    maintenance issues

    An eventful stay with mixed moments

    I appreciated the friendly staff who were ready to help with any issues. Their smiles lightened our arrival despite the challenges faced during our stay.

    Unfortunately, our room had several maintenance issues, including a noisy fridge and a toilet that required multiple repairs, which hindered our overall comfort.

    Would recommend for a swift visit

    Comfortable room, delightful amenities, as I enjoyed the outdoor swimming pool and breakfast buffet during my two-night stay. Additionally, the location was perfect as my friends had just moved to the city and it was less than a mile from their new apartment.

    Nothing to be said.

    helpful staff
    morning noise
    cleaning staff bustle

    The Deluxe Double Room was pretty spacious and clean, which was a nice surprise. The shower was fantastic—really strong pressure and hot water when you need it. Staff were welcoming and helpful at check-in, giving a good vibe. But, it could get a bit noisy in the mornings with staff moving around. Overall, a solid stay!

    delicious food
    generous portions
    great location
    noisy environment
    worn-out towels

    The restaurant served some mouthwatering dishes that left my taste buds dancing! Oh, and shouting out to the generous portions—big enough to share or to just savor all by yourself! Plus, it’s in a prime spot, close to other dining gems like Zaika, where the local flavors truly shine.

    A little noisy in the mornings with staff bustling about. if you're a light sleeper, this might keep you from that much-needed beauty sleep! Also, the pool area could use a little love—torn towels and a not-so-friendly gym lady took the sparkle away.

    Great value and friendly vibes!

    After a short trip to Zanzibar, we really enjoyed our stay here! The staff was super friendly and helpful. The room was clean and comfy with a fantastic shower! Had a delicious breakfast in the restaurant, too. One downside was the noisy mornings with staff moving around. Overall, would totally recommend it for a chill stay in Dar!

    spacious room
    huge gym
    outdoor pool
    limited loungers

    Had a fantastic time with the spacious Deluxe Double Room and the immense gym that really helped me stay on track with my workouts. The outdoor pool provided a perfect escape to unwind after a long day. Just wish there were more lounging chairs available, but didn't ruin my overall experience! 😊

    restaurant service
    gym cleanliness

    The Colosseum Hotel features spacious rooms that are great for families, and the food was delightful. However, the gym facilitated a lot of activity but cleanliness could be improved, and the restaurant service left much to be desired. A lovely place overall with friendly staff.
