Always a perfect choice for business travelers, clean, calm and relaxed atmosphere. However, some ladies at the reception need more training on treating customers right.

We stayed at the Crowne Plaza at the start of April for 5 nights. The staff were very helpful and obliging and when we requested a room change, it was no trouble. We had booked breakfast and there was plenty of choice - from continental to Swahili. Thank you Crowne Plaza for a lovely stay.

Business Trip to Dar es Salaam
The second stay at the Crowne Plaza in Dar es Salaam is always a pleasure.
Good food and clean rooms, and friendly staff in the reception.
The gym is ideal on the first floor, and the hotel is approximately 10km from the International Airport.
