Harbour View Suites

I have been staying at the Harbour View Suites for many years, when I need to travel to Dar es Salaam. The staff is always incredibly gracious and helpful. Dar is a big and very busy city - and could feel a bit unsafe as a foreigner. However, this hotel occupies the 9th, 10th and 11th floors of a large building with ocean views. SO once you are inside, you will feel perfectly safe. It also hosts a lovely pool and gym for some moments of relaxation. Even if you don't score an ocean view suite - having breakfast in their restaurant will allow you a lovely ocean view to accompany the awesome breakfast buffet. I just hosted a dinner for 8 at the restaurant, and everyone enjoyed an excellent meal. I have only high praise for this hidden gem in the middle of a busy port city.

The hotel staff at the front desk are rude and lack customer service skills. If you leave anything behind at this hotel and call to ask about it, you're wasting your time because you will not get a phone call back. I use to like this hotel as I have stayed here many of times. I would recommend going elsewhere if you don't want to deal with attitudes from staff

Clean comfortable unit.

Exceptional service by the staff and Raju was just superb. He attended to our service request very promptly.

Checking in was seamless. Exceptional service and the staff were super friendly and accommodating. Raju attended right away to assist with the safe in my son's unit. Very personable and willing to go above and beyond. We stayed at this hotel 20 years ago and glad we chose to stay again. Great location with a beautiful view. Room was spacious and so was the bathroom. Highly recommend this hotel.

Had a great stay

As a frequent traveler with extensive experience across hotels in Dar es Salaam, I recently stayed at Harbour View Suites following a last-minute flight cancellation. My visit lasted only one night, which may limit the scope of my assessment, but certain impressions were clear. I had booked through Hotels.com and upon arrival was told the hotel was fully booked. For a moment, I was almost relieved, as the reception area was rather uninspiring and lacked the appeal one would expect from a hotel in this category. Eventually, I was given a room, possibly because payment had already been processed, but the experience did not set a reassuring tone. Once upstairs, the atmosphere changed slightly. The corridors and room areas were noticeably better maintained, and the room itself was clean and functional. For a one-night stay, it was adequate. However, it is not the kind of hotel that invites a return. While the basics were covered, there was nothing particularly compelling in terms of comfort, service, or overall ambience. In a city like Dar es Salaam, where I have stayed in numerous hotels, Harbour View Suites would not rank among my preferred options. I would place it around 6 to 7 out of 10. It serves its purpose in a pinch but falls short of delivering a memorable or satisfying experience.

It’s great property but the wash room too small and the breakfast some food was dry ( Idly) and chutney too spicy ( they have not neutralized it)

Good hotel in the middle of Dar es Salaam. We walked to a city tour which was very fascinating. Hotel provided timely airport transfer for a fee, room were nice and service was outstanding. Nice harbor view from breakfast.

Food is not up to the mark

Staff was very nice, helpful and accomodating. Room was a good size and clean.

I have been coming to this hotel every year. I have always had a good experience. Location is the best. Breakfast is good but it can be improved. Both the receptionist are good , responsive and excellent service.

El hotel es muy bueno y el personal muy amable ... .. todo lo demás está muy bien
