This is the best place to stay in Dar if you are traveling alone as a solo female traveler.The place is convenient and clean.Near the airport and the Zanzibar ferry terminal.They are very intentional on security I felt so safe sleeping at this place as a young woman traveling alone.They also safely kept my bags when I went to Zanzibar until I came back.The staff are very polite and helpful.The place is really quite and yet it is in the middle of town .It gives you the ultimate rest environment.I wish they served breakfast however there are so many restaurants near by so you can easily find things to eat.This will definitely be my go to place when I am in Dar.Highly recommend

The staff and location of the property were great! It is located right in the heart of the city with plenty of restaurants, shops, malls and the ferry nearby. I will also add that they had good cable with good mixture of stations and options for viewing.

The hotel was a bit dated, and it could have been cleaned much better, there were things that I noticed that were overlooked by the cleaning staff. Also, one huge disappointment is they do not have a restaurant on sight, you are provided with takeout menus from nearby restaurants for delivery, a huge inconvenience.

Ok, nothing special, some maintenance issues

I stayed here three different times during my stay in Tanzania. Transfer service to and from airport was good, breakfast and wifi good. Good range of tv channels. Good luggage storage space. Reasonable price, especially for Dar. Easily walkable to Zanzibar ferry terminal, even with luggage. Rooms are functional, it was nice having a kettle, toaster and microwave, but quite stark don't have a feeling of comfort. ATMs and supermarkets close by. Felt safe and there is security at the door. Bathroom facilities good, but bathrooms rely on mechanical ventilation which only works when the light is switched on, so sometimes smell musty and the tile grout is blacker than it should be. Air conditioning in the rooms is very loud and also smells musty, and in one room water started raining out of the unit in the middle of the night. Other little things like the safe batteries being flat when I first got to room and toilet flush not automatically turning off suggest some maintenance issues. Hotel is incredibly overstaffed, two porters will be sent to do a job one could do, presumably so everyone gets a tip. Suggest also asking for a room that doesn't face the adjacent Mosque if you prefer not to be woken early (windows are not double glazed and the call is very loud). Room service consists of ordering from nearby restaurants and getting it delivered to your room.

Otherwise, quite good comfort wise. Some odd features (breakfast room waterfall), but trying to be an above average place.. Good street food in vicinity and near to port and Kilimanjaro line bus office.

Disappointing

I chose tanzanite because of the good reputation and service . The room was excellent and facilities were great however some of the staff attitudes was appalling in particular a mr Gopi. It felt guests were untrusted. I had booked additional facilities ie transfer etc and this was confirmed by email I could settle on departure. I was constantly bombarded with calls. On one occasion my sister was unwell so I went to the restaurant and asked if I could a small piece of cake and juice for her to the room. A number of people had to be consulted. For what I don’t understand. For goodness sake my breakfast was paid for. So what was the big deal about. Guests should be made to feel welcome and trusted. No wonder occupancy has reduced greatly over the last few months.

Excellent hotel in the heart of Dar es Salaam

I recently stayed at Tanzinite for 10 days as a business traveller.
Pros: Excellent and Responsive Front Desk, Helpful and Efficient Manager (Mr. Gopakumar), efficient housekeeping team, Courteous & helpful security staff, clean rooms having all amenities; Food joints on the parallel Jamhuri street, especially Indian food. Also found a Kerala food joint called Green Chilly serving authentic and superb food on the same street. All other places are all nearby. Taxis outside the hotels have friendly drivers, but bargain heavily and they reduce prices drastically.

Cons: Only breakfast is served in the restaurant and everyday its almost the same. Not much of variation. For some, the loud prayer call from a nearby mosque can be a problem. It wasn't for me since it helped my prayer life!!

Value for money in good central location

Family of 4 stayed there twice. Professional and courtesy services. Issues were immediately tended to and 24/7 reception services. The breakfast was basic with not a lot of meat options. Located very close to busstation and the ferry to Zanzibar (walking distance). Still in an 'up-and-coming' neighbourhood and although we at no point felt unsafe. Don't expect a room with a view but you'll get excellent Wifi and TV viewing options.
