Hotels near Upanga East, Dar es salaam

The CRJE Hotel boasts hardware that meets domestic five-star standards and is conveniently located in the heart of Dar es Salaam, making travel easy. Rooms offer excellent views of the sea and harbor. The Chinese restaurant has Chinese chefs, serving authentic cuisine at 150-200 yuan per person, which is suitable for business travelers with a generous budget. Breakfast is just okay, but the pool and gym facilities are comprehensive and modern. However, there are clear downsides: communication was poor, and multiple requests to change the bedsheets went unfulfilled; eventually, I was told there were no clean sheets available. Housekeeping was not thorough; items like tissues were not replenished for days after running out. The room's weight scale was broken. The power supply was unstable, with more than 10 power outages daily. Although power was restored quickly, it significantly impacted the experience.

The resort was definitely much smaller than it appeared in the pictures, but it was very nice indeed. Beautiful clean white sand, a lovely relaxing vibe, and generally pleasant surroundings. There is not much to do apart from swimming for my six-year-old, but that in itself was enjoyable. It was peak season, therefore it was a little bit crowded, however not to the point of total discomfort. The staff were pleasant and accommodating, and the restaurant food was mostly very tasty. Our one suggestion was well received, and likely to be rectified soonest. Nice breakfast spread - included all the stations, but the hot food selection could be a little more exciting. It would be great if the hotel itself could organize one or two activities. There was a volleyball and an attempt at a game the guests tried to pioneer which never quite happened. The rooms size is sufficient, nice big bed, my only complaint would be the fact that the fridge can be difficult to locate as it is very strangely positioned and hidden behind some panels. The central air conditioning seemed to be off in certain places, so it was hot in the corridors, fortunately the room air conditioning works very well. There isn't really anything in the way of fast food places and restaurants in close proximity, so only the hotel restaurant. This is fine for a few nights, but would probably get tedious for a longer stay. We enjoyed our stay overall, and would recommend and visit again!

very bad experiences, they deducted my money from credit card twice, not returned yet

I arrived in Dar es Salaam close to midnight after a layover in Ethiopia. As it was my first time in the country, I felt quite anxious. After exiting the airport, I wasn't sure how to get to the hotel, so I called them to ask if they could pick me up. Although the hotel stated that I'd be responsible for the round-trip pick-up fee, I felt an inexplicable sense of relief when I saw that the person who came was the hotel owner, a fellow Chinese national. I had booked a comfortable king room, but upon arrival, the owner upgraded me to a sea-view king room, saying there was one available anyway and I might as well enjoy a more pleasant stay. I was incredibly grateful! While the breakfast wasn't as lavish as what you'd find in a Chinese hotel, it was still suitable and sufficient for a Chinese guest. I stayed for just one night before heading to Zanzibar, and though the process was a bit rushed, overall, I was very satisfied with my stay.

Came down on Friday evening for our flight on Sunday morning. Easy to reach all the amenities for shopping, breakfast on the average for these hotels but the staff was very helpful. Will stay again when in Dar.

Exceptional Experience! I recently had the pleasure of staying at your hotel, and I must say, it exceeded all my expectations!
