Holiday Inn Dar Es Salaam, an IHG Hotel, hotel in Dar es Salaam

Holiday Inn Dar Es Salaam City Center is located in the business district just a 5-minute drive from nearby banks, embassies and shops.

The location was the primary reason we chose the hotel. We needed to be able to get to the Nyerere Airport quickly. We had previously stayed at the Giraffe Beach Hotel, a far superior hotel but farther away from the airport.

    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 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 location is perfect. By the ocean. A beautiful view of Dar es Salaam. The garden, tge pool, the pizzeria on the rock by the sea. The breeze is wonderful. It is very easy to get around the city from here with Bolt, bajaj or bodaboda. You can see that this hotel once was beautiful and the pride of the area. But it lost its spark since it did not get any maintenance.

    Cheap price. They offered free pick up from the airport. The wifi worked great. The staff was friendly. The accommodations were good for the price. I have stayed at another hotel in Dar es Salaam for double the price that was close to the same quality. Actually the more expensive hotel's wifi was much slower and less reliable.
