Guest Reviews

• Mark (8/5): Very good budget Hotel in a very busy area - I have stayed here before,it's in a very very busy area but is good,clean and affordable accommodation. Food is quite poor and expensive.
• Gerald (10/5): - The service was the best and the rooms where nice as well
• Hakim (10/5): - Good
• aliouane (10/5): - I like
• Andrew (2/5): - All 3 of the rooms we booked had cockroaches in them. They were in a poor state of repair, and were generally unclean. Would strongly recommend avoiding this hotel.
• Christof (8/5): - Gute Lage in Kariakoo.Viele Einkaufsmöglichkeiten in der Nähe.Großes Zimmer.Schöner Balkon.
• James (4/5): - Cold water and not a place for relaxing especially if you are on a long journey ahead.
• Koan S (4/5): - It was so so based on the price.
• Johanna (8/5): - The staff was very friendly, breakfast was good, the room we had was a bit worn off, but the view from the balcony was great. Also the café on the 10th floor is worth a visit. Unfortunately we didn't get to try the food for dinner.
• Jessica (4/5): Faites gaffe ! - Chambre correct MAIS ne vous attendez pas à avoir un temps de calme pour vous reposer car l’hôtel est tres mal placé, en plein centre ville, il y a énormément de bruits beaucoup de circulation, on est venu pour une semaine avec notre bébé de 4mois, nous avons fait qu’un seul jour et on parti car trop bruyant , pas de place pour se garer. Extérieur pas comme sur les photos, pas d’eau chaude bebe n’a pas pu prendre sa douche l’eau était vraiment froide.
• helene (10/5): - Le déjeuner est super! Le prix est abordable aussi! Merci beaucoup!
• Jong Ho (2/5): - ㅎ
• LEI (4/5): - 疫情期间，房东在管理酒店，没有中餐，卫生环境下降
• Polite (6/5): - The toilets smell bad and the cold water in showers
• Deidre (8/5): - located in the middle of the always busy city... my first place to stay in Dar and or Tanzania for that matter.... loved it would not have traded the experience for any other place.
• robert (4/5): Do Not Stay at This Hotel - I would not stay at this hotel ever again. First they forgot to pick us up at the airport in the early morning. The staff were sleeping in the dark when we finally arrived in a taxi. There is no hot water. In three days there was not a drop. The restaurant is closed and so you have to find another in the neighborhood. Breakfast was only ok certainly not what you would expect. The area is so noisy. A loudspeaker from the mosque blares into your room at 4:45 a.m. - you won't sleep.
• Mansoor (4/5): Hongkong hotel Darussalam - Hotel needs to improve. No hot water. Internet on 5th floor was not working. Cleanass need to improve.
• Thato (6/5): - In a very congested part of Dar es salaam town... Was very difficult finding it even with a local. I did not have warm water to shower as they rely on a solar heating system and it had rained that day. I was given a bucket of warm water instead which was a good gesture but they need to work on alternative electricity sources for rainy days.
• Jose Manuel (2/5): Stay away - Shocking. No hot water and a disaster really. We had a cold shower and made our way to the airport. The floor at the airport was better than staying in that dingy place. Stay away.
• Pekka (8/5): Preisleistung Gut - Hotel und Zimmer waren sauber, das Zimmer ist geräumig. Preisleistungsverhältnis unschlagbar. Frühstück war "continental" Frühstück.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Clean and simple, although our bathroom was outside the bedroom!?. Good location
• Jacek (2/5): Stay away! Run and never look back! - First and foremost.. No hot water for your bathroom! Totally unacceptable for any hotel in any part of the world. Explanation of the management: "solar power". The hot water is only available when it can be heated by Sun, In other cases, they are happy to boil the water for you and deliver it to your room in a bucket. Really!?!? No, No! Hot water is not available at all in any case regardless the type of power used to make it hot and boiling the water must be a real significant saving... Sure it is as I don't see any guest going for that service.. Fungus and mold growing on the walls. Immediate heath risk to any guest! Wi-Fi... Boy... I can only hope none of the guest will have more than sending a text email without attachments. Wi-Fi is almost unexciting. Sure, you will get a display of full range bars, but there is no internet signal in the router network. On side restaurant serving Chinese food. One of the most awful I have ever tested. Kitchen smells overpowering the ambient of this hotel. Street noise not allowing for a good night sleep. Stay away! There are other options available. Don't get yourself lured in by the price. This establishment is far below any acceptable standards in any country. It really blows my mind thinking how they possibly can so many good reviews and such good rating (4 out of 5 at the time of the review).
• Olivia (6/5): Okej hotell - Helt okej hotell för en natt eller två. Nästan bara asiatiskt mat. Området hotellet ligger i är någon form av marknadsområde, tycker man konstant om mycket folk är detta området men vi blev ofta varnade om att området kanske inte är det bästa för turister då det fanns mycket ficktjuvar och man blir ganska påhoppad av många som vill att man ska köpa saker av dem. Att bestämt bara gå rakt fram gungar ganska bra som skydd. Personalen var trevlig.
• Edward (10/5): Wonderful Stay @ Hong Kong Hotel - Wonderful stay. I would have loved to have hot showers all the time.
• Jeffrey (8/5): - Stayed here one night while in transit thru Dar. Hotel is about 25 mins from airport with late night traffic, an hour away during rush hour. Room was clean and safe. Nice Chinese breakfast included (hotel caters to Chinese business people). Staff were very nice and helpful. Only complaint is that neighborhood was very noisy and hotel was not at all soundproof.
• luis (10/5): Great value for the money!! - Nice hotel staff super professional and helpful!!! Breakfast was good!
• Elizabeth (10/5): convenient - Very good reception service. conveniently located for market shopping, business and also for connection to both the port and airport.
• Stephanie (8/5): Great hotel - The hotel staff were warm & welcoming, providing excellent service. The hotel is in bustling part of the city, close to the market, which was quite noisy & had a lot of traffic, my only complaints. The room was clean with air conditioning. Most signage was in Chinese, but included English translations. Their was a Chinese restaurant in the hotel with afforable prices. WiFi was free. The perfect stopover before my departing flight. Fyi taxis to the airport from here were about $30 USD.
• K (6/5): Decent for 1 night with early flight - We arrived via the Zanzibar ferry; it was very hot and we had all our luggage. We had arranged with the hotel directly (in advance) to have a driver there for 15,000. We didn’t see anyone or any signs and waited 20 mins with all bags in the sun; we meaaaged the hotel and they said he was on his way, but we already negotiated our own taxi. When we arrived for check in, we were given a room and brought all our luggage up; the room wasn’t cleaned and no sheets on the bed. We went back down to main desk, given another room. Decent and better, higher floor (8) but can still hear all traffic the entire evening. No hot water was available in the hotel as they said they were having an issue with it (they did send a housekeeping staff up to heat up water in a bucket to use in place of a shower). Not ideal. Dinner (fried rice noodle with chicken) was good food, and breakfast was packed up to go for our 4am departure. It was toast, egg roll, spring roll and a boiled egg. Staff did arrange to have a driver take us to the airport early am due to the prior day inconvenience so that was very lovely and they are very helpful. The room we booked was basic and for a layover before early flight, it did the trick. They will provide ear plugs do to the traffic noise and loud noise from the market across the street. In an area not recommended for late night walkabouts.
• Verified traveler (6/5): Für eine Nacht okay - Aufenthalt war okay..Leider ist es auf den Straßen und so auch nachts sehr laut..
• En-Minati (8/5): - Absence de placards de rangement dans la chambre, d'un mini frigo, le téléphone de chambre ne fonctionne pas. Les toilettes placées sous le pallier ne sont pas pratiques
• Verified traveler (8/5): Comfortable and reasonable with good food - The staff at Hong Hotel was wonderful- the restaurant, housekeeping, reception, and the doormen. The food in the restaurant -breakfast and dinner- was good. My only difficulty was that there was no hot water for my week and a half stay.
• Karla (8/5): Nice staff - We only stayed one night in the hotel before our flight back home. The hotel staff is really friendly and proactive, they offered to organize our transport to the airport (with fair prices), give us a wake call and prepare breakfast to go all without request. The room was clean and comfortable. The bathroom was really small but enough for one night stay.
• Verified traveler (6/5): A little disappointed - Looked really nice online but I was a little disappointed by cleanliness. Sheets were clean but there were some 'bits' on them that I needed to brush off (used my own silk sleeping bag liner). Tap in bathroom dirty with soap scum and the housekeepers didn't touch it when they came in daily. Shower cold and right next to the toilet so all floor area got wet and we had to put toilet seat down when showering so it didn't get wet. Staff were very nice, especially in the good restaurant. In a very vibrant area of Dar Es Salaam, have to have your wits about you walking around in this market area of Dar. All in all though, this was an interesting experience.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Ideal if you don't mind the neighborhood - Everything is wonderful except the location. The staff is overly helpful. Wifi worked well. Restaurant is good. Clean. Comfortable.
• ida (8/5): Hotel in the heart of Dar - It was right next to a mosque but this was an added bonus for me as it is Ramadan and I could walk into the mosque to do my prayers at any time i wanted. It was within walking distance of the Kariakoo shopping area that that too was helpful as i was on a shopping trip.
• Ankit (8/5): Nice Hotel for everyone. - Clean and good service. Staff are friendly. Injoyed staying at hotel
• ernesto (6/5): descent - close to ferry to Zanzibar. bad neighborhood and greasy Chinese food breakfast. needs more continental items for breakfast
• Samwel (10/5): Bravo Hong Kong hotel - My stay was good. Staff quite friendly and hotel sparkling clean
• Verified traveler (10/5): - High value for the price
• Kristian (10/5): Fantastic Stay in Dar - Hong Kong Hotel is really great value! We enjoyed our few days stay in Dar and we're glad to have picked this hotel located downtown over options in the pricey Oyster Bay Area. The location wasn't the perfect base for exploring the city. It's across from a bustling market that is so much fun and literally across from a well guarded Bank. The 10th floor cafe offered great views and the food that we had was decent. The bed was really comfortable and so were the linens. It's overall a clean place, which was nice. We booked the budget room and the bathroom outside the room was just fine only steps away. My only area for improvement would be that the washroom, although detached, is still private- however, I didn't really care to leave our toiletries in there since the bathroom does not have a keycard or outside not lock meaning it was only secure if you were inside it. Not a problem if you have a carrying case which is likely if you've come by plane. We overall enjoyed the stay and may come back on our way back from Zanzibar if we get the opportunity.
• Dc (6/5): Improvements - it was fairly decent.
• SHENGYAN (4/5): - 这种酒店怎么能是3.5星，也就一小旅馆，冲名字去的，不值得
• Oli (6/5): Good staff / hotel but awful noise from the street - This is a OK hotel if you don't spend too many night in there No noise isolation from the street which make it uncomfortable Good Staff, very good service
• Kaevereke (10/5): - it is was amazing and delighted
• テンボ (8/5): 繁華街近くのそこそこ快適なホテル - ホテルは外見を見るとちょっと心配になるけれど、客室は清潔で、エアコンもテレビもあるし、快適。朝食は中華料理がメインで、麺、米、中華まんなど食べられます。マイナスなのは、朝6時前から夜遅くまで、うるさいこと。私はバスルームが部屋の外の一番安い部屋に泊まったけれど、特に不便も感じませんでした。にぎやかな場所に泊まりたい人にはお勧めです。スタッフはフレンドリーで仕事もちゃんとしてる。
• nejla (10/5): Över förväntan ren och central - Fantastisk service mycket hjälpsam personal på alla sätt.
• Suzanne (8/5): Convenient, well priced, clean hotel - As it says, modern, clean and cosy with good Chinese good, close to the airport
• Myren (8/5): Big and clean hotel - The hotel is easy to find the staff is very helpful nice breakfast clean room and very safe
• Marguerite (8/5): I would stay here again - hotel was very nice. staff were extremely welcoming, helpful and friendly. the food is very tasty, but a bit expensive. and they only serve Chinese food, as it is owned and operated by people from China. the only drawback is the neighborhood. this is the old, market area of town so there are hundreds of very loud vendors outside your window from early morning until well after dark. and there are lots and lots of pickpocketers, which can make it intimidating to venture out alone
