The hotel is 15 min walk from terminal 2 across a main road and over a bridge that goes over a rail line.see google maps. The room and bath are large with queen bed and sofa.good sized shower water was just off cold.ok in hot weather. I did not check food or other facilaties.It might be difficlt to get into town because of heavy trffic unless you could use train. It is quite good for cheap stay before flying

The property is closer to the airport, however, it is difficult to go even by taxi. The bed was ok, and room was good size (We stayed in deluxe king bed). Furniture is ok, but there is nothing else, not even a trashcan. Internet was not working. No elevators. Breakfast was meager. OK property for one-night desperate transit stay.

Seul avantage = proximité de l'aeroport

Personnel à l'accueil peu avenant. Nous avions reservé une chambre pour trois et nous nous sommes vu proposer un chambre a lit double, donc obligés de prendre une seconde chambre. Etat de la salle de bain très moyen. Plus de 2 heures d'attente au restaurant. Je ne conseille pas.

By far the worst hotel I have ever stayed at. The toilet smelled like sewer , the shower was filled with mold and everything is broken and dirty. Luckily I only spent a couple hours while waiting on my flight. Toilet had no seat bed sheets are no longer white but discolored yellowish brown. Outside is also a complete dump. This hotel needs a lot of work .

No online data retrieval facility

When I approached the Reception, first they said there is no such kind of registration / booking on this date in my name. Then I contacted my company who booked originally and retrieved online booking infos then submitted after that they allocated a room for me, I was stood IN front of the reception around 30 minutes because of their (the hotel reception) unawareness of online booking data.

Close to the airport and clean. Good sized beds and bathrooms. Fairly quiet, still get roosters crowing in the morning and sometimes a train in the distance. There's a restaurant attached to the hotel that is convenient. This hotel is nothing fancy but location is prime.

When i arrived at FQ Hotel there was not internet, therefore inwas unable to pull up the registration confirmation email for the hotel from my email and they werent able either. This lead to me talking abck and forth with the staff there for almost an hour after traveling for 24hrs. This part i was nkt happy about because i was tired. At the end I ended having to use my own hotspot enable to log in and obtain the email confirmation; which showed that i paid for the hotel months ago and thats when i was allowes to go to my room.

Good hotel 5 minutes from the airport

Hotel conveniently close to the Dar es Salaam airport. Quite new, clean, most of the staff is very friendly. Restaurant basic, but ok. Bar good. Room spacious, clean. Hot water in the shower :-) Only down side was that the manager, I presume, who was not very willing to accept that the room was paid through Hotels.com. Advice: Do the booking, but pay in the hotel upon arrival.

The hotel was pleasing in general. Especially its location very near the airport which was quite convenient for an early flight out of Dar es Salam. The restaurant had some shortcomings. The staff had difficulties understanding us and taking our orders. The kitchen was overwhelmed with only three tables to serve. Dinner ended up a fiasco, too late, wrong salad, etc and too late for reordering. Perhaps it was only the night we were there, but between two days of a travel, a nice restful dinner would have been much appreciated. Breakfast was nice, local and copious except for coffee which was not ready and had to be improvised with instant coffee and no milk at all. Other than that, the hotel was clean, safe and very conveniently located for in between flights.

Be aware there is not a free shuttle as advertised, though they will send a driver the very few blocks (which cannot be walked w luggage) to pick you up. The AC worked well and had a little hot water in the bathroom. Included "continental" breakfast w/boiled eggs, fried bananas. Electricity was fairly steady. Very loud outside noise, but low mosquito level. Staff was extremely friendly and quite helpful. I'd recommend if you are low maintenance or transiting traveler.
