    My stay at Johari Rotana was delightful. The luxurious sea view room featured floor-to-ceiling windows that bathed the apartment in sunlight, showcasing stunning views of the harbor. The attentive staff provided exceptional service, ensuring our comfort throughout our visit.

    Limited nearby dining options.

    fantastic view

    This was just an appropriate option for a short visit in Dar es Salaam with fantastic value for money. The view from my room was really nice, especially in the morning when the sun lit up the city. Try to clarify transportation details ahead to avoid confusion during check-out.

    stunning breakfast
    attentive staff
    lack of nearby shops
    pre-arrival planning
    inconvenient location

    In a bustling area, the hotel boasts a fantastic poolside bar and a stunning breakfast spread featuring local bread. While the location is convenient for ferry access, it lacks nearby shops for last-minute supplies, making pre-arrival planning essential. Despite these challenges, the attentive staff and well-appointed rooms enhance the experience significantly.

    Great service and awesome dining!

    I had a little accident when I slipped and cut my eyebrow, but the staff were superfast in helping me out. They gave me first aid and took me to get treated. Really appreciated that! Also enjoyed the cozy restaurant for dinner – perfect spot to chill after a long day. The only bummer was the pool was a bit crowded.

    amazing service

    Family with children suitable

    The staff were amazing like a well oiled machine running to help out in every way possible. Cyprian and Nassir were ready to assist with strollers and answered every question we had like they read our minds.

    It wasn’t exactly cheap but the value was fair for what we got.

    Enjoyed the stunning sea view from our room and the quick room service that brought up extra towels right away. The outdoor swimming pool and wellness facilities were a great way to unwind after busy days. Just a heads up, the menu could use more variety, especially for vegetarian options! 😊
