said it’s our policy no to issue final bills I think that’s not fair they should issue me final bill so I can know what I paid for and it’s common practices in all hotels

Plussat: This hotel is right in the middle of the business District. It is walking distance from everything , you can go to Kariakoo market by walk , or to Znazibar Ferry and there are always many modes of transport. The rooms are well appointed and very spacious. The furniture is not modern but for me it added to the charm of the place. The terrace was immense and the view awe inspiring especially in the evening. The staff ware absolutely wonderful, especially the reception staff, very efficient and kind.

Miinukset: the restaurant is huge but badly lit, it looked like it needed work. Breakfast was very basic. Electric plugs in the room are not easily accessible, although plenty. Bed linen needs upgrading. Bathroom had a nice multi headed shower, however only normal shower was functional.

Plussat: Very private and self-sufficient rooms. Good location if you're into checking out some of the best Indian food in Dar (10 to 10 is prime!)

Miinukset: The bed was rock hard, but we were tired and it ended up being just fine.

Plussat: Staff is very welcoming and helpful Executive suites are very spacious Good quality food at affordable prices, especially the Saturday night Indian buffet It feels good and safe to come back to the hotel after a busy day in town Genuine and authentic decoration White-clean sheets and towels

Plussat: Breakfast was superb with varieties. Staff were very friendly and helpful, from the security to the receptionists. They made me realise that Uber service was available and this saved me a lot of money on taxis. The location was close to all the places that I needed to go to and I was okay with mosques around. I enjoyed listening to the Adhan every morning. Very spacious and clean room. Everything I needed for my self catering was available close by.

Miinukset: The airport pickup. Obviously, there was mis-communication about my ETA.

Miinukset: Ravintolan ruoka todella suolaista

Plussat: The hotel location is great , most popular places are within a walking distance. The receptionists handled our booking in a very professional way. The 24 hour security was impressive. Rooms very comfortable and breakfast was very good with all the choices we wanted.

Miinukset: None

Plussat: Hotel is in a really nice location. The staff is really nice and friendly and helpful. They have an amazing terrace lounge with amazing view and a really nice place to spent your time there. Rooms are very clean

Miinukset: The hotel even though has a really nice option and selection of food, still every time you order you are not sure of what they will bring..Over the times i was in there, every time all orders where different

Plussat: Got upgrade to better room. Nice location and good snack corner, with simple, but good quality food. Ver friendly staff.

Miinukset: The heater in the shower gives only hot water for short period of time.

Plussat: It is in an easy location from the ferry and the rooms are nice and large. It is clean and the bed is very comfy. The porter was very nice and friendly

Miinukset: It's not a particularly nice area to stay and when we ate there in the evening, it took two hours and there wasn't a lot of food available. For our second visit, the room smelt and they said I never called about it when I did. Also, the reception team were laughing and it seems that this issue was already known. It was noisy during the morning call to prayer and it was a disappointing experience all up.

Plussat: The breakfast was good and location way its good

Miinukset: I did not like the way the house cleaner can enter your room without your permission especially in the morning before check out time.

Plussat: I liked the room, the service, being close to everything, etc.

Miinukset: The loud prayer calls in the morning. The hotel is unfortunately near a mosque.

Plussat: Hyvä ja tilava huone. Sijainti lähellä lauttaterminaalia, kävellen noin viiden minuutin matka. Sijainti keskustassa, joten hälinää riittää, mutta meitä se ei häirinnyt sillä emme liikkuneet pimeällä ulkona. Very nice and modern room, wifi worked very good! Staff in reseption were very nice. Location was near the ferry terminal (walking distance about 5min).

Miinukset: Could be littele noisy during prayer times, but that didint bother us.

Miinukset: 2 hotels with the same name so close together, confuses everyone

Plussat: Very comfortable and clean hotel and the staff were sohelpful and friendly.

Miinukset: It took 50 minutes for the restaurant to serve me a pizza but it was a fabulous one, when it eventually arrived.

Plussat: Location is not bad, rooms are spacious.

Miinukset: Chairs in the room are very uncomfortable. There is no plug point near bed. Housekeeping staff did not change the chairs even after constant requests and reminders.

Plussat: The beds

Miinukset: Was being told the manager will contact me they didnt. There was so much noise in the room when i told them they said this side there is no sound. The food was disgraceful called the restaurant fhey didnt come anyhow. Filled a complaint still no answer from them.

Plussat: Friendly service and good cateering available around the clock.

Miinukset: Better standard of room located at 11 floor. WiFi was not woeking smoothly. Higher located rooms were renovated, and offer better conditions.

Plussat: Breakfast

Miinukset: Water pressure in the bathroom

Plussat: The room, facilities, cleanliness, location

Miinukset: Breakfast not much to choose from

Plussat: I liked the staff. Reinfrida and colleagues at the front desk were super helpful and cheerful. They made my stay very comfortable. The hotel also gave me a room upgrade as was indicated in my booking. Some hotels simply refuse to do so (in the pretext of unavailability or something else).

Miinukset: The breakfast choices can be limiting. Also, the location for me is 50/50. Great views of the harbour (as the name suggests of course). However, it is in a busy building that can be off putting and difficult to navigate (without a porter). I also ordered for a meal from the 24 hr Grand Central Restaurant. Waited for an hour and ten minutes then called, only to be told my meal is not available :(

Miinukset: Halusimme pitää huoneen yli check out ajan. Veloitus 45 USD (tingitty hinta). Kuntosalissa ei toiminut ilmastointi.

Plussat: The people were friendly

Miinukset: The location was horrible. To do anything required expensive transportation.

Plussat: Friendly staff and distance to the Kariakoo market and other key places.

Plussat: The hotel is conveniently located in town for my work.

Miinukset: Not much

Plussat: Staff is very coperative.only room size for single person is conjusted.

Plussat: Good location

Miinukset: They have good Wifi

Plussat: the easy way to communicate with the staff and their help

Miinukset: some facilities as TV and air conditioning were missing, not working

Plussat: Nice and clean, room was small but sufficient for me. AC worked fine and WiFi too. Breakfast was fine. Well located to use the Dart. Staff was helpful with booking a taxi for the airport in the middle of the night.

Miinukset: The area gets a bit sketchy after dark and there are few options for restaurants in the area.

Plussat: The waiter at the hotel was very friendly. He made sure we are happy

Plussat: Very friendly staff, room was nice and clean, WiFi

Miinukset: Bit of noise from the traffic, but then my room on the traffic Side

Plussat: Everything was good. But I mistaken packed the towel in my bag when I was leaving because I came with a similar white towel. Right now I sincerely want to return it.

Miinukset: More menu on the breakfast list. I didn't have much options to choose from really.

Plussat: Clean room

Miinukset: Good food

Plussat: The room was excellent: spacious, comfortable and with excellent facilities such as USB charging, Bluetooth audio and HDMI input. A doorbell on the room is a nice touch. Staff were helpful and attentive. Food was excellent, and the Bar was great with a good atmosphere. Live pianist at Breakfast.

Miinukset: Niggles: A series of brief powercuts (none more than 3 minutes - welcome to Dar es Salaam!) seemed to break my TV - after flipping through a couple of channels it would just freeze - no picture, just the menu, and even the power on/off button wouldn't respond. The only way to recover was to power off the "master switch" (conveniently and annoyingly located next to the bathroom lightswitch) which would reset it. Fortunately, an HDMI jack is provided on the desk, so I was able to play some entertainment from my laptop. The master switch for the whole room being in the same bank of switches as the light switches took a little bit of getting used to. The room had two air conditioners, with separate control panels: remember to set these to the same temperature or (if in Auto) they will fight each other noisily, as one of my colleagues found. I set mine both identically and on auto, and they were quiet and the temperature was very consistent. Laundry service ringing the doorbell at 0850h on Saturday morning after a night out was probably not the best timing, although also my fault for failing to display the "Do not Disturb" on my door handle. At breakfast there is a live piano player, who is pretty good, although the piano has been heavily muted in an effort to control the volume level, and it sounds a little dead. I felt the piano would have been a lot more appropriate in the evening than at breakfast - whilst it's pleasant, and not especially loud, it can be a little intrusive if dining with colleagues : at the far end of the room, it was a lovely background to breakfast, so choose your seat wisely!

Miinukset: The airport-pickup price was extremely expensive.

Plussat: Great breakfast, central location and staff went out of their way to help with any issues.

Miinukset: Non-smoking room had evidence of smoking (tried two rooms), and finishes in the actual were not to the level anticipated.

Plussat: Apart from its "easy to remember" name, the hotel appears to be just the same as it was when we first stayed in 2009. Dinner and breakfast are served in a large room on the first floor and there is lots of choice, although my pepper omelette with a sausage on the side turned into a pepper and sausage omelette! There is also a Thai restaurant on the top floor. Rooms are clean, quiet and comfortable and the bathroom facilities are very good.

Miinukset: When we stayed here 10 years ago, it was simply the New Africa. It now seems not to know whether it's a Sheraton or Marriott hotel. We were given upgrade to from the harbour view we had previously confirmed to a view of the building next door but as it was a one-night stay we didn't mind. We were warned that two beds had been installed and this created something of an obstacle course. Soon after our arrival maintenance staff came to adjust the front door. Later by a further two staff came to "check the status of the room."

Plussat: Service from the staff is excellent and welcoming

Miinukset: With the on going renovations, the Breakfast room has been closed and moved to the 9th floor. Stunning view of the Harbour but the quality of the breakfast has gone down a bit. Also I am a frequent traveller to this hotel and I still had to pay my hotel booking amount in advance instead of settling my entire bill on departure as previously done.

Plussat: good breakfast , quite location in the center of dar es salaam, friendly, client oriented staff, restaurant is very good, food is very delicious.
