I stayed at the Hotel Sapphire for two weeks while in Dar for business. My room cost about $100/night and had a fridge, hot plate, safe, microwave and cable tv. There was no hair dryer but when I asked for one, a brand new one was provided within minutes. Pluses: - strong wifi throughout the hotel - quiet comfortable rooms... More

The rooms are big but that is about it. I stayed in room 104. Their was a very damp smell in the room. The aircon isn't really giving you cold air. The bathroom finishing is very poor. However the location is good to explore the city. The rooftop bar has a great view and the price is right. So it's... More

Internet in the 1st room (805) wasn't very good, but the 2nd room was good. Lovely terasse bar where you can have... More

Stayed here for 2 weeks for work purposes. The food was delicious and room service arrived very quickly. The front desk staff were friendly and very competent. Rooftop bar staff were great. Good sized rooms with excellent bathrooms. Some people had various problems with inroom safes, fridges and a/c units. Great location, supermarket closeby and withon walking distance of port.

We stayed just one night at this hotel. The hotel itself appears to be fairly recently renovated: the room and kitchen were quite clean, but our bathroom looked very worn down and there was mold in some areas. The AC worked well and was quite necessary. The hotel is not in a great area of Dar. Upon arriving at the... More

A great stop-over for those on their way to Zanzibar as it is a walking distance to the ferry,..5 minutes walk. Also close to other attractions in Dar including the St. Joseph Cathedral, the fish market and the museum among others. The hotel is fairly new so the rooms are in great condition. Decor is very modern and the facility... More
