Try to avoid this city if possible!
Try to avoid this city if possible! They have nice pictures of some areas in travelling brochures but this is like 5% of the toal city. Mostly this city is heavily broken roads, mud-walkways, overcrowded, traffic jams and polluted air. When flying to Tanzania try to be it that city not too long. Fly or drive away to your next destination ASAP. And remember - prefer to use (locally represented) agency when travelling longer distances in Tanzania. If something happens with the vehicle (sooner or later it will happen) you have someone who might help you or at least worries about you.

I liked the outskirts of town - 1hr away from the airport was where I spent most at. The main city was a bit overwhelming and stressful at times, i.e. police officers hunting after foreigners and questioning your presence etc. I had two occasions where I was stopped just like that and the officers asking heaps of questions like where you come from, what your travels purpose was, what do you do, and if you're married (I'm a female solo traveller). I answered all the questions succinctly & clearly. However these officers just somehow would find ways to make it go longer than necessary. One even accused me of not having the right document (I was like what do you mean with the valid passport and visa?!). Anyway, he wanted to take me to the police station and court of law. I had a local driver with me who talked him out of it by giving him some shillings. And he turned to me and said "it's solved". Make sure you always carry your passport or ID documents with you. It's always helpful to know at least a local that you can reach out too when you find yourself trapped in tricky situations. Not much to see either in DAR. Maybe spend more time outside of the city.

Dar Es Salaam was not very secure and comfortable city for tourists. Everyone was warning, " be careful, do not move freely, do not take of your phone out from your pocket, do not keep any money in your pocket etc."

Dar es Salaam is wonderful city to visit.
Dar es Salaam is wonderful city to visit. It has many interesting sites and amazing high-end restaurants to choose from. We had a wonderful experience at the AKEMI REVOLVING RESTAURANT where my spouse thoroughly enjoyed Lasagna. My grilled chicken was not exactly up to the task but passable. The service was great but the hotel manager Mr. Lorenzo Sachin could do with some PR. He moved around the restaurant totally ignoring some tables (such as ours) while busying himself with customers on other tables. Mr. Sachin, customer equity is important more so in hotel and restaurant industry... Mwenda (Kenya)
A lovely location out of the city centre over looking the sea. Ideal for one night at the start or end of your trip.
It is about 20 minutes by taxi to the ferry terminal and about 50-60 minutes to the airport.
While the hotel is large and has all the usual facilities, it does have a corporate feel to it.
The Indian restaurant serves magnificent Indian food and would go so far as to say it is the best we have ever had - having eaten in many Indian restaurants over the world including India.
The airport shuttle is the best that I have experienced anywhere. They are prompt, very helpful. The most import is that always on time. The room was very clean and the staff is prepared to help you in anyway that you need. Best is a trustworthy shuttle, clean/comfortable room, and no Dar traffic getting to and from the hotel. Also, the hotel is secure. The Airport Transit has become our preferred accommodation for our travel and the who travel with our company.
The location and ambiance were great. Nearby are supermarket and restaurants, and it's within walking distance to the Slipway. The staff were very welcoming; the ladies spoke softly and were incredibly patient, answering all my questions and assisting with communication with the taxi driver. The breakfast was delicious and the Wifi was fast. This hotel offers the best value for money and overall experience I had during my 12 days in Tanzania.
Located on the beach, with great views.
I got a room with a view and a comfortable mattress.
Breakfast had a good selection if you arrived on time.
A young man and woman on the breakfast staff were very helpful and doing their best which set them apart from the more senior staff there.
The hotel has seen much better days but at its current price it is good value for money.
Staff at the bar were helpful.
Safe in the room.
The staff was very helpful and kind while we stayed there for two nights. The room and bathroom were clean, breakfast was tasty and the area is very safe to stay and easy accessible to the city centre and to the airport. 200m from the guesthouse you have a tasty Baby Ally restaurant, with tasty food.
And when we needed to leave early morning, they prepared a Lunch Box.
highly recommend it!
The location was okay, about 40 minutes from the International Airport of Dar es Salaam. The breakfast was okay realizing that you are in Tanzania. The hotel had a pool but we did not use it. We walked to a small rocky beach which was a 25 minute walk along a main road. The bed was nice and big. The shower was modern and had good pressure and warm water.
Best hotel I have stayed in since I arrived in Dar es Salaam and I have been here over a month. Hotel is clean, has A/C, Wifi, provides breakfast and the staff make you feel like you’re home. I have NOTHING bad to say about it and recommend to EVERYONE coming to Dar to stay. Place is safe and if needed they provide transportation at a reasonable price.
Was pleasant hotel. Judith was amazing. All reception staff ready help with anything.
Very friendly staff and security. Nice breakfast.
Is in centre of city centre. If you have business there.
Not much going on around that area. Quite far from mbezi beach. Would def stay again or in their hotel on beach. Views are amazing from the high floors.
We arrived after midnight (with airport transfer arranged by hotel) and were really nice welcomed with a free room upgrade.
Our room was on 19th floor with AMAZING Dar es Salaam view. Great bathroom with shower and bath, big bed (really hard one tho).
The place is really clean than it looks in the photos. I had a great stay there. I will always stay here whenever I opt for a hostel in Dar es Salaam. Brian is a great guy too. He always guided me on all I needed.
The Hostel was clean with a friendly host who really assisted me in commuting around Dar es salaam town. I strongly recommend The Haven Hostel to all Hostel and Backpackers lovers visiting Dar es salaam.
I like the host are kind and always there to help,the place is best villa for lesure,business or holiday trip. If your ever think to visit dar es salaam. Mkamiti villa be your first choice.
The staff are so friendly and the location of the hotel is very good, in downtown and close from many places. I would highly recommend it for all travellers to Dar es Salaam.
Clean, good facilities, including pool, TV and everything needed for self-catering. Good, central location between city centre and Oyster Bay. Great WiFi.
