3-Star Hotels in Dar es salaam

I spent one night in the Chelsea Hotel to do some sightseeing in Dar and it was very good for that purpose. The hotel was a little bit dated, but otherwise completely up to the standards which I expect from a hotel. It's located not far from the clock tower, which to my understanding pinpoints the centerpoint of the city. The actual sights I went to see started further away, about 20 minutes by foot. The room was adequate in size and had good aircon. I had a twin room. I first tried sleeping in the bed further away from the aircon, but the air blew directly there, so I had to move to the bed right under the aircon unit. The hotel was located close to a busy road and the honking of the cars could be heard up to the sixth floor. However it wasn't bad. The breakfast was ok. It didn't have a very wide selection, but the items I tried were tasty and of good quality. Also the setting in the restaurant was pleasant. The only negative I have to say is the extraorbitant exchange rate. I had paid my room rate in advance, but I had to pay the city tax (1.50 USD) at the hotel. I asked to pay in Tsh and had to pay 7000 Tsh, equivalent to about 3$. My loss was only 1.50$, so it wasn't a big deal in my case, but the principle left a bad taste in my mouth. If the room rate would have been 1.50$ higher but the city tax 3500 Tsh, I would have left as a happy customer. The hotel offered airport transfer for 42000 Tsh. It was quite pricy. The fixed price at the official taxi stand at the airport was 30000 Tsh. On the way back to the airport I used a rideshare app to get my transfer, it cost Tsh 12000.

There should improve on their breakfast . I like tea or coffee but on the morning of 1 January the tea i was given if i am not mistaken with measurements it was 150mls in a very tiny cup. I think there should be an upgrade on quality of breakfast which i think was down graded compared to the previous breakfast i had in August 2022. At that time and day in August it was a buffet

It‘s a fairly new hotel and part of Marriott Bonvoy. I enjoyed to stay there a lot, the staff is very friendly and attentive. The breakfast buffet is nice and with various options. The pool has a nice size, however lacking a view. Talking about view, some rooms have nice sea view. Others have pool view but you also see the green landscape which is nice too. The rooms are pretty big, kind of small TV though, but they feel very comfortable and the bed is great too. Also USB and an international power plug at the night stand, which still a lot of other hotels don‘t have. Rooms are cleaned very well. The gym is very basic, only machines for cardio and a few weights. Ate dinner at the restaurant several times and always got good food. There is an area called Slipway just 5 walking minutes away, that also provides great food options and a bit of nightlife.

The best hotel in Dar Es Salaam. I’m titanium with Marriott and have stayed at properties around the world and this hotel is my favorite. The staff is so friendly. Ismael was our waiter at the hotel restaurant both nights and greeted us by name, talked with us and offered recommendations on things to do. The hotel manager came and greeted me during lunch to see how my stay was going, something I have never seen before, it was very much appreciated. Rooms were clean and spacious, at night they sprayed the grounds for mosquitoes and offered us the spray as we were sitting outside by the pool. The hotel and staff made our trip to Dar Es Salaam amazing.

Lovely quiet and relaxing hotel - just what I needed. The food is really good, the room was clean and comfortable. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Lovely location and great sitting by the sea to eat meals. Also had an amazing massage from Mina - thoroughly recommend!

We booked for one night, for after our journey from Zambia on the TAZARA train. (We didn’t have much info to go on but anyone from the UK who grew up in the 70s or 80s will understand the appeal) We knew the train was running over twelve hours late but hadn’t expected to be turned out of our bunks on arrival at 03:30. That being the case we made a beeline for the Rainbow in the hope that they’d also be able to put as up for the night before we’d booked, which they could (of course we had to pay for the extra night). Staff were nice, rooms and beds comfortable, and a surprisingly good breakfast (we’d been lead to believe it was continental but there were pancakes, fried potatoes, baked beans, noodles, and eggs cooked to order). If you want a fridge in your room I think you need to book a de-luxe room. Also a good location, very close to the Zanzibar ferry. The hotel also offers an airport transfer service, a bit on the expensive side but hassle free.

The transit hotel is good, the taxi driver charges me 5USD from airport to hotel, its acceptable for the first time, but after living in Tanzania for a month, 5USD is really a lot. Staff are nice and friendly, but there is electricity cut off that day. The only thing is the location is bad, the surrounding is dangerous. People nearby will shout, come near you when seeing you are tourist. That why I live only for 3 hours instead of the whole night. I prefer staying at the airport during interchange flight.
