This was the only reason we went to Dar Es Salaam (layover). The room was giant and the shower was so good! A nice break from the African austerity as a tourist. The girls at the restaurant were so kind, the pizza was awesome! ##### Jessica Stayed 1 night in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 9 Jul 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 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Suman 23 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities It was very comfortable.
