“This beachfront property struck me as a relaxed spot with great views; the Swahili architecture definitely adds to the atmosphere, and the multiple outdoor pools and gardens looked inviting. For both vacationers and business travellers, it seems remarkably well-equipped, especially given the function venue and on-site spa. Overall, it seems like a solid choice in Dar es Salaam.”

Excellent Stay by the Sea
clean roomhelpful staffconvenient locationkey fob
My room was VERY clean. The air conditioning provided necessary relief from the heat. Staff members were consistently courteous and helpful. I appreciated the convenient location near shops and restaurants. I did encounter a minor inconvenience related to the shower. I found a fantastic bookstore downstairs with a wide selection of titles.
I experienced a slight delay when trying to obtain an extra key fob for my room. It seemed the hotel only provided one fob per room initially, which presented a small inconvenience when coordinating with travel companions.
