I have been a regular visitor to Dar es Salaam on business over the years so I have tried all the top hotels. Last week I stayed at the Harbour View Hotel, and I recommend it without reservation. Everything about the hotel was excellent. My one bedroom suite was a clean, well furnished and a true ‘home from home’. It... more

Stayed in the 2 room studio while visiting Dar. Limited view of harbour from the rooms. Had to take stairs to the next floor where suite was located, which was inconvenient. Staff were pleasant and helpful.Location was good. Rate for the breakfast was a " turn off " - Too high for what was offered. Driver Mohando was pleasant. Air... more

I had high hopes for this place, after reading such rave reviews on this hotel in tripadvisor. The hotel is well located in the centre of town. It’s conveniently located next to a tiny mall where you can get nearly everything you need. From the outside, the hotel looks more like an office than a hotel. The hotel premises are... more

Entering this apartment was a very pleasant surprise. Modern, spacious and clean. These are characteristics not often used of tanzanian hotels.... more

I stayed at Harbour View Suites on 2 separate occasions on a recent trip to Tanzania and can't recommend them highly enough! Note that some web sites show no availability for this hotel (e.g., Orbitz) on any date and I suspect that this has something to do with a reservations system glitch. I, however, had no issues getting a room... more

We had the 2-bedroom executive suite, and there was plenty of room for the 4 of us to spread out. It felt very safe here. The... more

We recently returned from our trip and can't say enough about the Harbour View Suites. We were met at the airport and when our driver found out it was our first visit to TZ, he happily pointed out landmarks, talked about the city and offered suggestions for our stay. We were greeted at the reception area with juice and warm... more

This hotel is situated right in the city center of Dar es Salaam on Samora Avenue and it offers self contained suites with kitchenette, tea and coffee facility, electronic safes. There is no restaurant except a pizza place and a Subway Sandwich shop in the mall downstairs. Once you're away from the incredible hustle and bustle of Samora Ave., you... more

While the hotel is soon to expand, and add a restaurant, it is unique among the top hotels in Dar in that existing rooms and suites all have kitchen facilities, cooking paraphernalia, a counter-top stove, microwave oven and dishes. The refrigerator is the real thing, not a mini-bar. Of course, you fill it. If you wish, the service staff will... more
