The Doubletree is a not too old hotel but the harsh African climate trends to lead to quick deterioration of the structure in general. The rooms are comfortable enough but the bathrooms are at times a bit run down due to leaking faucets, the shower spraying water everywhere because of faulty fittings, the mirror starting to desintegrate etc. Airco is...

The room was smelling from smoke eventhough i was told that it's a nom smoking room. The breakfast was poor ,the vegetables and the fruits didn't look fresh ,on the tables there was always something missing (sugar or teespoons ,serviets ). The housekeeping took the used towels without replacing them with new ones. I will definitly NEVER come here again.

I sincerely apologise for the unfortunate experience you had on your recent stay at the Dar es Salaam property. Room 107 is definitely not a smoking room as the entire block is non - smoking. I have requested our housekeeping department to investigate this immediately as I suspect that the previous guest may have smoked in the room. However this... More

The double tree is a very nice hotel -- clean, friendly helpful staff, next door to the Slipway market. I stayed here for business, so didn't know what to expect. Not sure I would have paid if my agency hadn't been footing the bill.

Awful experience with the worst service I've received anywhere - unresponsive check-in and even worse check-out. Meals are average but made worse by the service. The only thing going for this hotel is the location which is great.
