New Dodoma Hotel

This is definitely one of the nicest hotels in Dodoma and I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a place to stay. There's room service and the hotel has good access to the aiport. That said, I didn't have hot water in my shower for the week I was there, and the internet is patchy. Solve these two things and it would be a perfect business hotel in dodoma.

We were told we could cancel, but then were not able to. Would not use expedia again for hotel reservations. Nothing wrong with the hotel.

The New Dodoma Hotel is probably the best option for a stay in Dodoma, if you wish to be reasonably close to most things--that is, to the market, the airport, and bus station. There is a good restaurant that includes a wide range of breakfast, lunch and dinner, and there could be a nice pool if it is cleaned and running. The staff is very friendly and helpful.

Spent 3 days at this hotel. Our experience was not great, Meals in the courtyard were pleasant with the friendly, helpful serving staff. Reception however, was very unfriendly and upon our departure assessed a Tanzania Development Levy of Tsh 3300 pp per day, which no other hotel in Tanzania charged. On arrival, we were given a very small room where the 1st night the AC broke and leaked over my clothes. No apology from hotel, but I was given a bigger room, which I should have had in the first place. Being across the street from the train station, we were also disturbed by the occasional train horns during the night. The hotel allows touts into the courtyard, who pester guests to buy their wares. There were stray cats allowed to roam freely through the property. The upkeep of the facility needs immediate attention, apart from run down hotel, the pond area was dirty and the gardens overgrown! Overall the hotel has good potential and could be significantly improved with a (major) renovation. The lobby is dark and dismal with very dated furnishings. The three restaurants are dark but do serve tasty food. The courtyard needs to be spruced up - shrubs pruned, (smaller) pool cleaned, the bar repaired and reopened. The floorboards around the second floor walkways to get to the rooms are in need of repair and should be re-stained.

Using the toilet in the night was a matter of fighting off the mosquitoes. The toilet would not flush, and there was no hot water. A real let down, because we stayed there once before and it was much, much better than that. The "Airport Shuttle" was four times the price of a taxi, so we used a taxi. The swimming pool was closed - because it was being cleaned. But the Chinese restaurant was excellent

Quite decent for Dodoma. The hotel grounds are nicely kept and green, room was a tad run down. Probably a bit too expensive, but options in town are limited.

Unfortunately, this is the only hotel listed online and is relatively close (walkable) to the town center. Customer service is a joke. If you're a tourist, they'll try to rip you off via extra charges or not giving proper change. Only 2 of the outlets worked in the room. The pools were beyond disgusting as they hadn't been cleaned in sometime and were full of mosquitoes. The Chinese restaurant is the best thing this hotel has going for it. Breakfast was terrible (looked like leftovers) and had roaches crawling on the tablecloths where the food was. And breakfast is free. The beef samosas are good. And wi-fi repeatedly signs you out and only last for one day (sometimes not even that), regardless of what the receipt says. If I can help it, I plan to avoid this hotel like the plague.

The New Dodoma appears to need new management. Service is poor; and bills are frequently inaccurate and very difficult to correct. Security is poor and there were several room burglaries during my recent multi-week stay. The front of the hotel is guarded, but the back of the hotel is not. Complaints to the reception staff and the general manager were met with a "not my problem" attitude.

Breakfast was not good, service was awful. Comfortable bed. Shower is good but floods bathroom every time

This hotel is actually quite nice. It has a nice courtyard with bars and restaurants. Has a pool, a gym and an internet station. The rooms are fine and clean. Only issue I faced had to do with food. It was quite good, but it would take them ages for them to serve it! Breakfast is quite rich though. A very nice hotel overall.
