Pros:

Μείναμε μισή μέρα καθώς είχαμε πτήση τα ξημερώματα. Η τοποθεσία ήταν τέλεια αφού είναι κοντά στο λιμάνι και σχετικά κοντά στο αεροδρόμιο. Το προσωπικό ήταν εξυπηρετικό και το φαγητό στο εστιατόριο ήταν καλό.

Cons:

Η σάουνα ήταν εκτός λειτουργίας.

Our go-to hotel in Dar es Salaam
Pros:

My husband and I have stayed at CBD Hotel several times over the past couple of years, and it's always enjoyable! All the staff are exceptional, from the reservations manager Shariffa Shaban to the concierge Yohanne, as well as all the employees at the reception, the restaurant and management are extremely friendly and helpful. They recognize us by name and take care of all our requests promptly.
The breakfast at CBD Hotel offers a good variety, and the restaurant also serves good lunch and dinner. The location is just minutes away from Kariakoo market.
We love coming back here. Thank you to the great team at CBD Hotel!

Cons:

Can't think of anything
