Top hotels in Upanga East
Crowne Plaza Dar es Salaam by IHG
As a foodie person, I really didn’t enjoy much of the hotel food. And extremely expensive for no reason. Most of the high end and expensive hotels in Dar have better food and aren’t as expensive as CROWNE PLAZA. Management need to review and make changes.
