Transit Airport Bed & Breakfast

Staff is super friendly and informative. After my long journey they were calm, kind and patient

I arrived 9:00 pm flight with early departure next day. This is a basic motel, quick to get to. Economical. Staff accommodating and friendly.

Definitely not a 3 star hotel - maybe 1/2 star or no star. Driving to the hotel there were potholes big enough to swallow the vehicle. It was behind a 12’ fence and really scary. The room was adequate and appeared clean. The bathroom was kinda of disgusting - one small sink with a cold water tap and NO water in the shower. The staff at the front desk was polite and we paid approx, $5 to get to the airport.

When we arrived at the hotel the reception girl was not expecting us. She stated that we had already checked in. When we pointed out that we hadn’t she told us to wait for 20 minutes while she cleaned a room. When she showed us to the room it only had one bed. I had booked and paid for a twin room. She stated that this was the only room available as she had given my room away. When I asked for a refund she looked at me blankly and said send an email!

Hotel reception staff allowed me to check in early and they were very kind and hospitable. I booked the hotel shuttle to take me to the airport and we left at the appointed time and the price was quite reasonable (half the price taxis charge). Compared to my previous stay at Transit Hotel, the internet access was not so great. There was less noise pollution during this visit compared to my previous stay from the neighbouring area, it could have been because it was Sunday rather than a week day.

Transit Hotel is very close to Dar airport and a convenient place to stay if you have time between flights - traffic to downtown Dar can be counter productive to booking a hotel further away from the airport. Transit Hotel is not located in a quiet area, it is close to train tracks and there is a lot of other noise in the area if you are a light sleeper or are looking for peace and quiet. Staff are friendly and accommodating.

Not sure what other DAS airport hotels are like but hard to imagine any of them being worse being worse. Two single beds for three people. Shower was a cold trickle. Noisy. Fortunately we had a 5 am flight and was able to limit our experience.

Shower not working. tv not working, breakfast a joke, road to hotel terrible. afraid leaving hotel. will never recommend to anybody.

I stayed 1 night as I was making my way from Uganda to Zanzibar. It's okay for a 1 night stay. Be advised that the Internet wasn't working, so I'm not sure if it was false advertising or if it was down for the day. The hotel itself is decent, but it's not super. Bottled water was guaranteed, but I needed to ask for it. There was no TV remote despite having asked for one, so basically the TV was not operational as there was no sound, and it was stuck on one station. The local area is 100% dodgy. I didn't feel safe leaving the hotel's property. On the positive side, it's very near the airport and only takes 5 or 10 minutes to get there.

We had to stay close to the airport because our flight was scheduled to leave at 4AM. The beds are terrible, the pillow was like a rock, the air conditioner did not work and there was a club outside the window that blasted music all night. And don’t even think about going outside of their gates. At least the food in the restaurant was decent.
