There is an extremely efficient and helpful front desk and lobby staff. The room was clean and otherwise unremarkable. There was good security in the building - you needed a key to get on the floor as well as room. The hallways were very musty. If you are allergic, that may be a problem. There is Thai restaurant with tasty... More

i stayed here for a conference and overall the judgement is positive. Room rather basic but clean and efficient. The hotel itself is quite impersonal and you would not have memories of it, but neither you will have negative ones that not always is a given with hotels. The location is good close to the sea and the ferries.

I stayed at New Africa for 3 weeks between March and April this year for while I was in Dar Es Salaam for business. Overall, I felt the hotel was OK - well presented in most areas (recently rennovated), friendly and professional staff, a decent array of amenities and very well positioned for business purposes. I did not experience or... More

The New Africa Hotel is perfect. Affordable luxury; bang in the middle of city center Dar es Salaam. The hotel’s location was the main reason I opted to stay here on a business visit, however the service and the warmth of the team made me feel at home. All one really needs is a nice clean room with a scrumptious... More

The staff are welcoming, we were able to keep our room later at no extra cost. The views from our 8th floor room over the harbour were stunning/ One drawback, was the church on the harbour side had choir practise until after midnight some nights and then they started again at 6am!! The breakfast was varied, and the 9th floor... More

The location of the hotel is very good and was convenient for my daily trips to Kinondoni Road during the four day stay on the fourth floor (Room # 447). My room was a pool facing one, but I guess the sea facing ones on the higher floors are preferable. The staff was efficient and smilingly helpful always. The room... More

I am quite often in Dar-es-Sallam for busines and have tried various hotels. The New Africa Hotel was one of the hotels recommended to me by a colleague.

We stayed here on two separate occasions, either side of a trip to Zanzibar. We found all of the staff to be very cheerful and helpful. It is a hotel towards the luxury end of the scale, yet the prices aren't unreasonable. The rooms are excellent, the breakfast buffet superb and the pool is pretty good. Excellent location - a...
