    ideal location
    friendly staff
    well-stocked buffet
    lack of water

    My stay at Rainbow Hotel was delightful! The location is ideal, just a short walk to the ferry and local markets. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, ensuring our breakfast buffet was well-stocked even towards the end of service.

    Could use complimentary drinking water.

    comfy beds
    decent breakfast
    budget vibe

    So, I crashed at Rainbow for a night and it was super close to the ferry terminal. Beds comfy and breakfast was surprisingly decent with eggs made to order. Just don’t expect luxury. it’s more of a budget stopover vibe.

    5.0

    The location is a major convenience, just a short walk to the ferry terminal, perfect for travelers heading out. the air conditioning worked well once I was moved to a different room, which made my stay much more comfortable.

    Unfortunately, the initial room I was given had a distinct unpleasant odor and the shower hadn't seen much love—it was rather grimy with brown stains. The bed wasn’t exactly plush either. more like a slab of concrete that kept me awake at night, and I had to ask for cleaner sheets as the original ones were questionable at best. On top of that, no mosquito netting made me an easy target for the local bugs, resulting in a few itchy wake-up calls. I hoped for better, but it fell short.

    air conditioning issues

    The warm hospitality from the staff made my stay truly enjoyable, with attentive service that ensured everything was to my liking.

    The air conditioning in my room had a few hiccups initially, requiring some adjustments before it worked effectively.

    Exploring Dar es Salaam 🌍

    My deluxe room was spick and span—comfy bed, lekker shower with hot water and cold, all that jazz. Plus, the chommies at the reception were super helpful when I needed tips for local eats. Buying brekkie was easy, sweet just around the corner.

    The brekkie buffet was just ok, nothing to write home about.

    attentive staff
    unpleasant odor
    non-functioning air conditioning
    limited breakfast options

    The location of the place is incredibly convenient, being just a short walk from the ferry terminal. The staff demonstrated commendable hospitality, showing genuine care and attentiveness throughout my stay. the room I received had a noticeable odor, and the air conditioning didn't function properly until I was moved to a different room. Breakfast options were limited, with a repetitive menu during my stay, leading to less variety than I'd hoped for.

    central location
    accommodating staff
    unpleasant smell
    air conditioning issues
    limited breakfast options

    The location is very central, just a short walk from the ferry terminal, making it convenient for travelers heading to Zanzibar. The staff were accommodating, allowing for early check-in and late check-out to fit our travel schedule. the room had an unusual smell, and the air conditioning was not functioning initially, though we were moved to a more pleasant room. Breakfast was acceptable, featuring a variety of options including seasonal vegetables.
