I went for my business and have no specific opinion about the city as I did not do any sight seeing except going to Dar Es Salaam Institute of Tech and University. Enjoyed a good capuccino in the city mall.

Great Hotel
"My experience was great. I only stayed for 2 nights, but I really enjoyed. I never used the pool, but it did look to a good standard. The breakfast included was also tasty, not much to select from, but still tasty."

I liked the view of the Harbour from my room. Did not have a chance to explore the city. Will do so on my way back from Mwanza.
