Our air conditioner stopped working in the middle of the night. We couldn't get a hold of anyone to get it fixed or get moved. It was very frustrating.

We stayed at the Crowne Plaza at the start of April for 5 nights. The staff were very helpful and obliging and when we requested a room change, it was no trouble. We had booked breakfast and there was plenty of choice - from continental to Swahili. Thank you Crowne Plaza for a lovely stay.

Business Trip to Dar es Salaam
The second stay at the Crowne Plaza in Dar es Salaam is always a pleasure. Good food and clean rooms, and friendly staff in the reception. The gym is ideal on the first floor, and the hotel is approximately 10km from the International Airport.

The place to stay in Dar Es Salaam Central
This is always my nr 1 place to stay in Dar Es Salaam when I go there for business. Rooms are comfortable, great breakfast, excellent location. Nothing to complain about and they also have 24hour check in, if your flight arrive at an unusual time.
