It is a good value for money , close to the city centre, easy access to uber/bolt
Pros:

The breakfast is largely Indian cuisine, a mix would be good - continental + indian

Cons:

The room was overall clean, but there seemed to have been some construction going on before , it made the room have small cockroaches. They attempted to fumigate though.

Hotel Sapphire is great, especially if you’re looking for a comfortable and convenient hotel in downtown Dar!
Pros:

The location is great! The staff were super helpful and kind - we really enjoyed our stay and would certainly come back.

Cons:

We came as a group and some rooms complained about low water pressure, but there wasn’t anything major that we didn’t like.

Pros:

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.
