I had a wonderful stay, thanks a lot to Issa, who welcomed me and took me around, also to the beautiful beach. The hostel is reachable by Daladala (+ 5 min walking), and many small shops are located around the calm area. Walking to the beach takes around 25 min, definitely worth it. Also enjoyed the nice breakfast and the nice garden. Asante sana!

    Absolute bargain in Dar-es-Salaam, best deal you can find by far. Nothing fancy but for 15$ all the basics are here, it’s very clean, AC works just fine, a nice shower with hot water, location is very central, the wifi is fast like in Europe, it’s safe and the staff is doing the job. That’s all but for such a cheap price in the heart of Dar there is no point paying more to sleep.

    It's a very rundown and old hotel but I come back every time I stay in Dar. It's very cheap and the location is unbeatable for that price, very central and close to the ferry to Zanzibar. The staff is nice, breakfast is basic but good with fruits, juice and eggs (for an extra 2000), and there's lots of nice restaurants in the area. If you're on a small budget and don't have high expectations it's a good place.
