Safari Inn

We've slept at Safari Inn one night. Rooms are clean and comfortable, good for the price, and breakfast is the typical breakfast you get in hotels of this category. We were back in Dar after a couple of weeks and the hotel staff allowed us to leave our luggage for free during the day although we would not stay overnight and organised our transfer to the airport. Very kind and helpful!

Do not go! infested with bed bugs! We tried 2 different rooms and all beds were full of bed bugs!

Basic but clean rooms. Very central secure location. Some very good restaurants nearby. Extremely helpful staff who arranged inexpensive airport transfers and more for me. The laundry service is excellent. Clothes come back same day so neatly I think they may even have been ironed too. Tip the laundry man well..he is not charging enough.

It's a very rundown and old hotel but I come back every time I stay in Dar. It's very cheap and the location is unbeatable for that price, very central and close to the ferry to Zanzibar. The staff is nice, breakfast is basic but good with fruits, juice and eggs (for an extra 2000), and there's lots of nice restaurants in the area. If you're on a small budget and don't have high expectations it's a good place.

For the price point, this is a very basic accommodation option in the centre of Dar es Salaam. It is easy walking distance to the ferry terminal and the beach as well as all of the city centre attractions. Rooms are small and simple but fine for a night - it is very quiet at night. The thing that stood out for us however was the service - very welcoming, helpful and flexible, including letting us leave our baggage for a week whilst taking a trip to Zanzibar and even shower and freshen up on our return before heading to the airport. Plenty of tips for the neighbourhood and generally very friendly. Bearing in mind the pricing compared to other nearby options I was very satisfied with Safari Inn and would recommend to any budget travellers.

Budget hotel in central town. Great location but a very run down place. The rooms felt dirty, a lot of the fixtures and furniture items were broken, the rooms are poorly designed, the bathroom very basic too. Still felt overpriced even though the price is low. The breakfast was very poor. Does the job, but do not expect anything great.

Excellent location at 10 mins walk from Zanzibar ferry, room with air conditioning and fan, very reasonably priced. We had forgotten a bag full of valuables in our taxi, who then unknowingly drove off. The managers were kind enough to help us call the airport taxi company (we had only the taxi driver's name to go on) and eventually helped us locate the bag! Thank you so much!

I stayed here for 2nights which i regret now. Although if we talk about the restaurants and shops near the hotel, it is really accessible and close to a lot of shops and restos, perfect location. But the hotel itself is not good at all!|But hands down to the staff who are always helpful especially the tall local guard outside who walked me to the restaurant when i arrived late evening. He was very nice. |Belowbare just few of the things i found that needs improvement. |1. It is very noisy! If i dont use earplugs i dont know how i would survive those nights.|2. Bathroom is very old, not cleaned properly and the shower faucets are broken!|3. Breakfast is very very basic, just a piece of toast with jam, juice and coffee plus banana. If you ask for eggs, you have to pay 1000tsh! Like what is that?|
