Some outlet sockets were out of order, the kettle was broken, and the fridge was also out of order. Once the curcuit breaker tripped at night. I think the rooms need more frequent maintenance. Staff were always quick to respond to solve the problems and I was happy with that. ##### Akemi Stayed 9 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jay May 23, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Wonderful place ##### Jay Stayed 12 nights in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### AMEETKUMAR Mar 23, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Nice experience ##### AMEETKUMAR Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Feb 2, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Located in the city center and close to most offices.

Little bit far from Airport considering local traffic and ongoing Bridge construction going on in Dar Es Salaam. Restaurant food was one of the big plus. Roof top Bar & Restaurant was quite good, helps to relax after hectic work day. Local Taxis are always available outside the hotel. ##### H Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kenneth Nov 9, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Comfortable and professionally managed This is a very good hotel in the city centre. The wifi worked well and the restaurant served good food (and beer). The room was spacious, clean and comfortable, and the air conditioning worked well. The biggest plus as far as I was concerned was the helpfulness and friendliness of the staff and management, which was outstanding. This will be my hotel of choice on my return to Dar es Salaam. ##### Kenneth Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2018 ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller Nov 15, 2017 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Quarto com cheiro de mofo e banheiro em mais condições o lugar onde fica não é legal ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Nov 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Jul 22, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Friendly, authentic hotel, managed by an Indian family.

Restaurant service one night was so slow I left - 45 minute wait for a curry!! There was a function upstairs, and I don't think they thought anyone else would be eating. Breakfast (included) was OK, much Indian food, but omlets made to order. ##### Maureen Smitt ### 4/10 Poor #### Kumar, Canada Jun 27, 2016 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Two star hotel The condition of the room is really bad. Paint is peeling. Washroom tiles are dirty and may have MOLD. Water doesn't drain during shower. It is really bad. Only supplied on bath towel and one hand towel. No napkins. Neighborhood does not suite the location of this hotel. ##### Kumar ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jeya Ram, India Jun 15, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Good hotel for all travellers. I am used to stay in this hotel every time I visit Dar for about more than 4 years. At least a week stay every year. Very nice property with comfort, easy accessible, good location. Especially for Indian traveller it's a good choice as very close to Indian temples, Indian foods at walkable distance. Overall a good hotel. ##### Jeya Ram ### 8/10 Good #### dermot, Ireland Dec 8, 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Good value and very friendly and helpful staff.

The rooms and the service is what you pay for and they are friendly and accommodating. The roof bar is lovely and relaxed. The Indian food at the hotel is some of the best I've tasted in Africa. A nice hotel in a very good location. ##### Christian ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Jul 2, 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort I was happy to stay at the hotel.

Food Good hotel - Indian vegetarian food available in this hotel - managed by Indians - good value for money ##### SUBRAMANIAN ### 6/10 Okay #### andrius, london May 31, 2015 #### just acceptable it was ok for a short overnight stay, quite nice breakfast. not far from the ferry terminal. the terrace upstairs looked nice for a drink in the evening, but we arrived after 11pm so never had a chance to use it as it was already closed by that time. ##### andrius ### 8/10 Good #### Mr. Gerald R, Cairns, Australia May 30, 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Hotel Sapphire They could not find booking for two so we were upgraded to a very nice suite. Overnight stay in DAR, very comfortable, left before breakfast time so they packed a sandwich to go for two. Dinner was the best curry in hotel dining room I have had in years. I liked the hotel a lot. U.S. $30.00 plus tip cab ride from airport ##### Mr. Gerald R ### 6/10 Okay #### JOHN, Nairobi Kenya May 11, 2015 Disliked: Room comfort #### Feedback Came for official duties. Friendly staff, the location is horrible though.No parking, accessing Taxi's is a nightmare and the unimaginable Trafffic jam on a rainy day. Improve on courtesy for your ushers/ security one can get rained on while being dropped by a cab but the ushers don't come with to shelter you from the rain and just watches by. Also the TV channels are so skewed to India channels, got the impression you expect guests from only one race? give more attention to customers feedback and you will be Ok...you have the potential. ##### JOHN ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Blue Waters Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Johns-Hotels-Blue-Waters-Resort-Spa.h695516.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Hotels in Honolulu](https://www.expedia.ca/Honolulu-Hotels-Fairmont.0-0-d1488--bFairmont.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Days Inn by Wyndham Sudbury & Conference Centre](https://www.expedia.ca/Sudbury-Hotels-Northbury-Hotel-And-Conference-Centre.h12361.Hotel-Information) > > [Golf Hotels in Miami](https://www.expedia.ca/Miami-Hotels-Golf-Hotel.0-0-d178286-tGolfHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Anchorage](https://www.expedia.ca/Anchorage-Hotels.d178230.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Cheap Hotels in Québec City](https://www.expedia.ca/Quebec-City-Hotels-Cheap-Hotels.0-0-d180017-tCheapHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Park Plaza London Westminster Bridge](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Park-Plaza-Westminster-Bridge-London.h3113039.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Seattle](https://www.expedia.ca/Seattle-Hotels.d178307.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Mountain Hotels in Montreal](https://www.expedia.ca/Montreal-Hotels-Mountain-Hotels.0-0-d178288-tMountainHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Incheon Airport Transit Hotel - Terminal 2](https://www.expedia.ca/Incheon-Hotels-Incheon-Airport-Transit-Hotel.h21592487.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Chicago (ORD) to Baltimore (BWI)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ord/bwi/chicago-to-baltimore) > > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Comox (YQQ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/yqq/calgary-to-comox) > > [Flights from Alberta (YQF) to Grande Prairie (YQU)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yqf/yqu/red-deer-to-grande-prairie) > > [Flights from Pune (PNQ) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/pnq/yyz/pune-to-toronto) > > [Flights from Madison (MSN) to Calgary (YYC)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/msn/yyc/madison-to-calgary) > > [Flights from Montreal (YUL) to North Bay (YYB)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yul/yyb/montreal-to-north-bay) > > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Kelowna (YLW)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/ylw/calgary-to-kelowna) > > [Flights from Goffs (YHZ) to Florence (CVG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yhz/cvg/halifax-to-cincinnati) > > [Flights from Goffs (YHZ) to New York (LGA)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yhz/lga/halifax-to-new-york) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Kingston (YGK)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/ygk/vancouver-to-kingston) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Aluva (COK)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/cok/toronto-to-cochin) > > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Lower Bogue (ELH)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/elh/calgary-to-north-eleuthera) > > [Flights from Aluva (COK) to Chennai (MAA)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/cok/maa/cochin-to-chennai) ### Packages > [Bulgaria Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Bulgaria.d26.Destination-Travel-Guides) ### Vacation Rentals
