Do Not Stay at This Hotel
I would not stay at this hotel ever again. First they forgot to pick us up at the airport in the early morning. The staff were sleeping in the dark when we finally arrived in a taxi. There is no hot water. In three days there was not a drop. The restaurant is closed and so you have to find another in the neighborhood. Breakfast was only ok certainly not what you would expect. The area is so noisy. A loudspeaker from the mosque blares into your room at 4:45 a.m. - you won't sleep.

In a very congested part of Dar es salaam town... Was very difficult finding it even with a local. I did not have warm water to shower as they rely on a solar heating system and it had rained that day. I was given a bucket of warm water instead which was a good gesture but they need to work on alternative electricity sources for rainy days.

Shocking. No hot water and a disaster really. We had a cold shower and made our way to the airport. The floor at the airport was better than staying in that dingy place. Stay away.

Stay away! Run and never look back!
First and foremost.. No hot water for your bathroom! Totally unacceptable for any hotel in any part of the world. Explanation of the management: "solar power". The hot water is only available when it can be heated by Sun, In other cases, they are happy to boil the water for you and deliver it to your room in a bucket. Really!?!? No, No! Hot water is not available at all in any case regardless the type of power used to make it hot and boiling the water must be a real significant saving... Sure it is as I don't see any guest going for that service.. Fungus and mold growing on the walls. Immediate heath risk to any guest! Wi-Fi... Boy... I can only hope none of the guest will have more than sending a text email without attachments. Wi-Fi is almost unexciting. Sure, you will get a display of full range bars, but there is no internet signal in the router network. On side restaurant serving Chinese food. One of the most awful I have ever tested. Kitchen smells overpowering the ambient of this hotel. Street noise not allowing for a good night sleep. Stay away! There are other options available. Don't get yourself lured in by the price. This establishment is far below any acceptable standards in any country. It really blows my mind thinking how they possibly can so many good reviews and such good rating (4 out of 5 at the time of the review).

Stayed here one night while in transit thru Dar. Hotel is about 25 mins from airport with late night traffic, an hour away during rush hour. Room was clean and safe. Nice Chinese breakfast included (hotel caters to Chinese business people). Staff were very nice and helpful. Only complaint is that neighborhood was very noisy and hotel was not at all soundproof.

Great hotel
The hotel staff were warm & welcoming, providing excellent service. The hotel is in bustling part of the city, close to the market, which was quite noisy & had a lot of traffic, my only complaints. The room was clean with air conditioning. Most signage was in Chinese, but included English translations. Their was a Chinese restaurant in the hotel with afforable prices. WiFi was free. The perfect stopover before my departing flight. Fyi taxis to the airport from here were about $30 USD.

Decent for 1 night with early flight
We arrived via the Zanzibar ferry; it was very hot and we had all our luggage. We had arranged with the hotel directly (in advance) to have a driver there for 15,000. We didn’t see anyone or any signs and waited 20 mins with all bags in the sun; we meaaaged the hotel and they said he was on his way, but we already negotiated our own taxi. When we arrived for check in, we were given a room and brought all our luggage up; the room wasn’t cleaned and no sheets on the bed. We went back down to main desk, given another room. Decent and better, higher floor (8) but can still hear all traffic the entire evening. No hot water was available in the hotel as they said they were having an issue with it (they did send a housekeeping staff up to heat up water in a bucket to use in place of a shower). Not ideal. Dinner (fried rice noodle with chicken) was good food, and breakfast was packed up to go for our 4am departure. It was toast, egg roll, spring roll and a boiled egg. Staff did arrange to have a driver take us to the airport early am due to the prior day inconvenience so that was very lovely and they are very helpful. The room we booked was basic and for a layover before early flight, it did the trick. They will provide ear plugs do to the traffic noise and loud noise from the market across the street. In an area not recommended for late night walkabouts.

The staff at Hong Hotel was wonderful- the restaurant, housekeeping, reception, and the doormen. The food in the restaurant -breakfast and dinner- was good. My only difficulty was that there was no hot water for my week and a half stay.

A little disappointed
Looked really nice online but I was a little disappointed by cleanliness. Sheets were clean but there were some 'bits' on them that I needed to brush off (used my own silk sleeping bag liner). Tap in bathroom dirty with soap scum and the housekeepers didn't touch it when they came in daily. Shower cold and right next to the toilet so all floor area got wet and we had to put toilet seat down when showering so it didn't get wet. Staff were very nice, especially in the good restaurant. In a very vibrant area of Dar Es Salaam, have to have your wits about you walking around in this market area of Dar. All in all though, this was an interesting experience.
