We certainly enjoyed our stay at this holiday Inn. The staff were amazing, responsive, and very professional. The facilities can do with some upgrading, but nothing that took away from our vacation. Would highly recommend this location.

Great!

Holiday Inn Dar es Salaam was great! My favorite part was their 24/7 kitchen and room service. Also, there rooftop bar was nice and a great way to relax at the end of the day. I will book this hotel again.
