Clean hotel great service. Rooms are much more up to date than other hotels around. Breakfast is definitely geared towards Indian clients, however that didn't put us off. Staff in the restaurant were amazing! We had a small hiccup when we first arrived, but was rectified immediately. Great place to stay if you need to be in the centre of Dar.

Older hotel that has nice updates. The room and bathroom were very nice and comfortable. The staff was friendly. The food at the restaurants was mostly Indian dishes.

This is a very good hotel in the city centre. The wifi worked well and the restaurant served good food (and beer). The room was spacious, clean and comfortable, and the air conditioning worked well. The biggest plus as far as I was concerned was the helpfulness and friendliness of the staff and management, which was outstanding. This will be my hotel of choice on my return to Dar es Salaam.

I am used to stay in this hotel every time I visit Dar for about more than 4 years. At least a week stay every year. Very nice property with comfort, easy accessible, good location. Especially for Indian traveller it's a good choice as very close to Indian temples, Indian foods at walkable distance. Overall a good hotel.

Just stayed Last Week at the Hotel Sapphire - Dar Es Salaam (Mtendeni), The Location is great in the city centre with easy access around Dar; we really enjoyed the stay and were looked after by all the staff (especially the Manager Nityanand Upadhyay). The rooms are large, clean with LED TV, Air Con, fridge, microwave, small electric hob and free WIFI that worked everytime!, even the shower was more powerful than my power shower at home. The restaurant food was great with local, Indian and western taste catered for. We travelled in and out of Dar Es Salaam to Mtwara, Zanzibar and Arusha but our main luggage stayed in the Hotel with no problems even when we left at 4.30am the staff were always helpful, courteous and remembered us after everytime we returned (it made us feel we had come home) Thank you to all the Staff and Nityanand Upadhyay for making our stay so wonderful :))

My room had several problems with the facilities. Some outlet sockets were out of order, the kettle was broken, and the fridge was also out of order. Once the curcuit breaker tripped at night. I think the rooms need more frequent maintenance. Staff were always quick to respond to solve the problems and I was happy with that.

The hotel was in relatively good locality. Little bit far from Airport considering local traffic and ongoing Bridge construction going on in Dar Es Salaam. Restaurant food was one of the big plus. Roof top Bar & Restaurant was quite good, helps to relax after hectic work day. Local Taxis are always available outside the hotel.

The staff were all charming and friendly. Restaurant service one night was so slow I left - 45 minute wait for a curry!! There was a function upstairs, and I don't think they thought anyone else would be eating. Breakfast (included) was OK, much Indian food, but omlets made to order.
