They welcome you during check in with a bottle of cold water. Breakfast is excellent and includes fresh coconut juice as well as other standard items. Very nice veranda for informal meetings near the pool. Pick up and drop from airport was very efficient. The park next door is an amazing place - must be enjoyed. Altogether a relaxing and efficient stay

This is a very friendly and nice hotel. The rooms are modern, very comfortable and clean with good Wi-Fi and TV with decent channels. The best surprise of this hotel was the excellent restaurant for dinner. The menu was diverse and food was excellent and beautiful presentation. High compliments to the dinner chef. I had an Indian dinner that was exquisite and grilled fish dinner special that was cooked to perfection. I also appreciated that they let me extend my check out time since my flight wasn’t until later. They were so friendly about it all. The pool area is pleasant and the garden next door offers a nice walk.

I had a lovely stay at the Southern Sun. The service is terrific, very friendly, great cleaning. The breakfast is SO delicious. And, they are close to shops, and also the board walk along Barack Obama Rd for sunset runs.

After a brief 2 night stay in the Southern Sun Dar es Salaam, I would definitely recommend the hotel as great place to stay if you in Dar Es Salaam for business. On my request the hotel arranged for me to be collected from the airport by taxi quite late in the evening. Check in was quick and easy, and I was most impressed that there were no additional questions or queries about my booking and prepayment through Hotel.com. The room and bathroom were well maintained, neat and clean. WiFi and TV channels worked well. Hot water to shower was not a problem. The resturant and food was of a high standard, as was the breakfast serviced in the morning. The hotel is well positioned and relatively close to most business areas including the CBD, however traffic is heavy during peak hours and needs to be considered when setting meeting times. Overall good experience, will definitely stay in this hotel on my next business trip.
