Pros:

Checking in was seamless. Exceptional service and the staff were super friendly and accommodating. Raju attended right away to assist with the safe in my son's unit. Very personable and willing to go above and beyond. We stayed at this hotel 20 years ago and glad we chose to stay again. Great location with a beautiful view. Room was spacious and so was the bathroom. Highly recommend this hotel.

Ok but that's about it
Pros:

As a frequent traveler with extensive experience across hotels in Dar es Salaam, I recently stayed at Harbour View Suites following a last-minute flight cancellation. My visit lasted only one night, which may limit the scope of my assessment, but certain impressions were clear.

I had booked through Hotels.com and upon arrival was told the hotel was fully booked. For a moment, I was almost relieved, as the reception area was rather uninspiring and lacked the appeal one would expect from a hotel in this category. Eventually, I was given a room, possibly because payment had already been processed, but the experience did not set a reassuring tone.

Once upstairs, the atmosphere changed slightly. The corridors and room areas were noticeably better maintained, and the room itself was clean and functional. For a one-night stay, it was adequate. However, it is not the kind of hotel that invites a return. While the basics were covered, there was nothing particularly compelling in terms of comfort, service, or overall ambience.

In a city like Dar es Salaam, where I have stayed in numerous hotels, Harbour View Suites would not rank among my preferred options. I would place it around 6 to 7 out of 10. It serves its purpose in a pinch but falls short of delivering a memorable or satisfying experience.

Great place and service in the city center.
Pros:

We were picked up at the airport exactly as described. The porter escorted us to the 11th floor reception and everyone was very helpful. In fact the porter walked us to the ferry office to get our tickets for the next day. This was early above and beyond customer service. We ate at the restaurant and the food was OK and prices reasonable. Unfortunately the windows were quite dirty, so we couldn’t fully enjoy the view of the harbor. While Dar es Salaam is working hard to improve the city, it has a long way to go. We were hoping to take a walk and that just wasn’t possible without being hassled. The hotel did everything they could to reduce that experience but there is only so much they could do. If I needed to stay in the city center, I would stay there.
