“Good hotel, but the construction noise is horrible!”

Reviewed 1 week ago

I stayed at this hotel a couple months ago, so as this is quite a late review I'm not sure if the construction is still going on. But from 7 am you can hear the hammers and banging like it's right above you. This goes on for the whole day into the evening. As I stay here regularly for work,... More

I had a fantastic short stay here. The hotel is comfortable and conveniently located for Dar es Salaam's business and embassy district, the rooms comfortable, recently renovated and clean and the garden pleasant.

“Well Appointed Hotel”

Very good service, with excellent breakfast choices. We were offered our room until departure for airport at 1PM, a very nice touch. There is not a lot to do nearby, did not worry us as only for a stop over. The botanic garden near by very small, did not feel very safe walking in the garden.

We used Southern Sun Dar more as a crash-pad to ease our 04-00 departure from Dar airport. We only stayed three-quarters of a night..... Facilities are as one would expect from any Western hotel.......bath, mini-bar, hairdryer, restaurant, TV etc. All were as one would expect. The staff were also helpful in letting us sort out pick-up times, print off boarding... More
