Spacious rooms with nice view on the seaside. Nice swimming pool of length 20 m, however a bit narrow in width if several swimmers are there. Hotel is far away from the Dar city centre and there are no shopping facilities close to it. To change money, use an ATM maschine and buy a Tanzanian SIM card one has to... More

I have stayed at Best Western Coral Beach Hotel before when traveling for work. This time the experience was less than agreeable (luckily only one night). It seems as if I was booked for an additional night and on arrival the front desk manager insisted that this error was my problem- as I could not speak for the office booking... More

This is a lovely hotel, it is well maintained, and the staff are attentive and friendly. I enjoyed the food which was not expensive, and I had a comfortable bed. My room was large and well equipped for use as a travelling office. Very nice terrace and sunsets. Thank you!

Housekeeping was superb. The staff were very attentive and full of smiles. However, water was not flowing through the shower but in the tap below. I... More

This hotel has a lot going for it, but..... My room had a 'wet room' type walk in shower, but the water runs all over the bathroom floor and the drain stinks until the shower has been used. I went down for dinner and ordered a fish dish. It was still raw when served, so I gave it up as... More

Was in Dar over the New Year holidays and spent several days at Coral Beach Hotel. The room was super clean, the staff and housekeeping very attentive, room service was great (and so was the food)! I stayed at other hotels in the area, but this was by far the BEST EXPERIENCE! I highly recommend staying there - either short... More

Dear Sir, thank you for your feedback. GBP is not a currency widely accepted in Tanzania or Africa at large but USD is, I would therefore recommend that you travel in Africa with USD instead of GBP or Euro as it would make your travel payments much easier. Thank you very much also for your feedback regarding the Seafront Restaurant... More
