The Urban Rose Hotel is certainly a 'Rose' in the middle of the City. The staff, as all reviews state, are exceptionally friendly. They stand back and let you use the lift first, they carry your bags, smile and say hello, nothing is too much trouble. They're wonderful and made our four night stay unforgettable. The breakfast was delicious. Each day there were differing varieties of curries and accompaniments. Of course there was a good selection of fresh fruit, toast and cereals or freshly made omelettes. All served with a smile by the ever helpful waiting staff. Our room was large and spacious with a kitchen, sitting room, bedroom, shower and toilet. There were two air-conditioning units and three ceiling fans, so keeping cool was a breeze. The room was clean and serviced each day with all toiletries being replenished as required. The restaurant is, open in the evening and on Saturday night there is an all you can eat buffet. The hotel is well positioned for all the sights of the City and around a half an hour taxi ride from the airport, traffic willing. All in all a great place to stay in Dar es Salaam.

All good nothing to dislike

Staff always on hand 24 hrs to help. Never did they complain. The maintenance guys, the housekeeping lady and security at the front of the building. We never had to wait for service. They were prompt and professional and friendly. Always served with a smile. It felt very homely and safe to stay here.

Nothing to not like.

Everything was good. People, facilities. What impressed me and my family were the staff. 4am we should left to airport. So we couldn't eat breakfast. But they prepared lunch box for all of my family. Sandwiches and fruits. Even though other hotels and people scammed us, only this hotel was welcoming and kind to us. So if you go to Dar. Stay this hotel. You will never regret your choice. Thank you. We really enjoyed 😉

Nothing

We were a group of 12 and stayed at the Urban Rose Hotel. The manager, Mr. Raaj was fantastic. He took care of our airport shuttle by providing a bus to and from the airport. It was reassuring to know the hotel would pick us up at 1100pm at night. He also arranged a wonderful breakfast buffet for 530 am on the day we were traveling to the airport. He and the managers of each shift was very helpful. Mr. Raaj suggested we spend the day in Mbudya Island by taking a short boat ride to this beautiful island which was a secluded white sand pristine beach. There were huts and they served fresh fish and lobster. The restaurant in the Urban Rose Hotel served delicious Indian and Chinese food. I would definitely stay again if I return to Tanzania.

The stay was wonderful so there was nothing I did not like.

This hotel is located right by city center. It is at a prime location close to amneties. Staff members are very friendly. I loved the breakfast at this hotel. They have their own menu too for lunch/dinner items that we often ordered from and my young kids enjoyed it. I'd definitely return to this hotel for our next trip.

The staff were excellent, very friendly and very helpful. The food on offer at the restaurant for both breakfast and dinner was good value and very tasty. I was put in an upgraded room, which was very kind. The room was clean and really comfortable.

The location was very central and fine. However, having spent one night in the Masaki region, I think that is a slightly better location...it felt like more was happening there.

Very large suite with two AC units and three ceiling fans. Good ventilation with open screened windows in bathroom and kitchenette. Lots of space, plus balcony. Nice sofa, chairs, desk, table=-plenty of work space. Refrigerator, and bottled water provided daily. Excellent buffet breakfast with good Indian choices and lots of tropical fruit. Front desk staff very helpful; kindly allowed us late check-out for our evening flight.

Kitchen and cleaning supplies minimal. Limited reading light.

The location is great, near to the habour and the cathedral, close to street food restaurants and local bars. The room(s) were big and comfortable, with small kitchen, a living room and a bed room, 3 ACs, fans, a balcony, ect. The staff were super helpfull and friendly, thanks to all of you! We would definately coming back!

We arrived at 1:30 am, The gentleman at the front desk was very helpful. He checked us in right away so that we could rest without worry for which we were very grateful. The staff was friendly and helpful, the room was clean and comfortable, the location was central and we enjoyed our stay. We especially enjoyed the young man and young lady on the breakfast crew. They were very attentive and pleasant, great start to our mornings!

very close to the ferry, comfortable but most of all very friendly staff, even offered my elderly friends a ride to the ferry at no charge which is rare in this town. So lovely.

some real coffee at the breakfast buffet would have been good.
