Good vibe, nice bar area with a great Jazz singer on the weekends. I requested a shuttle to pick me up which cost $30, not sure how much it is from other services. Nice lawn in the back to relax, and the dinner buffet was ok. Internet is $10 a day unless you buy a package, and all rooms come... More

This property has some way to go before raching Serena standards. My standard room was fine but some details had not been attended to. The room service menu was dirty and had tape to hold it together; the internet came and went. In the gym all three running machines were out of order although the pool was nice. The staff... More

Stayed twice for one night, once at the beginning adonce at the end of our Northern Tanzanian Safari and week in Zanzibar. In the three weeks between Serena had already improved the menu in the gourmet restauarant and second time round it was really nice. Very friendly staff there too. The second time we had aroom overlooking the Golf Course... More

First of all, thanks to a future orientated new management, the free Wifi internet service throughout the hotel made a huge difference! We could even skype-call home due to the excellent bandwidth.

Movenpick Royal Palm (soon changing name to Serena) is my preferred business hotel in Dar es Salaam. I have stayed there on several occasions and always feel welcome. For longer stays, I will recommend the executive floor (7th) with its own secluded business lounge (recently, I stayed there for two weeks). The rooms are comfortable, internet is working (which is... More

The hotel has everything but lacks the final touches of a true 5 star. Don't expect top notch luxury but if you want all modern amenities, this is your place. More

Stayed at the Dar Moevenpick for two nights on business. Rooms were good-sized and clean but a little dated. Service was good and breakfast was adequate with decent selection. Internet was available but for an extra fee. A little pricey for the city but had all that I needed for business. More
