"Serena Hotel Dar review"

1 night Arrived 8 Jul 2023
"A large very comfortable hotel on the peninsula in Dar.

We had a large well equipped room and ate in the hotel as we were only staying for one night before an early pick up to go back to the airport.

The service in a quiet restaurant was pretty slow on this visit." See all these reviews: 17n in Tanzania

"Serena Hotel Dar review"

1 night Arrived 13 Feb 2023
"Not much to say about this hotel. It does what it says on the tin.

It’s a large international business standard hotel ideal for an overnight stay in Dar. This was my post flight hotel to give me a little time to recover from the overnight flight from the UK before a 6 hour drive to Kilwa.

The room was clean and comfortable. I spent a little time in the terrace bar, had a nice meal and read my book before crashing for the rest of the day.

Breakfast was a buffet with a large selection of foods on offer." See all these reviews: 14n in Tanzania
