Hyatt Regency Dar Es Salaam, The Kilimanjaro
10/10 Excellent
"The staff was delightful and very helpful, particularly the desk clerk who checked us in, Pius who helped with our bags, and Shaban who helped us acquire an item from a local pharmacy."
"Had a wonderful stay at the four points Dar es Salaam, location was great for getting around the city, getting the ferry etc, the harbour room views were stunning, could not fault the staff from porters to check in, restaurant staff etc, nothing was too much to ask. I will stay here again if I come back and can recommend it for a city hotel "
"I love the quiet and the convenience of the stay here. It is a 5 minute drive to the airport (traffic allowing, of course), and it is really close to the Simba grocery store. The breakfast buffet and omelettes cooked to order are a highlight of each morning!"
"The positioning of the property was excellent for us as it was in the area we preferred.
All the staff from the driver who picked us up from the airport to the one who returned us there were polite, friendly,caring and very helpful. I would happily return there. "
"This property is incredibly well kept and the staff are among the most hospitable you will ever come across in East Africa. The pool area is a great place to hangout with a view and close to the restaurant inside which in itself is magnificent. "
