Although I prepaid everything but while checkout i got a surprise that i have to pay additional 40,630 Tanzania Shillings because their system is showing that and they don’t have any explanation to that additional amount and they keep calling it human error in the system which doesn’t make sense. I will probably won’t book this hotel again. If someone stay please don’t pay in advance ##### Shoaib Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2022 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Zelalem Nov 7, 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Terrible Experience We had a terrible experience at this hotel. We were first checked into a room that hadn't been cleaned and were then moved to the adjacent room which happened to be right next to the elevator. The walls are thin and we could hear everything from the next room. The front desk agents who checked us in were less than courteous and had attitudes when we brought forth the deficincies. The laundry misplaced one of the four items we sent for washing and had an attitude when we asked them about the missing item. The bellwoman, doorwoman, housekeeing and lunchroom staff were courteous however we wouldn't recommend this hotel for future stays. ##### Zelalem Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Raymond M. Jul 21, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great hotel near Kariakoo I really liked my stay at Chelsea hotel. I chose it because it is close to the vibrant Kariakoo market area (the biggest market in all of Tanzania), but I ended up also liking it for other reasons. The staff were accommodating and helpful, and what I noticed was also that there seemed to be a good mood between the staff; it felt like they were a family who also Enjoyed working together. For me as a customer, that is a very good sign. To be honest, the one flaw for me was their breakfast, which was not really that interesting for me. It was not Bad, and I think they did their best, but the Flavours of the breakfast food there was not to my taste. But I could get to the Al Ayman restaurant nearby in just a few minutes for chai with milk and breakfast that fitted my taste more, so this was not a big issue for me. Overall, I was super pleased with this hotel, and I can recommend this 3-star hotel to anyone who wants to experience the Kariakoo area, and also wish to have a good experience at the hotel itself. A shout-out to the roof terrace as well, which was Very nice (see picture). ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/6F4D19479294AB10A393BBEDC2A753D13E7F81CB1689937884469.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Raymond M.

Ich habe viele Hotels in vielen Ländern in der Preiskategorie besucht und übernachtet. Das war bis heute das schlechteste Hotel überhaupt. Das Personal ist sehr unfreundlich. Es wird sogar untereinander geschrien und gebrüllt. Die Zimmer sind voller Schimmel. Direkt beim hineingehen in die Zimmer merkt man den Schimmel. Die Wände wurden übermalt, um den Schimmelbildung zu verstecken. Bei einem längeren Aufenthalt ist sogar von starken negativen Auswirkungenauf die Gesundheit auszugehen. Es ist wirklich alles alles schlimm hier. ##### Kerim Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### ghislain Didace Jan 29, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort my stay at chelsea hotel was nice, but I lost my perfum in the room when I asked cleaners to clean my room. ##### ghislain Didace Stayed 1 night in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Firmin Jan 9, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort It was great.
