The restaurant was nice when we dined there. All of the staff are very friendly and went out of their way to help us when we approached them with questions. They always did their best to make sure we were comfortable and when they were not able to leave their post to assist us they found someone trustworthy who would guide us from the hotel to help us carry out specific tasks. The service goes above and beyond the asking price.

Pros: Friendly and happy staff, full marks to the hotel management

Cons: It took too long for the food to arrive each time after ordering in the outside restaurant

Pros: Their breakfast is a joke! Out of words to describe this place!

Cons: 1.Breakfast was terrible! If you ever wanna try bony chicken nuggets, undercooked buns and spoilt fruits for breakfast, you're most welcome to lodge at Greenlight Hotel! 2. They threw us out of the room at exactly 10 a.m and made us wait for our ride outside with our luggage. That was by far the most humiliating experience I've ever had in a hotel! Couldn't even allow us late check out by a few minutes! Pathetic! 3. Would you ever go back to a hotel that would deny you an iron?! This place is something else!

Pros: We were warmly received. The manager welcomed us at the airport and made sure our stay was comfortable. The property is located only a few Kilometers from the airport making it easy to come in and go considering the busy traffic in Dar-es-salaam.

Pros: Lokalizacja pesfect. very helpfull staff ( to arrange tickets, give information, maps

Pros: Nice and warm wellcome.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: The place is basic. Dar es salaam is a overwelming city, so big and active and different, that is not posible for me to have an appropiate impretion. People where correct and friendly. Safari Inn fulfill my need of clean and rest to keep traveling. Uber services are a great tool to go around the city!

Cons: Can't tell. It is just a super busy city, hard to digest and the feeling goes just along with Safari Inn; it's rough but efficient!

Pros: Surprizingly great calue for money

Cons: All was great, like an oasis in the concrete jungle

Pros: Close to the airport, fair price , great food , friendly staff

Cons: Bathroom could be improved

Pros: The Staff was so warm especially the lady at the reception. She is good at what she is doing. Very professional and welcoming. Wish I had more cash to tip her unfortunately I didn't have changed money. The Restaurant had good service too.

Cons: WiFi was unavailable. This was a serious problem as I could not communicate with family back home. If this is not taken care of next time I might have problem staying there or recommending to my colleagues.

Pros: The place offers very basic amenities, but one can sleep in a comfortable bed very close to the airport and gets picked up even in the middle of the night. And for that I was grateful after two flights.

Cons: Water in the shower was hardly hot - but refreshing :-)

Pros: It is a secure location, and close to the airport which is what I wanted.

Cons: Shower wouldn’t work, very little water and nothing hot/warm.

Pros: They organize shuttle to the airport, which is convenient (costs 5$ per way).

Cons: It's really a motel, nothing more nothing else

Pros: Delicious Indian cuisine. Butter chicken was marvelous! Hotel is located along a fairly quiet street Friendly staff.

Cons: Furniture and bathroom fixtures need improvement.

Pros: Breakfast was nice

Cons: Wifi was not ok all the time

Pros: The location wasn’t too bad. Breakfast was okay. Good if you are on a budget otherwise spend a little more and get a nicer place. The staff was very friendly.

Cons: Room didn’t look like the one in the pic. Rooms were too small, balconies were connected so some from the other room could just cross over to your balcony.

Pros: Location is good

Cons: Improve the cleanliness of the hotel rooms, payment by credit card must be working, the beddings were very small relative to the size of the bed, they just provided a thin blanket and a very small bedsheet that did not fit the size of the bed.

Pros: Nothing much really

Cons: Location and the price didnt match, internet didnt work in the rooms but only when by reception, too much noise from outside as well

Pros: Breakfast was nice.

Cons: The wifi was out, it took is two hours to get to the hotel from the airport, emails requesting a shuttle from the airport went unanswered, the room had cockroaches, had to carry our bags up four flights of stairs, the neighborhood was incredibly loud. I can't believe I was charges 60 usd to stay in a roach motel down a muddy side street.

Cons: I had made my booking and paid two weeks in advance of staying through Kayak, though when I called the hotel to confirm, my booking was not confirmed at the hotel. The hotel was fully booked and they had given away my reservation. There was no support from the hotel staff to find alternate accommodation. Overall, a very frustrating experience. I had heard similar accounts during my trip to Dar Es Salaam from other travelers booked at The Peacock. The location is also not the best. I would not recommend this hotel.

Pros: Fantastic

Cons: Familliality

Pros: The localistation - close to the bus station.

Cons: We didn't enjoy our stay. We chose this hotel only for its good location as it is near the bus station. There was no air condition in 1 of our rooms, there was no water in the bathroom (it barely dripped from the tap). It was very loud the whole night. The surrounding of the hotel is also not very friendly.

Pros: The view was nice

Cons: No wifi, constant power outages, got sick after eating in the restaurant and the bathroom was filthy...

Pros: View from upper levels is nice

Cons: Staff didn't know how to operate creditcard Terminal, had to ask for electricity in my room..., Air-conditioning leaked all over the floor, staff was arrogant, breakfast in the morning consistet of dry bread, bathroom was run down to put it mildly. Paid 40 dollars for a hotel best worth about 10.

Pros: Not much...

Cons: Hôtel was not like on the pictures. It's just old building close to the noisy bus station. We requested to have a bath like on the pictures, the answer was a yes, once there, we didn't had it. So we asked. They give us an old room but with bath. But.... It was not working!!! Couldn't take a shower! We waited for 1hour as they said they will find a way. When we came downstairs, they were talking together and just say that it couldn't work. So, after we said that we wanted to take a shower (strange isn't it?) They gave us back a room with shower. The option was: "take the room with shower or go somewhere else" at 7:30pm in the dark... Thanks for the option. Staff, and even manager was totally not helpful at all and quite rude. Noisy place because of the bus station, not there fault but still a reason to not go there

Pros: What went well.  This hotel is very close to the Ubungo bus station The property has a fence and a security guard at the gate.  I booked a deluxe room which was very large, with an access to a private little verandah where one can sit and enjoy the outside views - see photos of the views.  The air conditioner worked well and the water was flowing in the bathroom taps.  I ordered food in the restaurant and after a few glitches, the right door was delivered and it was hot and delicious. I waited for my 2000 shs change which didn't arrive but would have tipped anyway as the food was nice. 

Cons: What didn't go so well  The bathroom has a very old and rusty jacuzzi with a very dirty shower handle which gives little confidence about the cleanliness of the facility.  The toilet seat was broken and discoloured. It could do with a few manitainance fixes to the taps and the toilet.  There was only one towel in the bathroom and having booked for two people I wondered what the problem was. Asking for an additional towel at the reception I was reassured that it will be provided but this didn't happen. The one that was available was not dry giving little confidence regarding cleanliness. If you decide to stay here I suggest you bring your own towels.  Breakfast is included in the room price, but this also was very poor for Tz standards. They only had bread slices, maandazi, bananas, water melons and soup. So if you needed any proteins then you only had peas soup which I didn't fancy and I didn't see any guest going for it. There was instant coffee hot water and milk.  Overall  If what you want is a place to lay your head at night and don't care much about cleanliness or having a good breakfast then this place is for you. I think the property would benefit from renovation of the basic facilities and good regular deep cleaning. The jacuzzi could be removed and replaced with a working shower which is easy to clean. For 55 USD per night you should get a better service than this in Dar es Salaam.
