Need to work on cleanliness and wifi
Location is really noisy, on one side busy dusty road and other side lot of construction work of overbridge. Cant dare to keep windows open. Room cleanliness bit issue as found small cockroaches roaming in the room. Wifi very slow, almost impossible to work. Just good part is their restaurant food.

I liked that this hotel had a restaurant on the premises. The staff were very friendly and courteous. The pool and outdoor lounge offer a perfect place for relaxition. There is also a spa in the hotel. Aside from the construction in the area, this is a great place to stay. It is close to the airport and the City Center The hotel offers free WiFi.

I highly recommend this hotel CBD to anyone coming to Da Es Salaam. From Houston, Texas CBD was my home for like almost a week. Stayed here before taking a trip to Dubai and came back stayed at CBD again. The staff are the best and the restaurant is great and good food. Very clean hotel.. The hotel is very kool and not too much traffic and you get to have a good quality private time at the patios. Gonna stay here 3 different times this month of February .. CBD is gonna be my main spot when I visit Tanzania / Da Es Salaam

6/10 Good

Room had a faint musk smell and surfaces were not very clean. They tried to put us in a room below what we paid, but once we complained, they moved us to a slightly better room. Had Indian Cusine dinner which was good. Not much more options for dining in the neighborhood. Noisy dirty dusty main road.

I loved the proximity to airport and ferry. The staff were very accommodating and friendly. The breakfast was quite hearty. The only negative is the bathroom didn’t have enough towels. Only I bath towel and when I asked for more they brought 1 bath and said they had no hand towels. Overall a nice place for a one night layover.

2/10 Poor

Old hotel. Water in the shower does not drain well and water fills up. Hotel lobby is super hot. AC does not work at all in the lobby. Restaurant sells cakes and pastries 5 days old for the same price as if it's fresh. They are so old, dry and smell chemicals. Staff started cleaning lobby snd restaurant in the morning with chemicals and those chemicals, the smell of them can be tasted in food as well. Horrible. The other misleading info hotel does is advertise half board or full board and when you book you assume meals included. But the catch is you have to spend no more then fifteen dollars per person for either lunch or dinner, and if you went over the price cap you have to pay difference. It's something that CBD hotel does not enclose in booking. It is Indian owned and operated hotel/restaurant and attention to details is zero

Wonderful staff who were very friendly and helpful. One of the staff, Adam, even lent me his phone charger when mine wasn’t working. Would definitely stay here again. They also had an amazing breakfast.

6/10 Good

I had a disappointing experience at this hotel. Despite booking for half board, I was repeatedly informed that I would have to pay extra if I spent more than £15 a day. However, the prices on the menu were already higher than that amount, which made me feel like they were engaging in unethical practices by misleading customers. The hotel itself is quite old and in need of renovation. The swimming pool was in a terrible condition, and the location was noisy and dusty. The food at the restaurant often tasted off and even made me sick. Additionally, the hotel is not conveniently located near any attractions or amenities. Rooms are extremely small with minimal amenities. TV most of the times not working so is the air conditioning. Too many smokers and the whole places smells of smoke. Overall, I do not believe this hotel deserves its claimed four-star rating.
