Not for a novice traveller

Staff were ok, room really needs some maintenance, terrible bathroom door, restaurant could have more variety for Western travellers. Towels old, need hand towel, bathmat, decent soap. I wouldn't recommend for the novice traveller. Hotel is in a vibrant, busy area which I appreciate. Local merchants are friendly and helpful, bjaji drivers amiable and fun to converse with, curious about a 76 yr old female solo traveller. So love the locals!!

Sleep Inn Hotel, Dar es Salaam, Tansania

Varaus hotelliin tuli tehtyä vahingossa. Tarkoitus oli mennä Sleep Inn Hotel Centrumiin, joka oli tuttu ennestään. Vaihto ei enää ollut mahdollinen, mikä kyllä harmitti, koska maksettu hinta olisi ollut sama. Huone oli pieni, mutta sänky hyvä. Jääkaappi, parveke ja vedenkeitin dekä lämmin vesi suohkussa hyviä. Aamiainen oli keskinkertainen, aika vähän valikoimaa. Hotellin sijainti oli tällä kertaa hyvä, koska oli Kariakoo torille asiaa ja myös lähtö läheltä bussiasemalta. Henkilökunta ystävällistä ja englannin kielitaidon puutteista huolimatta avuliaita. Ravintoloita lähellä ja ksuppoja. Alkoholia ei myydä hotellissa.

I love this property. Been staying here since the early 2000s. Cheap, close to city city, and to all that Dar Es Salaam has to offer. I love the evening street meal just outside the hotel. From nyama choma to all the flovored India, Arabic, and persian cuisines. All at the lowest price anybody can afford. I will be there everytime I visit Dar Es Salaam.

Good Value, in a Native neighbourhood

A clean and safe place, with a decent breakfast, but off the main tourist area, on southern Dar-es-Salaam. It is a 10 minute walk form City Mall, which has food stalls, and about 30 minutes' drive form the airport (taxi about 50,000 shillings, Uber about 20,000) It is safe, but quite a dark area at night.

Low budget hotel

its a nice hotel to stay but being in a busy market place its too noisy. Anyone in the corridor is walking u can hear it . The room doors make noise when opened and closed. The vibration / airflow also effects ur room door as it vibrates. Bathroom is compact. Has shower option only. Hot water is thru geyser. The sink is Japanese size while faucet the Arab size so u always spill water. If bathroom door left open funny noise comes from the drainage. This hotel is dry there is no BAR . Breakfast closes at 10 AM. Room service is limited. There is a hawker opposite the hotel which serves nice BBQ and is reasonable $5 for 1/2 grilled chicken. The hotel does not provide any toiletries. The towel is worn out. No slippers are provide.No kettle in the room so no tea or coffee. No bottled water is provided. There is no safe in the room so u need to take care of valuable. Laundry is $1 which is reasonable. if low on budget this is the place to stay. The double bed mattress was well used as if sleeping in a coffin. Which was changed on complaing on the 3rd day of my stay.

Our room was rather small. Hotel staff were friendly but we had difficulty getting hot water, despite complaining. On our departure morning the lock on our door jammed and they sent for a technician. Fortunately I was able to get it open in time to catch our ferry.

Hotel in the picture is NOT Sleep Inn Kariakoo

Located in a highly populated area of town, the first room had no windows and the mildew smell was nauseating. Second room had windows which kept the smell down. A fridge was the only blessing; nothing else. Sadly, it was a case of getting exactly what I paid for. Staff were very friendly. The hotel building is not the one in the photo on Expedia site. I don't recommend this hotel to anyone. Expedia - please revise the listing.
