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.

It was a comfortable and relaxing stay at the hotel. Almost everythig was good. Mosquito repellant smell in the hallway was not excellent, but other than that, I was so satisfied. Breakfast was also the best considering its cost.
