The staff is very friendly...airport is 25 mins away

Pros: Lantana is located in Sinza, right in the residential area. This was perfect for me as I wanted to experience life with the local people but also be in a decent hotel. I had easy access to shops, restaurants, and other convenient places I needed. My check-in was superb, Jeanet (the front-of-house lady) was quite helpful. Even at check out, they helped me with printing my COVID Test results for free. The hotel has a lovely restaurant on the top floor with lovely views. I enjoyed my breakfasts there watching over the vibrant Sinza. They have a well-stocked bar at the restaurant and the ladies (Jojo) who tend the bar are quite friendly and with a good English command, which you really appreciate in Tanzania as most people speak Swahili. The bathroom has a toothbrush and toothpaste on top of the usual toiletries. I liked that.

Cons: I stayed in their executive room. I felt like that TV was very small for that room. Invest in a bigger TV, It will make a whole lot of difference.

Pros: Excellent staff

Cons: The breakfast

Pros: Lantana hotel is so comfortable. We booked the executive suite and the room was amazing and big and we had AC. The staff at the reception was so welcoming. Cheers to Joyce at the reception who was amazing to us. It is at 7 km of downtown. Not really good location but with taxi it's OK. We had a private Jaccuzzi in the room 😍

Cons: The breakfast is the most disappointing point..not yummy at all and they make it as a buffet but when you want to take Maybe a second pancake the weather come by running to tell you it's enough. They need to workout that point.

We ordered two times and they were so kind and it didn’t came that late. Since we are a fasting couple they offered us to eat our breakfast at night. Also Mlimani city mall is close. Oh yeah and they offered free pick up from the ferry terminal. Amazing! I will for sure be back!

Cons: Nothing. Everything was perfect and the price is very good!

Pros: Good value of money The room was upgraded by Booking.com, and it’s really nice, spacious, sofa sitting area, very nice comfortable bed, jacouzy , bath shower, bidet Staff are very nice and friendly and helpful....

The restaurant was nice when we dined there. All of the staff are very friendly and went out of their way to help us when we approached them with questions. They always did their best to make sure we were comfortable and when they were not able to leave their post to assist us they found someone trustworthy who would guide us from the hotel to help us carry out specific tasks. The service goes above and beyond the asking price.

Pros: A simple place located at the poorer side of Dar Es Salam, but it is less than 10 minutes away from the airport. We loved the simplicity of the hotel, but most importantly the exceptionally helpful and genuinely kind staff. All staff from reception to the kitchen were very kind to us who had just arrived from a long trip and were extremely tired. The cook was very generous with her cooking and portions. The omplette sandwich was delicious!!!! Réception also arranged a free airport pick up for us who was punctual and very friendly as well.

Cons: N/A

Pros: Wifi was really strong and good in our room and in the main area, which was important for us while in transit.

Bed was comfortable. Water was hot and food was simple and nice. They were kind enough to print our PCR certificates before going to the airport, nothing was too much trouble. Everyone was very friendly. We felt safe too.

Pros: Picking up service great at all times, Very Nice service of the crew and nice breakfast area

Pros: Our host was EXCELLENT, he was most welcoming and our accomodations were wonderful. We got in late and he made us food and made us feel like family. I am telling everyone I know to start their adventures here. The other staff that came in the next morning was so pleasant and also kind and welcoming. This start to our stay in Tanzania was excellent thanks to this amazing staff and this beautiful hotel. I also loved the simple decor and the openest to the night's sky. This was truly some you read about in great novels.

Cons: It took too long for the food to arrive each time after ordering in the outside restaurant

Pros: Their breakfast is a joke! Out of words to describe this place!

Cons: 1.Breakfast was terrible! If you ever wanna try bony chicken nuggets, undercooked buns and spoilt fruits for breakfast, you're most welcome to lodge at Greenlight Hotel! 2. They threw us out of the room at exactly 10 a.m and made us wait for our ride outside with our luggage. That was by far the most humiliating experience I've ever had in a hotel! Couldn't even allow us late check out by a few minutes! Pathetic! 3. Would you ever go back to a hotel that would deny you an iron?! This place is something else!

Pros: We were warmly received. The manager welcomed us at the airport and made sure our stay was comfortable. The property is located only a few Kilometers from the airport making it easy to come in and go considering the busy traffic in Dar-es-salaam.

Pros: close to airport, on-site paid shuttle wifi works and is free on-site restaurant

Pros: Close to the airport, fair price , great food , friendly staff

Cons: Bathroom could be improved

Pros: The Staff was so warm especially the lady at the reception. She is good at what she is doing. Very professional and welcoming. Wish I had more cash to tip her unfortunately I didn't have changed money. The Restaurant had good service too.

Cons: WiFi was unavailable. This was a serious problem as I could not communicate with family back home. If this is not taken care of next time I might have problem staying there or recommending to my colleagues.

Cons: Water in the shower was hardly hot - but refreshing :-)

Pros: It is a secure location, and close to the airport which is what I wanted.

Cons: Shower wouldn’t work, very little water and nothing hot/warm.

Pros: Breakfast

Cons: Not safe

Pros: They have a light breakfast included in the room rate

Cons: The place was really dirty and the location is not very tourist-friendly. Wifi only works at reception and I never felt comfortable staying there because the whole day there was a group of men just hanging out in this area to use the wifi who were constantly staring at us and they created such a weird vibe. The place was overall just sketchy.

Pros: The accomodation is located in the city center near many restaurants. The staff was polite and helpful. The room was small and furniture needed some refurbishment. The bathroom was simple but clean. There was hot water, which is a huge plus.

Cons: The breakfast included in the price is just a glass of juice, slice of bread and some jam and margarine. If you want something more, you have to pay, however, there is not much choice even for paid options.

Pros: Basic and good for one night stay on the way from Zanzibar to Mikumi. Staff is friendly and helpful. They helped me to organize early morning drive to the bus to Mikumi.

Pros: The location was somewhat okay

Cons: The bedroom was small, not clean, and the bathroom was disgusting. Breakfast should definitely be skipped, as it was very incomplete and inedible. The staff was friendly enough to help me by explaining how the bus works so I could get away as soon as possible. Never coming back and never looking back. It was a nightmare turnt reality.

Cons: I wasn’t informed of the WiFi

Pros: Good customer service in attending issues promptly.

Cons: Long stay was missed...friendly safe environment to do your chores with great food

Pros: The location wasn’t too bad. Breakfast was okay. Good if you are on a budget otherwise spend a little more and get a nicer place. The staff was very friendly.

Cons: Room didn’t look like the one in the pic. Rooms were too small, balconies were connected so some from the other room could just cross over to your balcony.

Pros: Breakfast was nice.

Cons: The wifi was out, it took is two hours to get to the hotel from the airport, emails requesting a shuttle from the airport went unanswered, the room had cockroaches, had to carry our bags up four flights of stairs, the neighborhood was incredibly loud. I can't believe I was charges 60 usd to stay in a roach motel down a muddy side street.

Cons: I had made my booking and paid two weeks in advance of staying through Kayak, though when I called the hotel to confirm, my booking was not confirmed at the hotel. The hotel was fully booked and they had given away my reservation. There was no support from the hotel staff to find alternate accommodation. Overall, a very frustrating experience. I had heard similar accounts during my trip to Dar Es Salaam from other travelers booked at The Peacock. The location is also not the best. I would not recommend this hotel.

Pros: Fantastic

Cons: Familliality

Pros: The localistation - close to the bus station.

Cons: We didn't enjoy our stay. We chose this hotel only for its good location as it is near the bus station. There was no air condition in 1 of our rooms, there was no water in the bathroom (it barely dripped from the tap). It was very loud the whole night. The surrounding of the hotel is also not very friendly.

Pros: The view was nice

Cons: No wifi, constant power outages, got sick after eating in the restaurant and the bathroom was filthy...

Pros: View from upper levels is nice

Cons: Staff didn't know how to operate creditcard Terminal, had to ask for electricity in my room..., Air-conditioning leaked all over the floor, staff was arrogant, breakfast in the morning consistet of dry bread, bathroom was run down to put it mildly. Paid 40 dollars for a hotel best worth about 10.

Pros: Not much...

Cons: Hôtel was not like on the pictures. It's just old building close to the noisy bus station. We requested to have a bath like on the pictures, the answer was a yes, once there, we didn't had it. So we asked. They give us an old room but with bath. But.... It was not working!!! Couldn't take a shower! We waited for 1hour as they said they will find a way. When we came downstairs, they were talking together and just say that it couldn't work. So, after we said that we wanted to take a shower (strange isn't it?) They gave us back a room with shower. The option was: "take the room with shower or go somewhere else" at 7:30pm in the dark... Thanks for the option. Staff, and even manager was totally not helpful at all and quite rude. Noisy place because of the bus station, not there fault but still a reason to not go there
