It is a 5 minute drive to the airport (traffic allowing, of course), and it is really close to the Simba grocery store. The breakfast buffet and omelettes cooked to order are a highlight of each morning! ##### Nathan Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tabitha Jun 2, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The staff was VERY polite and accomodating. ##### Tabitha Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Julius Dec 2, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities Great for quick stopover near the airport ##### Julius Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Pragati Aug 3, 2025 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities I stayed in room 3317. I got bug bites. My wife had major loose motion after having their breakfast buffet. There is also a bad smell in the room and hallways. Staff is super friendly but because of these factors I recommend not staying at this property. ##### Pragati Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jennifer Jan 19, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Convenient for stop overs from the airport.

The area is dusty due to ongoing roads constructions ##### Festus Stayed 1 night in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Jul 9, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Close to airport - great value Huge clean room, comfortable bed, very nice a/c, nice buffet breakfast with good coffee. Very good value. So close to the airport. Only addition would be a hair dryer, but certainly not a deal breaker. There is ongoing construction on the main road (7/24) which adds a little to the time travel to and from and the noise - also, not a deal breaker. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Deanna Feb 17, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great Airport Hotel Option Wonderful option for a hotel close to the airport. The room was very (!) large, nice amenities, clean and a friendly staff. There was some confusion at checkout about payment (they asked for my card when I had prepaid and seemed confused about why they didn’t know that) and they almost tried to get me to pay for a restaurant bill that was not mine - but they were apologetic for the confusion and did not press me for money I did not owe. I would absolutely recommend the location but encourage you to review the details when leaving. ##### Deanna Stayed 1 night in Feb 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### CHARMAINE Dec 4, 2024 Liked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Cleanliness I had no tv service. The bed sheets weren’t changed found hair in it. Made me leary of bathroom. ##### CHARMAINE Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Heather Apr 13, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort #### Not Safe for Travelers – Bags Opened by Staff If you leave money in your bags and step out of your room, expect to be robbed. From my repeated visits to Tanzania, I've learned to carry all valuables with me at all times. I also photograph my bags before leaving the room to monitor whether anything has been disturbed. At this particular hotel, the staff proved to be untrustworthy. I deliberately positioned a luggage tag on the right side of my suitcase and placed my backpack against the wall. Both were clearly opened while I was away, but since I hadn’t left any cash inside, nothing was taken. It's deeply troubling how frequently theft occurs, and how little integrity is shown in such establishments. In Tanzania, the penalty for theft can be 5 to 7 years in prison. Incidents like this make it clear that serious action should be taken—starting with holding hotel staff accountable. ##### Heather Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Allan Sep 16, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness Good enough for a convenient stay near the airport ##### Allan Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rob Sep 15, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I love their omelette choices in the morning! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/f96b5246-60ee-4c90-80ae-0357b5c93a7c-1757961977494.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Rob Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Richard Sep 10, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Hotel Blue Sapphire has a friendly and helpful staff.
