Southern Sun Dar es Salaam

Hotel

Had a great steak sandwich. I recommend it highly.

Great accommodation in Dar. Good food and well appointed rooms.

Comfy beds, great service and impeccable space.

A very hospitable hotel. A staff pro and available. A small green park with a beautiful swimming pool. A fine dining restaurant and full of flavor to discover.

Second visit and even more satisfied than before. On braai night, the team even made me a braai broodjie. Can't wait to come back the very friendly and always helpful staff. Feeling very at home.

Friendly and helpful staff. The rooms are are cosy.

After 15 years living and travelling through Dar es Salaam, Southern Sun has obviously been through many changes. However, what has not changed is the level of service and authenticity of the staff. Not the biggest hotel in Dar but defined the best.

Such a friendly welcome at arrival. Great hotel! Would most definitely recommend.

Great place to be. Great staff. Great food and beautiful and clean room!

Good day This was the best stay I had, home away from home. I appreciate the good service a special thanks to Leah she's been cleaning my room while I was staying there keep up the excellent work you are the best, God bless you hope your good work is appreciated… management it's people like Leah that makes one want to come. Back…

Staff is very friendly, rooms are comfortable and clean. Food at the restaurant is very good, so is the service. Breakfast buffet is the best I had in a long time, with a huge variety of hot choices, fruit, bread & pastry and muffins.

The best hotel in DAR
I’ve asked for the extra Blanket when it was delivered to my room it was Warmed thank you Dizid from House keeping you totally exceeded my expectations.

Very comfortable room, efficient and helpful reception and excellent breakfast and dinner Room did not have a very good view but hotel is very central for exploring the city. Staff very helpful and the hotel has a pool and gym.

Southern Sun Hotel is one of the finest hotels located in the Central Business District of the Commercial Capital of Tanzania — Dar es Salaam. Accommodation at the hotel is excellent with rooms of various niches including suites. The Southern Sun Hotel has two restaurants and likewise has a bar and 24 hours room service. Residents have access to free wireless 4G internet, swimming pool, gym and other amenities. The staff are friendly and the facility is hygiene clean. It is not massive in size — a feature that adds on to it being attractive, and is a convenient joint for a meal and or drink and definitely is the place to stay in Downtown Dar es Salaam.

Typical CBD hotel, good for quick meetings, lunch meetings and passing time waiting for traffic to clear.

This hotel is one of my favourates in Tanzania. As with all Southern Sun hotels, the restaurant is excellent with a wide veriaty of local dishes as well as other meals for the not so adventurous. Breakfast is continental as well as english buffet. The sheff on duty will prepare your eggs they way you like it and a spanish omlet to die for. The rooms is very comfortable, from the standars rooms to executive rooms and the suites. I have stayed in all these rooms and was never disappointed. The staff is very friendly with your typical Tanzanian hospitality. They have a business centre for the business traveler who needs to print a last minute document or other secreterial tasks. If you need to book onward flights or accommodation elsewere, try their travel centre for prifessional assistance. The pool is refreshing for a lazy day outside. It is a great stopover if you are on your way to Zanzibar with the ferry only a few blocks diwn the road.

Is a good place bordering a good garden. They have a swimming pool where you can enjoy a good view of the garden.

It is a coolest place, serviced with very proffesional people, with high hospitality and people who care the value of their customers…

Although it was a "last"minute thing, the management and staff welcomed over 100 of us when our flight was diverted by the cyclone around Mauritius and we landed 15000 miles away in Dar es Salaam in Tanzania. MICHEAL the manager and his staff were incredible, nothing was too much trouble. Lovely hotel fantastic staff and excellent food. We thank you soooooo much for an enjoyable overnight stay, credit to Tanzania.

This has the best experience, very comfortable with background music at the elevators. The lift are spacious. The carpet is comfortable at the walkway. The rooms are breath taking. The staff are hospitable and ready to support. Safe. A nice hotel to stay while in Dar and lastly it has an ocean view.

Apart from location being within walking distances to offices of all Government Ministries, Departments and Agencies based in Dar as well as the CBD the Southern Sun has well appointed rooms with a view of the Botanical Gardens and the Gymkhana Golf course. The Southern Sun has the best breakfast in Dar.

Tranquil and very private. Favourable for business meetings. Accessible from all corners of Dar Es Salaam City centre.

Good hotel close to conference centre. Very good breakfast. Room was neat, clean and as expected.

The place is very lovely, good environment, calm with nice food. I really enjoyed my stay.

Amazing service! They pay attention to detail. Staff is very helpful! The breakfast buffet is world class. Walking distance to other restaurants, small shopping complex and embassies.

The hotel is nice. It has a good breakfast. Gym is too small and the pool cam rarely see any sun cuz the it is on the ground floor and hidden behind the building. Service is good. Try not to book the transport or taxi with them because it is overpriced.

It is definitely a must try for the restaurant called Baraza. Amazing service, great food and nice ambience. Beyond expectations and worth trying. Keep it up!

Not too bad. But President Walmont in Malawi was better. Southern sun is over priced for very little. Not worth the money for a quality stay. Staff is awsome. Food was great.

After enjoying a relaxing days by the pool we decided to try the delicious food in the restaurant. Incredibly happy we did. The chef was kind enough to come introduce himself and hospitable. I would definitely recommend.

It's found in the heart of Dar es salaam yet it's less crowded. A convenient hideaway joint.

Good hotel. The Wi-Fi has been on and off every 5 minutes for the past 2 days… but other than that, the hotel is very nice and enjoyable.

Good but busy of other issues to attend I didnt test the whole service but I will be back one day.

Its a calm place to be when u want to relax. Nice food. Nice services.

Great hotel. Look out for the managers cocktail night on Wednesday evenings. Gardens next door are run down which is a shame.

Great hotel. Good stuff. L like the room. They have good menu of food.

Great Staff! Extremely welcoming and hospitable. I have one name to mention, Mr Lucas from room service. He was so helpful by suggesting some local dishes as I was not sure on what to have. He also gave me info about what to visit in Dar es salaam. Hes a great member of the team.

The rooms are very neat and the breakfast was top class. For the price, however, I would expect a slightly larger room. Friendly and helpful staff. There is a small fitness area which was useful after a late night flight. The fitness centre includes a weight rack, 2 treadmills, 2 bicycles and a rowing machine. There a also a few mats for stretching, a water cooler and some complimentary apples.

This place is just amazing. Best breakfast in town and helpful, intelligent staff. Wonderful food, prompt service, can't recommend it enough.

I love Southern Sun! Each time that I have been in Dar, I have stayed here! The manager/staff are so friendly, professional and so kind! In June, I had a wonderful birthday cake, the manager and staff sang, Happy Birthday to me! It was so amazing! I will never forget that day! I appreciate everyone there!

Had a great dinner indeed.

Very nice, clean, and stylish hotel. Quality buffet food as well.

Although on the pricier end in terms of hotels in Dar es Salaam, the Southern Sun's most notable aspect is its consistency of service. The breakfast is very good and the menu has been revamped. This is a great place to work out of during the day. Staff is most friendly and remember you if you're a returning guest. When you need a getaway in Dar while on a business trip, definitely spend a day here to refresh and reset.

I really appreciates SOUTHERN SUN love you so much.

Wooow I remember those dayz.

Nyc with a beautful view.

Great Place, outstanding customer service.

Nice place with lots of comfortability, nice food n rooms too.

Its one of the decent place of dar es salaam, service is good, rooms are good, location is best, sea is just near by, european unions office is near by standard chartered bank next to the hotel.
