"It is a very quiet well placed little hotel, well looked after and with very helpful staff.

Unfortunately also we did not try the other amenities like the gym and swimming pool but we will certainly stay there again so as to enjoy them as well as the dinner. I think the price was also very fair. Richard Mabala"

Protea Hotel by Marriott Dar es Salaam Courtyard

8/10 Good

"A relatively nice place but needs some significant updating and TLC. Bed linen and sheets are very poor quality and seem very old. Lots of spots around the room with wires hanging, or plaster no painted over etc.. Rather unusual shower made out of doors! Location is good for most things"

Colosseum Hotel & Fitness Club

10/10 Excellent

"I highly recommend this place. Great place to stay and staff is very helpful. I would definitely go back there."
