Protea Hotel Dar es Salaam Oyster Bay

Friendly staff; decent prices for laundry; very good and healthy food; location; airport pick up and return.

A great location for both business and leisure visit to Dar es Salaam.

Showers are due for upgrade.

Welcoming, accessible and clean

The church ceremony early in the morning

Staff were fantastic. Location perfect for my office and Room lay out great as they have a separate bedroom.

Kitchen units and wardrobes need renewing. They are old and and draws broken.

I did like the place. The kitchenette was a real bonus. Loft was fun and nice if you plan to meet business partners in your room.

Rooms back on to a noisy road. Curtains could be thicker as light outside is quite bright.

I loved everything!; I highly recommend for its cozy rooms, friendly staff, serene atmosphere and customer service. A big thumbs up! many thanks to Manager Suman for providing such high class customer care

Immaculate, spacious rooms.Quietness Special mention to ZamZam and Catherine at the restaurant. Genuine people and very professional.Getrude, the manager. Remembered every guests' names.Being allowed the use of an ironing table all week.Breakfast was varied, plentiful and delicious.

Cold shower water every day.Although a 30 mins walk to the beach, the hotel is fairly isolated as far as local restaurants are concerned with only one local premises close by.Hotel Taxi failed to turn up on time after my arrival at the airport. Had to book a local one.Tiny, cramped gym but was ok if nobody else was using it at the same time.With an early departure to the airport on Saturday morning, I booked a airport shuttle through the hotel on Wednesday morning. I was assured everything was booked.On Friday evening I checked again and was it was booked.and the reception showed me where it had been written. On Saturday morning, there was no taxi and the hotel had to find an alternative. .

The property is clean and the staff attentive. It is located close to the place that o needed to go every day but it is also close to upmarket areas such as Slipway.

The food in the local restaurant became monotonous after a couple of days. Occasionally, there were problems with hot water in the bathroom, particularly late morning. I was also asked to chance my room for no apparent reason and the room turned out to be worse.

it was near all placed we have visited, near the beach you can catch a taxi or 3 wheels

Great service, comfortable room, descent gym.

All is good, but the breakfast can improve with variety

Almost everything was great. Large split level room with kitchette (free upgrade).Didn't use pool, but sat by it. Only found there was a gym at the last moment, didn't try

Unfortunately, it appears Tanzanians or most visitors are under 6 feet tall. I'm only a little over 6 ft, but my feet hung off the end of the, otherwise comfortable, bed.

I arrived at 04:00 am, was greeted warmly. My room was, I think, upgraded to a split level/duplex with kitchenette. Which was very kind, but as an older man, who may have to get up in the night for the bathroom, having to navigate stairs when I was very tired was a slight (only) chore. And later I discovered they had a gym, which I would have tried, if I'd had time. Breakfast was included and was good.

Clean place Small but good breakfast optionsRoom is spacious Staffs are friendly ans helpful

Gym a bit smallWeekend a bit noisy at the surroundings Furnitures and the setting of the room is a bit outdated.

Friendly staff...Good food.

Older rooms, they need modernization.

Breakfast was gd.and the location too.

On wifi

The place was spacious and the location was good.

Something got brocken in the room which I was sure wasn’t my fault. The management couldn’t take time to listen to my side of the story. Just adamant in the accusation and demand to pay for a replacement. That was the very lowest and most embarrassing highlight on all the travels I have ever made.

The staff were exceptionally kind and helpful. Gertrude and Happy at the front office were the highlight of my stay

excellent breakfast great locationvery polite and helpful stuff

The staff were really friendly and understanding, the apartment was very comfortable and I'd stay for more except it was over my budget and there was no long stay discounted rate.

There was no long stay discounted rate , I was willing to go forward and complete my 6 weeks stay in Dar Es Salaam in the same hotel, but they didn't give me a good rate, and instead it was calculated with a higher rate than Booking.com

Nice and clean property pool and restaurant are good

You cannot walk outside it is far from everything
