Hotels near Pugu Hills Nature Centre

"This is a brand new hotel which only opened 2 months ago. It is very clean, the rooms are spacious with good air conditioning, good showers and generally high quality fixings. The best thing about the hotel is that it lies west of Dar es Salaam, which means that you avoid the worst of the city traffic. It is only about 25 minutes from the airport so it makes a highly convenient stop-over for people transiting through. When we were there some other guests had been put up there by one of the airlines, and I can see this becoming a favourite for airline companies. The hotel is also within walking distance of the Pugu Forest Reserve which offers hiking, canoeing and has a bat cave. The owner was fabulous and went out of her way to help us with whatever we needed. The kitchen is a bit slow, but the owner is aware of it and I'm sure will remedy this over time. I will certainly be using this as my go-to hotel in Dar es Salaam from now on. "

"We were recently on a vacation to Tanzania. We were staying at the Holiday Inn on Azikiwe Street Dar Es Salaam when the elections were held. During the this period, there was a total internet black-out, significant uncertainty and a lot of confusion. With so many people in the hotel, there was potential for emotions to boil over, but the team at the Holiday Inn did a tremendous job communicating, ensuring that we were comfortable and in calming everyone. It could not have been easy for them as there was a curfew and were not able to go home to their families. When we were able to rebook flights, they also provided us access to the hotel shuttle which helped us get to the airport safely. We are truly grateful to the entire staff (manager, receptionist, kitchen and restaurant staff) who put our needs at the forefront of their minds. If I were to go back to Dar Es Salaam, I would ABSOLUTELY stay there again."

"Friendly staff; clean, comfortable rooms"

"Had a wonderful stay at the four points Dar es Salaam, location was great for getting around the city, getting the ferry etc, the harbour room views were stunning, could not fault the staff from porters to check in, restaurant staff etc, nothing was too much to ask. I will stay here again if I come back and can recommend it for a city hotel "

"Clean rooms, reliable Wi-Fi, good breakfast and easy access to transportation. I recommend using Bolt Apps if you don't have your own transportation to move around the city. "

"I love the quiet and the convenience of the stay here. It is a 5 minute drive to the airport (traffic allowing, of course), and it is really close to the Simba grocery store. The breakfast buffet and omelettes cooked to order are a highlight of each morning!"
