The Palm beach is no where near a beach, but it used to be! It's beside the busy Ali Hassan Mwinyi road, but it has a garden that is strangely quiet. The rooms vary from small but well appointed singles, to large well appointed double/singles. What you get depends upon what is available at the time. Everything is spotless. Internet... More

Excellent hotel to stay close to the city centre if one cannot afford to spend a lot more. Clean. Everything you need is in the room: fridge, sockets, free Wifi; kettle, cups, TV. Adequate shower and toilet. Very friendly and helpful staff. Nice bar and restaurant that serves good value for money everyday fare. Garden noisy (traffic) but well visited.... More

No palms, no beach, and not much of a hotel; Dar's traffic and development have screened off any beach atmosphere this place might have had half a century ago, when it looked quite "modern." All that can be said for it is that it is close to town. It's on a busy intersection, so the outdoor shaded bar/restaurant area is... More

We stay here for three nights and it was great, the rooms were well equiped and clean, palm beach is in a good location and easy access to town centre. There is a casino next door which is great to go to in the evening. The staff were very friendly and responded to every need. I would definately stay here... More

We stayed for a couple of nights at Palm Beach Hotel. Over all it was all right, but not outstanding. The rooms were basic and clean for most parts. There were bugs in the bathroom and sometimes it smelled of sewer. We had to ask to get a mosquito net even though there were heaps of mosquitos in the room.... More

Historic hotel, recently been renovated to look sophisticated but remaining with its Greek-esq charm. Lovely bar outside (watch the million bats fly over at dusk; it is an amazing sight). Also right next to a casino with 2 poker tables (against other players; not the house): Texas hold 'em & Omaha are both played. Sometimes the first table gets a... More

We only had one night in Dar, on our way home from Zanzibar, and we booked this place based on the review in the Lonely Planet guide (by the way, that guide book gets things wrong way too many times!). The hotel is clean, newly renovated to seem more like a Marriott (with a bit more style), and it is... More

My Father, Wife and I shared a triple for a couple of nights and a few weeks later my wife and I came back to Dar and spent another 3 nights in this hotel. On our first stay we were disapointed with the triple rooms functuality and decor and we where not sure if we would return, but luckuly we... More

Having reviewed the Palm Beach Hotel early last year I feel to mention a few, mostly positive, changes which have taken place since. The first thing that has changed are the room rates. With an increase in operating costs and what seem to be contious good occupancy rates one cant really blame the management for that decision. The booking was... More
