Without asking the reception offered to find an available room so that I did not have to... More

Dear Micheal B, Thank you for your review, we welcome the opportunity to continually improve our services. We have now launched a Helishuttle service from the airport directly to the hotel rooftop, which is a quick and effective way of beating the Dar traffic.

I am a platinum member and I used reward points to pay for the entirety of my stay. At 15,000 points per night the hotel is a pretty good value and I had an executive non smoking room on the 9th floor with a great view over Dar Es Salaam.
