Had a great stay at the Joleen Safari Park Hotel. The Owner and staff are very professional and helpful in this new small hotel, which is well maintained and peaceful.There was always staff there 24 hours a day if you needed anything. I had some amazing local dishes for dinner but they would make what you like. The beaches are close by, beautiful, clean and empty , except for a for local fisherman. I had a few nice surf sessions and arranged though the hotel a cheap taxi and the driver was super nice and helpful who got me to all the best beaches. I stayed on for twice as long.

Never stayed in a hotel with better value for money. The hotel is new, all is perfect. A living room and separate bedroom, big TV in both, Netflix. Excellent service snd staff. Swimming pool. A great breakfast until 11:30, never experienced that long breakfast hours. Check out at 12, most places on Tanzania have check out at 10. Clean and quiet place, good location, big garden. I know I will always come back to this hotel when I travel to Dar. A home away from home.

It's a very nice hotel in the city center. I've got a free room upgrade to a beautiful suite and the staff was very friendly. Since I had to leave very early in the morning, I haven't tried the breakfast but I'm sure it will be good as well. Highly recommended!

Hyatt Regency Dar es Salaam, The Kilimanjaro

Hotel in Dar es Salaam

Featuring free WiFi throughout the property, Hyatt Regency Dar es Salaam The Kilimanjaro is located close to the harbour and 700 metres away from the Zanzibar Ferry Terminal.

I recently stayed at the Hyatt Regency in Dar es Salaam for just one night before my flight back to Amsterdam, and it was a wonderful experience. Although the stay was short, I was truly impressed by the hotel. The breakfast was absolutely fantastic, offering a great variety of fresh and delicious options. The attention to detail and overall service were equally exceptional, making me feel very well taken care of. The hotel also arranged the transfer from the airport, which cost 120 euros for a round trip. Though the driver was slightly late, it was understandable because my flight landed about half an hour earlier than scheduled. The drive itself took about 30 minutes, which was quick and convenient. While the transfer price is on the higher side, the outstanding service provided by the hotel more than made up for it. All in all, Hyatt Regency in Dar es Salaam delivered a top-notch experience—even if just for one night—and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable stay in the city.

I had the pleasure of staying at this beautiful hotel, and it truly exceeded all expectations. Although it's just a short distance from the bustling city of Dar es Salaam, it felt like a peaceful oasis, offering a perfect escape from the everyday hustle and bustle. The serene atmosphere and lush surroundings made it feel like a home away from home. The staff were exceptional – incredibly friendly and attentive, making me feel welcome from the moment I arrived. Their warmth and hospitality truly stood out, and I felt like I was among friends throughout my stay. The food was absolutely fantastic, with a breakfast spread that was not only delicious but also varied and fresh. Every meal was a treat, and I looked forward to every dining experience. Overall, I highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat with outstanding service and incredible food. It was truly an unforgettable experience!

Everything! Great location, design, amazing staff and service from reception to concierge to restaurant to room service to housekeeping to laundry! Everyone was so lovely, polite, helpful and professional. Great pool area too and lovely spa I’m gutted to miss. Lots of great restaurants and food options plus a great bar. Breakfast was fantastic! A really wide and tasty range. Also the restaurants do themed nights on various days and I was fortunate enough to catch the African Night and I couldn’t recommend it enough! There was loads of great food, a great atmosphere (packed with locals) and a brilliant live band. It was a bargain too. In fact, I thought the whole stay was great value for money. Loved it! Great atmosphere too! I’ll be back.

We chose this hotel to be close to the airport and it was a very good choice. Clean, comfortable and the windows are well isolated, so no noises at night. The closest road need to be fixed, so take into account it will take more time to come back to the airport. Anyway, the staff is wonderful. They helped us immediately when we thought we had lost our bag.

Food is very affordable in Dar and there are plenty of food options. Getting around Dar is so easy as you can use the Bolt app where it is affordable. I had dinner at Orchid Cafe which had a cozy vibe. Experienced night life in Wavuvi and Samaki Samaki and it was very memorable since they play all song genres. I experienced a Sunset Cruise in Dhow in Dar which was at Kigamboni and it was amazing especially when the sun sets.

Masaki was beautiful. I went shopping at Kariakoo and uuugh it was crazy packed with traffic of people. I wouldn't advise it if you don't have to. Stay in Masaki, Oyster Bay, and the surrounding explore the beaches, bars, restaurants, and other hangout joints.
