This hotel provided a welcome oasis in a dusty town. The room was huge, great bed and linen, immaculate bathroom. Floor to ceiling windows give you a great view of the harbor and dark curtains make it easy to catch up on sleep. The restaurant was nice, and the rooftop pool was lovely. The staff are friendly and attentive. Downstairs... More

I was fortunate enough to get rooms in this otherwise overbooked hotel . When I reached hotel I was least impressed since its situated on busy and crowded Samora avenue and the entrance looks more of business centre than typical hotel. But moment we reached our rooms I knew I had made a right choice. Rooms are clean, spacious (... More

Harbor view hotel and suites  Located right near the Harbour, the hotel suite is a large tower overlooking the Dar Harbour. It's a funny setup with the reception on the 9th floor. I spent 5 nights in a room on the 12th floor. The hotel has two sets of lifts one at the front used to get to the room... More

You can see my old review from May 4, 2011. Since that writing the hotel has not only changed hands, but changed vision. The little things that make a hotel personal are missing. The suites are to have a couple glasses, flatware and such should you have room service. Better check before ordering food. Glasses take longer than pizza to... More

It costs 119 USD all inclusive in one of their smallest units, the studio room, in january. We rush through this hotel, between our ferry coming from Zanzibar in early afternoon and our late night flight back home. Sorry to be very short this time, we really only spend a few hours here and find that this place does the... More

Harbour view suites are a welcome oasis in the chaos of this large city. Clean and spacious rooms. Staff are very welcoming and always remember you from previous visits. The Boddles restaurant serves a nice meal and has a good outlook. Not loads of character but somehow I always return here.

Used the Harbor View Suites as a dayroom for a few hours before heading to the airport for my journey home. Reception is up on the 11th floor. Very courteous. Very modern. The room/suite was spacious with a kitchenette with a mini fridge, small stove, microwave and small table. The living room had a sofa, large desk, and flat screen... More

After backpacking through Africa for 3 weeks, staying in $5 a night hostels, taking an extremely jarring and choppy 6 hour bus ride from Kenya to Tanzania, and missing our ferry to Zanzibar, we decided to treat ourselves to a nice evening at The Harbour View Suites. We walked around Dar Es Salaam with heavy backpacks looking for a decent... More

I travel to Dar at least twice a year and always stay at harbour view suites. Since they have added the roof top pool, and Boodles restaurant its even more convenient. Plus since Ive now developed a relationship with them I get really good deals on my hotel rates. Great service, good food and very conveniently located.
