Hotel berhampiran Greek Orthodox Church, Dar Es Salaam

Great location but I feel there is a lot required to improve the standards. I feel the rooms weren't that clean, cob webs everywwhere, dusty and rusty showers. There was no hot water in two of the rooms we booked and we were told that extra beds for our 4 and 5 year olds were chargeable yet when I made the booking, I specifically booked one family room. I further confirmed my booking requirements with an agent, Yahya whom we met when checking in but insisted that we pay for the extra beds. I feel we were short changed

Good hotel, I had a 3 days stay with my family. It has a good location and Mr Amandus was good in communication via email before check-in. Good food and I like it’s swimming pool, very clean and when taking sea view rooms wow, it’s sunrise is superb. I recommend this hotel to everyone

Angel in housekeeping has been so helpful and kind. Daily our beds, floors and bathroom were cleaned to perfection in room 7. She came daily in with a beautiful smile ready to reach his new words for the day. When she left there were flowers on our beds. Thank you and we’ll be returning again.

We had a lovely stay at this hotel. The room was amazing and spotless, air-conditioned with cable TV. The cleaning staff went above and beyond there duties and made us feel special and very welcome every day. The breakfast was great with plenty of choices. We ate in the hotel restaurant most nights and the food was exceptional every night. The menu was good. The chefs need to be given credit for there work. All staff on reception were polite and helpful but Rogate was of a different level and couldn't do more for us. She is a credit to the hotel and hope the management realise this and give her a promotion. For all her information and help she provided us we will 100% return to this hotel again in the future. If you are into your fitness this is the place to visit as you get full use of the air-conditioned gym and thr facilities which are all of a very high standard. Thanks for a lovely stay and we hope to see you all again soon.

Will be back soon! Thank you very much. Pleasant hotel and staff

Номер был чистым, чистое пастельное белье. В номере есть телевизор. Ванная чистая, сантехника новая, есть горячая вода. От порта 20 минут пешком. Недалеко есть KFC.

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.

My experience was good. I was looked after from the airport to the hotel. The reception was excellent. The meals, the friendliness of the staff, the cleaning were excellent. Just a situation of water running in the bathroom, in the room I was in, that almost caused a serious accident. But, the stay was great.

CBD is centrally located in the heart of the city center so close to most services and public transport. The hotel’s services and staff were also very commendable: kind and friendly stuff all the way from reception to every single service. Some of my new friends there include Faith and IDDI.
