Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Definitely the worst choice to stay before an early flight. There is no proprer road and it's quite noisy outside. The room itself is also very badly equipment with old aircon and a fan that produce a lot of noise. The bedsheets and mattress felt like they are made of plastic because it was really uncomfortable and made you sweat like crazy. Never again

Great location, friendly staff with transportation to and from Julius Nyrere Airport. I stay at Transit Hotel Airport during my annual travel to Tanzania which requires regional flights from the Airport. Reliable driver arranged by the Motel. During my last stay the Motel was under renovation and no longer had in-house food preparation with LONG waits for a meal. Hopefully this will be better in 2024! A great value and pleasant experience.

Very friendly, helpful staff and clean facilities. There is a lot of construction going on around the airport making transportation challenging. But the staff at this motel provide airport transportation that makes up for it. I recommend this as a comfortable place if you have a layover at the Dar airport.
