Southern Sun Dar Es Salaam, Garden Avenue

My stay at the Southern Sun Hotel Dar es Salaam has truly been one of the best hotel experiences of my life. As I arrived in Dar es Salaam I had an accident, which required an accessible hotel stay. I was honestly nervous about finding a hotel. I called several places and many did not have accessible rooms. Because of my injury and not having full use of both legs, accessibility was not just a preference, it was a necessity. I was worried about how I would manage. From the moment I arrived, those worries disappeared. My room was absolutely accessible and exactly what I needed before going in for surgery at a nearby hospital. I could move around comfortably, use the bathroom without difficulty, and get up and down safely. It made such a difference during a very stressful time. What stood out even more than the room was the incredible service. Every single person I encountered was warm, kind, and attentive. The front desk staff were welcoming and genuinely caring. I have stayed in many hotels, but I have never experienced this level of sincere concern for my well being. The staff in the dining area noticed that I needed a chair with arms. After the first morning, they had one ready for me each day at breakfast without me even having to ask. That kind of thoughtfulness meant more than I can explain. While I have been in Dar es Salaam for medical treatment, members of the hotel staff have checked in to see how I am doing. After my first surgery, they even came to visit me at the hospital and brought a beautiful fruit basket. I have never in my life experienced that level of hospitality and genuine kindness. I am so grateful. During a very difficult and emotional time, they made me feel like I was not alone. They made me feel like I had family here. The hotel itself is extremely clean, the facilities smell wonderful, the food was delicious, the breakfast had many delicious options and everything is well cared for. But it is the people who truly make this place special. I actually plan to return before I leave Dar es Salaam, just to stay again and see everyone before I head back to the US. That says everything. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I recommend this hotel one hundred percent.

We stayed for a total of three nights and had a very good experience. The hotel is comfortable, clean, and in a convenient location. The staff were attentive and made sure everything went smoothly throughout our stay.|One small note: the shower takes a minute or two to warm up before the hot water runs consistently, but after that it works well.|The real highlight was the restaurant and bar. Both offered great food, good variety, and excellent service — a big plus to have such a reliable option right on site.|Overall, we were very satisfied and would be happy to stay here again.

LEGENDS, ALL OF THEM. our flight was cancelled and at least a hundred people descended on this hotel at around midnight! Dinner was served by the super helpful staff. Food choice was excellent and the food was so tasty! I would definitely come back again. Huge buffet available for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Has to be one of the best run hotels I have been to ! Really so impressed with the staff! Tanzania and Zanzibar you have been sooooo good!

The location is very convenient, with easy access to nearby attractions and restaurants. The food at the hotel was delicious, with a good variety to choose from, and the prices were reasonable for the quality offered. The rooms were comfortable and well-maintained, making it a relaxing stay overall. I would definitely recommend Southern Sun for anyone visiting Dar Es Salaam, whether for business or leisure.

I loved the kind staff and how they kept their rooms clean. Big up to housekeeping. I'll definitely visit again 😚❤️
