All the staff were very friendly: Bruce the GM and Jerome his deputy went out of their way to introduce themselves and welcome us to the Hotel. The staff couldn't do enough for us. The reception organised a pick up from the ferry terminal and transport to the airport. The hotel is close to the various foreign embassies. It's close to the national museum which is worth a morning visit. And It feels safe to walk to the supermarket (a few mins away) or going the other direction it's about a 20mim walk to the centre. But Tuk Tuks are cheap and generally easy to find. The swimming pool although not deep, is a lovely oasis in the city. really enjoyed our stay.
Could do with a shower /foot wash near the pool before and after the swim.

Clean rooms with appropriate amenities. Hotel has recently reopened so rooms, corridors all look clean and fresh. Small gym with good equipment and a pool to relax by. I stayed a total of 3 nights and enjoyed the location. The national museum is located within an easy walk of the hotel, there is also a supermarket very close by. Many embassies appeared to be located in the hotel area. The staff were all very friendly and helpful and Bruce the manager personally greeted people during breakfast and made me feel extremely welcome. I ate dinner at the hotel on 2 occasions and enjoyed the food. Breakfast was a buffet and had a nice selection of foods and drinks.
Nothing to dislike. A couple of times I had a problem getting hot water in the shower….had to leave shower running for a while.

This newly reopened hotel is a true gem! We arrived on our anniversary and had beautiful roses and champagne as well as fruits waiting for us in our room. The stylishly decorated hotel is walking distance from the city and the ocean, but is located in a very quiet nature setting, away from busy streets, and it feels so peaceful being here. Everything is extremely clean and the staff couldn’t be any nicer! We only wanted to stay one night to take care of some business in the city, but we ended up staying 3 nights. Thank you to Jerome and his team for their kind hospitality and for making us feel so welcome! You guys are the best, and we look forward to staying with you the next time we’re in Dar.
What is not to line here??? Keep up the great work guys!

The hotel offers very decent value for money. It only recently opened, and everything was functioning to perfection. Staff extremely helpful and friendly, and so was the general manager Bruce, who even invited me for dinner and a good glass of wine. I'll definitely come back!
Can't think of anything. Kudos to the Southern Sun!

This time I just spent one night here, but it was so lovely to be welcomed again like a family member. Everyone from the reception to the restaurant came to greet me and asked about my husband who couldn’t make it on this short trip. Being here just feels like home!

Location and the staff. Property is fairly good
Limited choice of Whisky’s at the bar. TV’s in the rooms need to be upgraded to Smart ones to lessen the limit on in room entertainment. Bathrooms need to be upgraded… shower too small.

Good location; very friendly staff. Very good food.
Not sure but there seemed to be a liberal smoking policy, based on smell in common areas.
