Pros:

I had a wonderful stay at Blackwood Hotel and would absolutely stay here again. The hotel was cozy, clean, and very comfortable. The Wi-Fi worked great throughout my stay, the shower had reliable hot water, and the pool was a lovely place to relax.

One of the highlights was the breakfast—it was absolutely amazing and definitely worth trying. The food was fresh, delicious, and a great way to start the day.

The staff were incredibly kind, professional, and courteous, always willing to help with a smile. Overall, this was one of the nicest hotels I have stayed at in Dar es Salaam. Everything exceeded my expectations, and I highly recommend it to anyone visiting the city.

Pros:

What you see is what you get.
The size of the room and the bed is as seen.
The room was always clean and cool.
The food was great and the quantities were nit a joke( their sandwiches could feed two 😀).

Cons:

The distance to city centre is a bit of a drive ( mostly to do with the ongoing road constructions than anything else)
