The shower water pressure is pretty good but the tub is higher than the bathroom floor so it can get awkward. Also it is closed by a curtain and although I am very careful to close the curtain during a shower some water always ended up on the floor. Some of the bathroom amenities could use some fresh calking or paint. Overall it was a good stay. ##### Ariff Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2026 ### 8/10 Good #### Momodou 30 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Nice place and very friendly and professional staff ##### Momodou Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Berenice 14 Feb 2025 Liked: Staff & service Rate this hotel as 5 star when the renovations are complete.

Good size room with all you need. All staff were extremely polite, to a degree when it became almost annoying: "Good morning, how are you, is there anything I can do for you?". Unclear when the currency exchange office was open. Rich breakfast with lots of choices, including hot courses. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/32750E27EB4DC875A67C631693697AC0F86EEB581740586235359.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/C9DDDC455E12533C029F99AC1FF503F0FAADB2E51740586235858.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/87BA2007962B6C6DD0CB428DFC67627053DF9AAD1740586235850.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Curt Olof Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Anu 27 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The property was beautiful in an antique way. The check in process took far too long considering we were there much later than usual check in but they still didn't have a room ready. Other than that incident the staff was polite/helpful. The spa was absolutely lovely. I highly recommend the spa. ##### Anu Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Joseph 24 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The Serena Hotel Dar es Salaam is a great facility with very friendly and hospitable staff. The only recommendation I would offer is that they consider updating their mattresses. Mine was clearly tired. But so was I, so I was able to sleep nonetheless. ##### Joseph Stayed 5 nights in Oct 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Kimberly 25 Jan 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Amenities Air Con is minimal.
