Staff was very helpful and the airport shuttle in the middle of the night was the main reason i booked here. Definitely a great value if you have a very short layover.

So convenient to and from the airport. Not fancy but more than adequate for travelers looking for a good value and pleasant experience. I stayed extra days due to business in Dar before departure to Mbeya. Friendly and helpful staff. Shopping for essentials nearby as well as English language church on Sunday. I travel to TZ every year and I will stay at this Hotel from now on. Asante sana Transit Motel Suites!

The hotel is very convenient for the airport and is a good option if you just want a bed for the night. Rooms are simple but clean. Staff were helpful with my luggage as there wasn’t an elevator. Free transport to and from the airport was excellent.

Just what you need for a transit stop over. Great location, friendly staff, nice beds. Maybe throw in some earplugs as there's some traffic noise but hey, that's just Dar for you

Good options for a Dar airport overnight stay. Comfy bed. Good service. Late check in at midnight, early check out at 4am. Only option close to the airport so it worked.
