As a returning guest, passing through the revolving doors of the Johari Rotana is always a magical experience. For me, t
Pros:

First of all, it’s centrally located in the city, making it easy to connect with other parts of the country. 3 minutes walks to the Zanzibar ferry, easy access to government and private businesses, nearby stores for a shopping experience in the historic part of Dar es Salaam. Secondly, from my arrival experience to going to my room, the comfort of the bed and the amenities provided, everything is clearly intentionally made for my experience to be unforgettable.

Cons:

It’s really hard to say what I didn’t like. Perhaps the 8th floor restaurant which closes… But what? The hotel obviously has room service.

Hôtel en centre ville avec ses avantages et ses inconvénients
Pros:

Belle salle de bain.
La vue sur la baie et la salle de sport sont superbes. Le petit déjeuner est très copieux.

Cons:

Chambre spacieuse mais qui manque de cachet pour un hôtel qui affiche des prix relativement élevés.
Les repas servis aux restaurants sont de qualité moyenne.
La piscine est grande mais manque d'intimité près des tables de la terrasse et avec une vue sur la ville un peu triste.
