It was my third trip to this hotel and it is always a pleasure. Overall the staff is very friendly (also not always very fast), the food is a lot better than before, the place beautiful (in the afternoon, when the sea is up especially).
This was a short business trip and the hotel was perfectly located for most of the offices I needed to visit. The staff were so helpful and thoughtful (they genuinely remembered my name and preferences!) - the hotel has a wonderful atmosphere. It was a very pleasant experience.
The checkin was fine. I was given the Key to room 311. Went up and the Key did not work. Luckely a cleaning lady was there and let me in. Got a New Key from reception later that worked. Was by the pool and its really nice but smelt like seward. The pir was closed due to renovation. The room was big but moist. I did not understand why Even the pillows and sheets were damp. Honestly not Worth the money they are charging. But the location is great
We booked a room for our valentine gateway but the place ruined it for us. The AC was switched on full time as we received the room and it was waaaaay too cold. We tried opening up the windows and switching off the AC and ended up with condensing humidity all over the room. It was literally raining inside the room, every corner of the room was dripping if not wet.The sheets were wet and some of our staffs got wet. đĄ
Rooms are good...but got two single beds instead of a double and an extra bed for our son so that was disappointing...the elevators are very old thy dont complete the beauty of the hotel . ..found only one pair of slippers and bathrobe n the room and the night shift was not able to get another pair of slippers...the bar had no drinks in the refrigerator....otherwise the hotel facility is very good and comfortable
High class hotel in a good area. All the services really close in Slipway. Very clean and comfortable stay. Staff really friendly and helpfull. Pool area is really nice.
This DoubleTree property is pretty expensive for what you get. Although the rooms are large, they are in need of some updating - generally, the property felt quite outdated. Breakfast/food was expensive and not nice; the hotel suffered from humidity (to be expected in Dar, but maybe not to this extent?). Housecleaning staff were friendly but results were somewhat inconsistent. If you have a room above the 2nd or 3rd floor on the ocean side, the view is great during high tide - unfortunately, the other side faces a busy-ish street and can be quite noisy, especially as the poas/electric rickshaws park directly outside of the parking lot to the DoubleTree - this also makes walking down to Slipway not the most delightful of experiences. All in all, an okay place to stay, but wouldn't rave about it.
