A pleasant surprise for a budget hotel. Need to remember this is budget hotel - it is the best in area. Good central location within easy walking distance to ferries & points of interest in central Dar es Salaam. Situated on a somewhat busy street, yet noise was at tolerable levels throughout day and evening. Nighttime was relatively quiet (central... More

I loved this place. Every time I came back to Dar I stayed here. The place was always clean and always safe. Simple and cheap. Great place to meet other travelers as it has a killer Indian food restaurant where I payed a little more for great food. But if you just hand out and have a tea you will... More

Jambo Inn is a budget accommodation I recently spent 3 separate occasions at Jambo Inn. It is cheap and we had no trouble with security. Having the restaurant on site is also a bonus if you don't want to venture out into the town (although bear in mind that there are some days it is closed due to a religious... More

No power for the first six hours we were there. Shower was a laughable dribble. Sink taps didn't work at all. Fan on ceiling was dangerously loose. Noisy neighborhood. Mosquito nets had holes in them. There was an AC unit but it was louder than being on the front row of a Death Metal concert.

For what it offers it's much to expensive. The charged 36$ USD which is around 73.000 TSH for a triple room with AC. You get: - A little room with a disgusting and too small bathroom - Not eatable breakfast - NO hot water (Even the promised) - AC which is not working properly + to loud Econo Lodge is... More

It was my second stay in Dar Es Salaam and decided to stay at the Jambo. Yes it's cheap and yes the restaurant is ok (although not very comfy and not really sufficient portions) but the rooms are a joke. First we had a room (with noisy airconditioning) on the street side where there are a lot of carshops/garages. Apparently... More

We didn't expect much from Jambo, being a budget place. We got an air-conditioned room with a mosquito net, the bed was fine and the food tasty. It's in a good location which all the taxi drivers know. Our room was pretty quiet as well. No complaints.

We stayed in this hotel for 2 days. It is situated in the centre and close to the ferry to Zanzibar. Every room is air-conditioned but air-cons are very loud. Rooms are decent and rather clean. You can buy access to Wi-Fi internet for 5000Tsh a day. They have a good restaurant downstairs with 15-page long menu and it takes... More
