Happy Hotel

Really lovely and helpful cheerful staff who were very happy to help with anything. Never seen such happy people. Nice hotel and has everything that you need - the breakfast leaves a little to be desired, but typical and normal African fare, so not an issue. Close to beach which is within minutes walk.

This hotel was terrible, I wonder why it has good reviews at all. The bedding was dirty, the ac did not work properly and rooms were not smelling pleasantly, we literally had to check in to another hotel across seascape because we were not going to sleep there. Book for this hotel at your own risk.

NOT RECOMMENDED

I recently went to dar es salaam and stayed at the Seascape Hotel. Was very disappointed. It should
NOT be 5* rated. It's not even 4*. They don't have a gym, Rooftop should have a sea view restaurant which they don't have. Our rooms electrical was faulty, everytime we switched the tv on the rooms electric would go off. Breakfast was appalling. Nothing like a 5* hotel should be. Some staff members were okay. Some rather laid back than keen to help.
I certainly would not go there.
I would not recommend any one to go there until they have improved on their standards.

Nice hotel

We were attending a wedding in the hotel across the road so this was a perfect choice. Rooms are spacious, comfortable bed, wardrobe with electronic safe, modern bathroom, all very clean, water flow very poor though.We had a room on 4th floor with a balcony and sea view. Breakfast was as it is standard in 3&4 star hotels in Tanzania- choice of 2 juices, 2/3 cereals, sliced bread, local doughnuts, 2/3 cooked warm items like sausages and beans, potato bhajias and one more, tea/coffee. This hotel is not by the sea, you have to pay to any hotel across the road to enjoy the beach. far from airport and city centre.

Nice hotel

Clean, friendly. Not on the beach. Gym was under renovation. Breakfast was good: potatoes, beans, tomatoes, sausages and meat(chicken or liver). Also fruits and yoghurt. Negative things was that we asked about the price of late check out and they told us three times that the price is 50 000 tzh. When we were leaving they said that price was mistake, but we did't wanted to pay the amount which they were saying(paid finally 65 000 tzh). Our last night in the hotel, security came with customer accidentally in our room in the middle of the night. I got really scared, because when they saw me, they just left without saying anything. We called to reception and they told us what happened.

Great Hotel with a great price!

The Seascape hotel is a great affordable option while staying in Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania. It is located directly across from an amazing beach and has great views depending on the room. The staff were very friendly and helpful. They provided world class service from the moment that I stepped into the door. The decor of the hotel is very nice and I hope they keep the place in good condition. Breakfast was provided daily and was good quality, they had a nice variety of food. The only drawback to this hotel is may be the location. The location makes it a nice quite place to go to get away from busy and loud city atmosphere, however you may have difficulties if you are trying to use any type of public transportation (taxi or bajaji) at night. Some forms of transportation are hard to find late night. Also the hotel does not have direct access to the beach but it is an easy short walk across the street to White sands resort. The hotel has a very nice pool area. Overall this is a great hotel in a safe area.

Very inconvenient. Wonderful staff.

I chose this hotel for its location, I thought on the beach. It was instead several blocks from the beach and considered unsafe to walk as a woman alone. I chose this hotel for its fitness room which was \"under construction\". The SAT tv was unavailable and the wifi unable to connect. There was a business center. The room was roomy, clean with comfortable bed, exc air conditioning. Staff all lovely and apologetic. Helpful and really trying to address the issues. I only saw 2 or three other guests. But the biggest problem was the rmote location from downtown and the airport leading to a $60 ride from the ferry to the hotel and another $60 from the hote lto the airport. That made this inexpensive beach hotel an isolated, expensive stay.

Good new hotel; maintenance may be slipping though

Seascape is great. It is fairly new. Provides a beautiful view to the ocean from the 5th floor. Has decent breakfast. Good daily room cleaning. Good laundry service. Among other good things.

However, the wifi internet may have poor signal in the rooms. Internet speed is a bit slow. It does however have a business centre with free PCs to access internet & print docs.

I found that the gym is somewhat neglected. The key to the door was lost so the work around was to access the gym through the window - good stretching exercise! However, little effort was made to remedy this problem

Miserable experience. Would never go back.

So many problems, where to begin?

They put us in the wrong (cheaper) room than what we paid for. When they offered to change it two days later, they showed us a \"seaview\" room ... except the view was of a DIRT FIELD. That evening the manager called to say they had showed us the wrong room, but at that point, it just wasn't worth it to switch as we were leaving the next day.

The safe didn't work and it took them two days before they fixed it.

The hotel set us up with the world's worst driver/guide. He charged us double what it should have cost for a safari, knew nothing about the surrounding area, and tried to only take us to places that were very obviously built JUST for tourists.

We left early on the day of the safari and the hotel promised to prepare a breakfast. On the day of, they had completely forgotten. We ended up with one egg each, and three slices of plain white bread wrapped in foil.

To make up for it, they offered us a free dinner. Except it took the chef OVER two hours to prepare three basic meals. By the time our food arrived, we weren't even hungry.

There is no beach access and their advice is to LIE to the hotel across the road to obtain it. The receptionist told us to say that we were going to \"use the spa\" or something like that ... and then just go to the beach.

I would absolutely not go here again.

Okay Hotel, could be more

Stayed at Seascape for 4 days, the hotel is in a nice location opposite to a hotel that is on the beach, you need to cross through one of the other hotels to get to the beach where you can be charged an entry fee but I was not charged, you did feel a little uncomfortable though as you walked pass the guards. The hotel is new and modern, the rooms are big and kept clean BUT, the staff are not very helpful and operate with very little energy and verve, they will help you but only after a while. Connections to anywhere is difficult and do not accept help from the front desk as the staff call their friends who will chagre you extra and do not give you change. The resturant food was not very good and it took ages for meals to arrive, your wait time will be around 20-30 minutes for food. On the plus the wifi is okay and works, the ac also works well. In all not a bad hotel but it could be so much more if it was better staffed.

Nice Hotel close to the Beach

This hotel is a good cheap alternative to staying at White sands. It is accross the street from White Sands, and you can enter the beach at White Sands for 3 dollars. The rooms are fine, so I would stay here again to save money and then just cross the street to White Sands to use their beach.

Nice rooms but far from the city

Rooms were very comfortable and well appointed, but the hotel is a block away from the sea. Don't let the name fool you - there are no sea views or decent views of any kind. Food was mediocre and the hotel lacks character and charm. It is also very far from the city so the commute will cost you time and money if you are intending to go nearer to the city.

Tutto bene, peccato non era quello che mi serviva!

Cercavo un hotel vicino all'aereoporto internazionale di Dar El Salam in Tanzania per una sola notte prima di ritornare in Italia; avevo letto sul sito che distava solo 4 km, invece occorrono circa due ore di macchina per arrivarci! Hotel bellissimo, vicino al mare che sembrava anch'esso bello; ma non era quello che mi serviva! Ritornata in Italia ho riguardato la distanza, sembra essere stata aggiornata, 20 km; ma il tempo per arrivarci, con il traffico di Dar, è 2 ore.
