Always a perfect choice for business travelers, clean, calm and relaxed atmosphere. However, some ladies at the reception need more training on treating customers right.
Nicolas, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Overall, an enjoyable stay.

I found the property to be a very good choice for accommodation in Dar Es Salaam. It’s well situated, a short ride or an easy walk, to most points of interest in the business district and ferry port, for those looking to access Zanzibar via ferry. The staff overall were quite welcoming and friendly, and I found the room to be comfortable, clean, and with adequate amenities. The onsite restaurant is quite decent as well. Plus, other eateries are within walking distance of the hotel. Overall, an enjoyable stay.

We stayed at the Crowne Plaza at the start of April for 5 nights. The staff were very helpful and obliging and when we requested a room change, it was no trouble. We had booked breakfast and there was plenty of choice - from continental to Swahili. Thank you Crowne Plaza for a lovely stay.

The second stay at the Crowne Plaza in Dar es Salaam is always a pleasure. Good food and clean rooms, and friendly staff in the reception. The gym is ideal on the first floor, and the hotel is approximately 10km from the International Airport.
