- thyssia (3/5): Pas comfortable comme séjour. - Le basique des petits déjeuners était servi sans plus. :( La première chambre était pleine de cafards, odeur de moisissures. La douche n’a pas pu être utilisée … La deuxième chambre était passable mais pas fraîche !

- ABDELRAHMAN (10/5): - A nice place for this value. Near to airport and to the port too.
- Jelena (8/5): - Roof terrace where we had breakfast Good AC sometimes it was even cold but nice Smell for refreshment or mosquitoes The light in the bathroom was like in the disco on off on off Something is buing built or repaired in hotel so on our balcony were these stairs for workers
- lyne (8/5): Worth my money and convenience- easy access to alot of street food places. So if you are in Dar for quick business and y - Value for money, especially as a business traveller The breakfast could have been better

- Lazar (10/5): Great price, great hotel - Rooms are clean, stuff is very good, location near ferry port.
- Kunal (8/5): - Good location, value for money and well equipped. Pathetic staff at the breakfast location. Didn't seem to care and would only cater to Western looking tourists. I didn't get to eat anything as they would rather sit inside than help.

- Subira (6/5): Suitable for 1 to 2 nights stay before flying out. - We stayed for one night with our children as we were due to fly out the following day. This hotel is ideal for exactly that, a night or two stay before moving on. The rooms were clean and the water was hot. The location was ideal if you want to explore Dar es Salaam and it wasn't too busy outside of the hotel. What is really good with this lodge is that if the room is ready when you arrive they allow you to check in early. Generally you get what you pay for with this lodge and it is a 30 minute taxi drive to the airport. The fans in the two rooms that we had needed some maintenance, when you put them on they look like they are about to fly off. The breakfast was absolutely terrible, the juice looked like it had been there for days, the toaster was broke which meant no toast and the watermelon tasted and looked like it had been there for hours. Unfortunatly we were unable to get breakfast locally. Finally upon arrival we found that there was no power coming from the mains but the lights worked. We thought there was a power-cut and as a result the generator was being used. We believed this was not actually true. If there is a power cut then you would get no electric at all and the generator would not only supply power to the lights. We strongly believe that in-order to save money the generator is used during the day to power lights with everything else being switched off at the fuse-board. The business nearby appeared to have a supply of electric without a generator being used. Something to be aware of. 100% power was provided before nightfall.

- GeunHyeong (8/5): 이돈이면 갼츈 - 살람에서 이정도 가격이면 적당한듯. 뜨거운물이 잘나와서 좋았다. 위치도 좋고, 와이파에도 갠츈 건물외관... 첨에 보고 식겁함... 그리고 쥐가 있는지 천장에서 밤새도록 부스럭 거린다 ㅜ
- Vivian (7/5): Econo lodge - Convenient location right at the city center. Their lift was too small can barely accommodate 2 people with large bags

- Lee (9/5): Superb -
- Abbas (7/5): Good hotel - Rooms are nice and clean The rooms need to be equipped with refrigerators

- Dishan (10/5): Good - Clean hotel Room fans too low. Dangerous to raise hand. Bathroom ameties to improve. Only soap available
- Sophie (10/5): Exceptional - Very friendly staff, very comfortable king-size bed, breakfast on rooftop, excellent location (safe), 1 minute walk from restaurant offering a wide range of delicious food (you can see and pick what you want to eat).

- Banerjee (6/5): Pleasant - There should be lunch & dinner arrangement.on chargeable basis. So all tourists can get food easily. Never go outsidel to take food.
- Jürg (10/5): Great inner city overnighter with great facilities and a good night's sleep. - I had forgotten that breakfast was offered and that was great. Up on the roof terrace with a view of the inner city. The one house crow stole a baked item from my table, but that was a) my fault and b) very entertaining. Google map struggled to get us to the entrance of the Econo Lodge. Maybe Econo Lodge could contact them.
- Priscah (10/5): Exceptional - We liked how welcoming the service providers are, very friendly and helpful. The reception was so good looking. The breakfast. It's so limiting. No sausages, no cereals.. There's no varieties for breakfast but I think they can do better.
