Protea Hotel Dar es Salaam Courtyard

I truly enjoyed my stay here during a work trip in July. The staff were welcoming, the property very well kept, and the gardens added such a relaxing touch. Each morning’s breakfast was fresh, tasty, and impressively varied, featuring local delicacies alongside familiar favorites. A special thanks to Mr. Sami for his outstanding assistance throughout.

I stayed at Protea Courtyard for two weeks, longer than I’ve stayed at any hotel. The management and staff there were terrific, personable and kind. Very intuitive and accommodating to me and my kids. I had the double room, it was spacious and very clean. Housekeeping came everyday to clean, make up our bedsf and change out our towels. Total resort treatment. The kids had fun swimming in the pool or just hanging out at the pool. The morning breakfast is on another level, delicious!! The chef makes so many dishes, there’s something for everyone. My kids and I felt quite safe inside the hotel and the surrounding neighborhood. The hotel is centrally located, making it easy to Uber anywhere, especially the beaches, mall and the carving district. There’s also an ATM located directly across the street, which was super convenient. Anytime I come back to Dar, this is the hotel I’ll be staying at without question.

I regularly visit this hotel for my business travels to Dar es Salaam. I have also visited other hotels there. I keep coming back to this charming hotel because of its location close to the university, and because of its cosy inner square, good food and friendly personnel. Last August I had a personal problem while staying at the hotel, and the staff and management were extremely helpful, I had not expected this level of professional and personal care. So I will be coming back there.

Safe Kind staff And that is where the positives end... Sad, dark rooms, which were technically clean but smelled too much of a mix of mould and heavy chemical products. Mine was adorned with a dead cockroach, which I suppose is better than a live one. Absolutely ZERO sound insulation on your room, so given that this seems to be an overnight stop for many (safaris, business travelers, etc), you hear car alarms, suitcase wheels, weird bells, and more, at all hours. For me, this is completely unacceptable and not workable. A shame, because on the website, one might imagine otherwise....

I have been staying at the Protea in Dar for over 9 years. The staff is very helpful and incredibly friendly. The rooms are nice and clean. The location is very convenient particularly if you are visiting MUHAS campus, the city proper, or Masaki. Excellent breakfast and solid restaurant. Strongly recommend!

The place is kinda old fashioned blended with modern designs. For the food its good we had a buffet self service, the desserts are the best Staff members are very gentle and helpful Generally we enjoyed it
