Holiday Inn Dar Es Salaam, an IHG Hotel, hotel in Dar es Salaam

Holiday Inn Dar Es Salaam City Center is located in the business district just a 5-minute drive from nearby banks, embassies and shops.

The location was the primary reason we chose the hotel. We needed to be able to get to the Nyerere Airport quickly. We had previously stayed at the Giraffe Beach Hotel, a far superior hotel but farther away from the airport.

    Try to avoid this city if possible!

    Try to avoid this city if possible! They have nice pictures of some areas in travelling brochures but this is like 5% of the toal city. Mostly this city is heavily broken roads, mud-walkways, overcrowded, traffic jams and polluted air. When flying to Tanzania try to be it that city not too long. Fly or drive away to your next destination ASAP. And remember - prefer to use (locally represented) agency when travelling longer distances in Tanzania. If something happens with the vehicle (sooner or later it will happen) you have someone who might help you or at least worries about you.

    I liked the outskirts of town - 1hr away from the airport was where I spent most at. The main city was a bit overwhelming and stressful at times, i.e. police officers hunting after foreigners and questioning your presence etc. I had two occasions where I was stopped just like that and the officers asking heaps of questions like where you come from, what your travels purpose was, what do you do, and if you're married (I'm a female solo traveller). I answered all the questions succinctly & clearly. However these officers just somehow would find ways to make it go longer than necessary. One even accused me of not having the right document (I was like what do you mean with the valid passport and visa?!). Anyway, he wanted to take me to the police station and court of law. I had a local driver with me who talked him out of it by giving him some shillings. And he turned to me and said "it's solved". Make sure you always carry your passport or ID documents with you. It's always helpful to know at least a local that you can reach out too when you find yourself trapped in tricky situations. Not much to see either in DAR. Maybe spend more time outside of the city.

    Dar es Salaam is wonderful city to visit.

    Dar es Salaam is wonderful city to visit. It has many interesting sites and amazing high-end restaurants to choose from. We had a wonderful experience at the AKEMI REVOLVING RESTAURANT where my spouse thoroughly enjoyed Lasagna. My grilled chicken was not exactly up to the task but passable. The service was great but the hotel manager Mr. Lorenzo Sachin could do with some PR. He moved around the restaurant totally ignoring some tables (such as ours) while busying himself with customers on other tables. Mr. Sachin, customer equity is important more so in hotel and restaurant industry... Mwenda (Kenya)

    The hotel is a beach hotel, the staff are warm and welcoming. Check-in was smooth. The hotel has a beach and restaurant on the opposite side of the main hotel. The rooms are clean. We had dinner at the restaurant, the portions were adequate and the food generally was delicious. There are many activities around the beachside to engage in: pool tables, swimming pool, paintball, and PlayStation 3 and 4. The kids enjoyed the pool as well. The breakfast had variety and was yummy.

    The rooms are roomy and comfortable. The gym facility is well thought out and one of the best in Oyster Bay. The pool is big enough to get some laps in and relax (if you choose not to go to a local beach) and it is well protected from road noise. The spa was nice and I visited it three times during my week long stay. The massage was adequate to relax after many months of travels. I would definitely state the spa is second only to the personnel working the front desk.

    We stayed here briefly before an early flight. The room was spacious, although very simple. The fan and A/C worked well so we had a good night's rest. The hotel manager helped us arrange a reliable driver which was extremely helpful and gave us peace of mind. We got to eat dinner cooked by his wife while we were in a hurry to go get our rapid COVID tests and it was some of the best food I had in TZ.

I loved that my room was spacious and clean with great views of the ocean. All in all, you would not regret staying at the Giraffe Beach Hotel. Excellent value for money! It's going down on my list of fantastic hotels in Dar.

You can easily access the beach through white sands hotel which is just opposite. Ordering off the menu is also affordable though there is an extra cost of Tshs. 5,000/= The neighborhood is serene and quite relaxing.
