After a brief 2 night stay in the Southern Sun Dar es Salaam, I would definitely recommend the hotel as great place to stay if you in Dar Es Salaam for business.
On my request the hotel arranged for me to be collected from the airport by taxi quite late in the evening. Check in was quick and easy, and I was most impressed that there were no additional questions or queries about my booking and prepayment through Hotel.com.
The room and bathroom were well maintained, neat and clean.
WiFi and TV channels worked well.
Hot water to shower was not a problem.
The resturant and food was of a high standard, as was the breakfast serviced in the morning.
The hotel is well positioned and relatively close to most business areas including the CBD, however traffic is heavy during peak hours and needs to be considered when setting meeting times.
Overall good experience, will definitely stay in this hotel on my next business trip.
