Thermen Hotels in Dar es Salaam

I'm going to give my honest review about Gold Tulip Resort in Dar es Salaam. This should not be a 4 Star Hotel it should be a 2.5 - 3 Star. My husband and I stayed at this location from 02/02/23 - 02/10/23. The driver for the hotel picked my husband and I up from the airport very nice man. I would like to talk about the Pro's and Con's of this place. Con's Finally arriving at our destination I was so confused and disturbed by how unpleasant it looked in the back of the building. The inside of the receptionist lobby was very clean and it smelled amazing. It was nice and cool. Taking the elevator to the 16th floor was extremely hot. They should install an air conditioning system or a fan inside of the elevator because it's very hot an muggy. My husband and I stayed in room 1606. The room was nice and spacious. Several things I did not like about the room. 1. TV was really small and it wasn't directly in the middle where it should've been. 2. No sports station only in the restaurant on the 20th and 21st floor which was super annoying. You're not able to enjoy your stay and watch sports in your room. 3. On February 9th it stormed and my husband and I were asleep. The sound of the thunder and lightening woke me up. I tried going back to sleep but I kept hearing rain drops which sounded as if it the rain was dropping onto the floor. I get up at 3am and check and low and behold the window seal was completely drenched and water was also on the floor. How is this possible??? They need to do some immediate work on their windows because this is extremely dangerous. 4. Bathroom was very unpleasant looking. The toilet was absolutely disgusting. No matter how many times the housekeeper came to clean the inside of the toilet where the water refills was so corded with rust. Everytime we flushed the water was brown. That was disgusting. It really bothers me when I needed to shower water would get all over the floor because there was no door to keep the water inside the shower. The existing glass door that's there water gets underneath it and gets all over the floor. Water temperature takes time to get hot. 5. Air conditioner unit is horrible and they need to replace all of them in each room. For this place to charge so much money they can afford to upgrade the air conditioning unit, TV, TV Stations, Glass door for shower, toilets, etc... 6. My husband and I ate at their restaurant almost everyday. The prices of their breakfast is ridiculous because the food they have for all you can eat wasn't pleasant. To charge what they charge is a bit outrageous. The drinks they have out are NEVER and I mean NEVER iced cold. When you ask them for ice it's always a hassle to get because their machine doesn't always work. It's really hot in the morning and not having an iced cold beverage is annoying. Dinner Menu I got really bored with. First thing I ordered on their menu was Chicken Tom Yom Soup. When I tell you this soup was no where near Tom Yom.soup. It tasted not

Die Umgebung ist wunderschön, der Strand ist draußen, kostenlose Parkplätze, Flughafentransfers sind kostenpflichtig, was in den Vororten liegt. Dieses Hotel bietet Full-Service-Einrichtungen, darunter Massage, Fitness, Schwimmen, Karaoke usw. und allgemeine englische Konversation!

Anlagen: veraltet Gesundheit: Es ist ähnlich wie ein normales altes Hotel im Inland, aber insgesamt ist sauber und der Balkon ist auch bequem, Umgebung: Ruhe, muslimische Chef, Hotel ohne Wein Das Zimmer muss das Meer sehen! Der Pool ist offen und es gibt viele Menschen! Das Frühstück ist nicht zu essen, aber man kann die Landschaft sehen, man kann Kaffee trinken und die Landschaft sehen! Dienst: langsam, aber immer gelöst!

Der Aufenthalt im Hyatt Regency Daressalam - The Kilimanjaro war hervorragend - absolut empfehlenswert. Das Hotel ist insgesamt sehr großzügig, die Zimmer sind sehr sauber, der Poolbereich ist sehr gepflegt und das Personal ist überaus freundlich und zuvorkommend. Das Frühstücksbuffett ist sehr reichhaltig und auch sonst verfügt das Hotel über diverse Einrichtungen zum Mittagessen und Abendessen. Für einen Städtetrip ist die Lage von dem Hotel bestens geeignet; der Hafen mit der Fähre nach Zanzibar sowie das Nationalmuseum sind in kurzer Zeit zu Fuß zu erreichen. Auch die Stadtmitte ist nur wenige Minuten entfernt. Trotzdem ist das Hotel sehr ruhig. Erwähnenswert ist auf alle Fälle noch die Roof Top Bar im obersten Stockwerk mit einem grandiosen Ausblick über den Hafen. The stay at the Hyatt Regency Dar es Salaam - The Kilimanjaro was excellent - absolutely recommendable. The hotel is overall very spacious, the rooms are very clean, the pool area is very well maintained and the staff is extremely friendly and accommodating. The breakfast buffet is very rich and also otherwise the hotel has various facilities for lunch and dinner. For a city trip, the location of the hotel is ideal; the port with the ferry to Zanzibar and the National Museum are within walking distance. The city center is also only a few minutes away. Nevertheless, the hotel is very quiet. Worth mentioning is definitely the Roof Top Bar on the top floor with a magnificent view over the harbor.

There should improve on their breakfast . I like tea or coffee but on the morning of 1 January the tea i was given if i am not mistaken with measurements it was 150mls in a very tiny cup. I think there should be an upgrade on quality of breakfast which i think was down graded compared to the previous breakfast i had in August 2022. At that time and day in August it was a buffet

Die Zimmer sind auch gut hygienisch, es gibt einige Abgelegenheiten, die Service-Einstellung ist auch gut, die Umgebung ist auch gut, es gibt drahtlose, kann man waschen und auch kostenloses Frühstück.

This place has gone down a lot. After over 20 years of staying here on different occasions this time was definitely the last time. First I enquired about vacancy via their website contact form to which I never got a response. Then getting nervous I wrote a second enquiry about availability and prices to the reservation email. Hours later I got a confirmation of the booking (which I hadn't made so far). Already on checkin they proudly presented me with ”my requested room” which wasn't the one I had asked for (they misread my email). Anyway, my request couldn't be accommodated (seaview/higher floor) so I stayed with what I was given. Very tired after about 20 hrs of travel. Then the live music started at the Thai restaurant. Meanwhile the fridge was rattling like a dala dala because there was so much ice build-up (see photo). I needed to pull out the fridge to reach the plug and while I was at it I defrosted the fridge over night. There was also a lot of noise harassment from reception area during the night. Seems to echo up the hallway. The next day they offered to shift to another room but I wasn't prepared to pack and unpack again. However, I should have (they could have given me a warning!) as the second night there was yet more live music, this time on the hotel terrace in front of my window. Full blast TV plus aircon could not drown the incredible noise until 23:00. They even slipped a paper under the door ”sorry for inconvenience”. That was two nights with hardly any chance of sleep. Asking for a late checkout (afternoon) to catch up with some much needed sleep before another 24 hrs of travel ahead just prompted very unpleasant and unprofessional communications with a nice but not very competent lady at reception. Supposedly no manager around (it's weekend?!). Then after yet another enquiry I was supposed to pay full price for a couple of hours extension, then was offered 10% discount on full rate, then was offered 80usd, then 60usd. Is this a bazaar? The lady at reception never got back at me (supposedly she phoned the room, however the phone never rang - maybe that's also not working? and why not send someone up if clearly the guest was waiting for an answer?). They need some training in communications and I can't believe there is no manager with decision making competence over the weekend?!? Zero goodwill shown after two nights of incredible party noise. It seems to be no problem to check in hours before regular checkin but there is no grace for checking out a few hours later. Not even after hotel related sleep deprivation. Now sitting in the hallway writing this review, the receptionist came with the phone....... manager wants to talk to me?!? Where was he/she during the last 24 hrs? Luckily there are many other good options in the area meanwhile but this experience leaves a very bitter taste after so many years of staying here.

Die Lage ist weit vom Stadtzentrum entfernt und der Preis ist relativ günstig. Außerhalb des Hotels sind relativ schäbige Gegenden, aber auch der allgemeine Entwicklungsstand von Tansania ist durchschnittlich, so dass es nicht viele wirklich gute Gegenden gibt. Die hygienischen Bedingungen sind durchschnittlich und die Tischdecken im Restaurant sind fleckig. Im Allgemeinen ist das Niveau der inländischen Express-Hotels in Ordnung, aber es wird nicht für hohe Lebensbedingungen empfohlen.

Wir wollten uns für einen Tag etwas erholen und buchten ein Appartement mit 2 Schlafzimmern und Küche. Das Appartement ist sehr schön und groß mit tollen Betten. Perfekt für Familien geeignet. Eine super tolle Einbauküche mit einem großen Kühlschrank. Aber das war schon das positive an der Küche. Keinerlei Teller oder ähnliches. Es gab einen Wasserkocher aber nur 2 Tassen und 2 Gläser und einen Löffel. Es gab 1 kleine Tüte löslichen Kaffee und 2 Tüten schwarzen Tee und Zucker, den man nicht richtig aus dem Papier bekam. Für so ein großes Appartement geht das nicht. Der Strand ist superschön und der große Pool auch. Da wir aber leider Sonntags hier waren, gab es sehr viele Tagesgäste, welche sich nicht so gut benahmen. Der große Pool war voll von den Familien. Der gesamte Poolbereich war dreckig. Es lagen lauter Getränkebecher usw rum. Mein Mann hatte zum Glück Flip Flops an, am Poolbereich trat er in so eine Pinnadel. Ohne Schuhe wäre das böse ausgegangen. Unsere Kinder wollten was essen. Wir bekamen kalte Pommes und der Mann wollte meinen Mann 1000 Schilling mehr ”abknöpfen” obwohl der Preis angegeben war. Er reagierte etwas säuerlich als mein Mann ihm das sagte. Es geht nicht um die paar Cents aber um die Art und Weise. Wir gingen dann zum Abend auf den langen Steg. Auch dieser war richtig dreckig mit lauter Papier und Bechern. Wirklich super traurig. Wir bestellen uns Essen aufs Zimmer. Dieses schmeckte sehr gut. Das Frühstück am nächsten Morgen war super und sehr reichhaltig. Der Poolbereich war jetzt auch sauber. Alles in einem ein schönes Hotel mit sehr netten Angestellten ( außer den einen Angestellten beim Pommes Kauf am Pool), nur nicht am Wochenende zu empfehlen. Vielleicht sollte man auf bestimmte Tagesgäste verzichten, bzw darauf achten, dass diese sich nicht wie auf der Straße benehmen und überall ihren Müll hinschmeißen. Das haben wir bisher noch in keinem Hotel erlebt und das hätte man hier nie erwartet.
