A great place for one night stay the room is clean and tidy, breakfast was included. Showers were hot and there was aircon in the room.. Our room had a balcony and views across the City. The bed was reasonably comfortable. The hotel is in a good location for the City and there are plenty of reasonable places to eat especially Mambo'z on the street.

There was nothing I disliked

Very friendly staff, very comfortable king-size bed, breakfast on rooftop, excellent location (safe), 1 minute walk from restaurant offering a wide range of delicious food (you can see and pick what you want to eat). Very close to the museum, ferry, markets and key monuments. The hotel exceeded my expectations. Highly recommend!

It was perfect

I had forgotten that breakfast was offered and that was great. Up on the roof terrace with a view of the inner city. The one house crow stole a baked item from my table, but that was a) my fault and b) very entertaining.

Google map struggled to get us to the entrance of the Econo Lodge. Maybe Econo Lodge could contact them.

Good location, value for money and well equipped.

Pathetic staff at the breakfast location. Didn't seem to care and would only cater to Western looking tourists. I didn't get to eat anything as they would rather sit inside than help.

We liked how welcoming the service providers are, very friendly and helpful. The reception was so good looking.

The breakfast. It's so limiting. No sausages, no cereals.. There's no varieties for breakfast but I think they can do better.

Every thing from Location, cleanses, breakfast, staff and all the services were to my expectations. I would choose this hotel again on my visit to Dar-es-Salaam and would recommend as well.

Not a thing i did not like

We liked the location, the private bathroom with hot water and good water pressure, air conditioning and fan plus mosquito net. The wifi was decent as well. Staff were friendly and the room was clean.

The room was spacious, well-ventilated, and filled with natural light. The balcony offers a lovely view of the city, and the location is conveniently close to the SGR train station.

Clean and quiet. A comfortable bed. Allowed for a late checkout. Great location to get business done downtown, but not a madhouse of noise.

Light in the bathroom was too dim.
