Airport Transit Lodges

The place is very good, convenient and very close to the airport. Loved the service and the place

Well, you get what you pay for. Everything is very basic and it’s very difficult to get a good nights sleep as the flight path is directly over the hotel and there is no sound-proofing.  The room was relatively clean, but the bathroom had a septic smell to it coming from the drain, and the bed wasn’t very comfortable.  3 positive aspects: - Location to the airport (which is what I wanted due to an early morning flight). - The staff were friendly.  - Airport drop off was included.

Neat room, standards are good for a budget stay. Very clean. Orientation is required on how to use their geyser.

I had to stay at this hotel due to a flight complication. It was late at night and the reception was friendly. It is a very modest hotel but for the price it seemed fair. The air conditioning was struggling to keep the room cool but I did get a solid nights rest. It is a convenient hotel to the airport only about 10 minutes away.

If all you want is a place to stretch out close to the airport between flights then this place is fine. It was hard to reach them to arrange the transfer from the airport but the driver was there to pick up someone else so it worked out ok. It is very close to the airport (approx. 7 minutes). The room was tiny and it was only a double bed so things were tight. The shower is open to the bathroom so the floor floods around the sink and the toilet. We headed back to the airport very early and did not have the breakfast. They do have a tiny restaurant with a limited menu on site but we didn't eat there.

This is a very decent hotel. The staff is helpful, and the food is remarkably high quality. It's also just a 5-minute drive from the airport, making it ideal for avoiding Dar's busy traffic. It's not cheap, but overall, it's worth the price.

The hotel has a good location, the rooms are spacious enough, and the restaurant food is decent. On paper, it should have been a comfortable stay. Unfortunately, the service that worked during the night between the 31st of August and 1st of September completely ruined the experience. We had to check out at 4:00am on Monday (1.09) and were hoping for a quiet night of rest instead of waiting at the airport. Instead, the receptionist played loud music from his phone between 10:00pm and 1:00am, laughing and talking to someone on the phone at high volume until midnight. Just as we finally fell asleep, his one person party escalated as he started playing music again at 1:00am, singing and whistling. When I asked him to stop, he did but then continued dragging heavy wooden chair for another 30 minutes before finally quieting down. We managed to fall asleep only around 1:30am. In the morning, he even asked how the night was as if he didn’t already know. Honestly, airplanes approaching Dar es Salaam airport are quieter than the receptionist was. Overall, while the hotel itself is fine, the arrogant and rude behavior of the night staff completely overshadowed the positives. Will never visit again.
