Dar es Salaam Hotels

Kilimanjaro Hotel

Advantages: Quality of service, Distance from city centre
Disadvantages: Cost

The recently renovated hotel has been taken over by an international chain. A complete transformation from the 3* that it was to a 5* that it now is.

The staff is extremely polite and friendly. The view from the rooms facing the Dar es Salaam port is beautiful. ...

Review of The Peacock Hotel, Tanzania

Home made food at Marangu Hotel

Advantages: Friendly staff, home made food, serious about their business as tour guides
Disadvantages: A bit out of town

I stayed at the Marangu hotel for a few nights in connection with climbing Kilimanjaro in September/October 2003. When I arrived at Kilimanjaro International airport I had already been in touch with the hotel and arranged for a pick-up. The hotel is located about 1 hour and 15 minutes away from the airport. The hotel is a former farm and it was built in the early 1900s. The hotel consists of several cottages and buildings and they were not that impressive ...
...have no problem recommending the Marangu hotel as accommodation or as a tour guide when it comes to trekking on Kilimanjaro.
