Hotel Slipway

직원들 친절하고 식당 및 가게들 몰려있어서 가족여행이나 출장 목적에 모두 적합합니다. 시설은 좀 낡은 편이지만 관리는 잘되고 있는 편입니다.

The rooms are comfy and clean, staff friendly and helpful, high quality food and lots of choice in a very nice surroundings. However this is the first hotel I have stayed at where checkout time is 10,00 and there’s a big minus and complaint from my side for that. I suggest you change this policy!!

Our group of seven, family and friends, stayed at the Hotel Slipway. The Seaview rooms, services, food, and neighborhood location were excellent. We ate in the restaurants on the water and watched the sunset over the bay. The shops like the Green Room were exquisite. And being able to walk down the street to take the boat to a nearby island was wonderful. The hotel arranged for vans for our all day tour with a DAR friend, our travels around the city, and to early morning flights, even packing 7 bag breakfasts. Our friends who lived in TZ for over a decade always stayed here when in Dar. We all highly recommend staying here.

is the best hotel with great service nice view and very friendly staff I enjoy my stay there And the prices is very reasonable I really recommend for solo travelers you will meet up with good. People all around the hotel and plenty of offers in your stay

Finally back in Dar and of course i wanted to stay a few nights at Hotel Slipway like I always do when I have some time in Dar. Nice rooms, beautyful wievs, servicedminded staff. After a small understanding with som of the staff I also got an upgrade on ny room which made it a lot better for be as a guest. Breakfast was lovely as always! I will for sure come back and stay at Hotel Slipway!

This place has gone down a lot. After over 20 years of staying here on different occasions this time was definitely the last time. First I enquired about vacancy via their website contact form to which I never got a response. Then getting nervous I wrote a second enquiry about availability and prices to the reservation email. Hours later I got a confirmation of the booking (which I hadn't made so far). Already on checkin they proudly presented me with "my requested room" which wasn't the one I had asked for (they misread my email). Anyway, my request couldn't be accommodated (seaview/higher floor) so I stayed with what I was given. Very tired after about 20 hrs of travel. Then the live music started at the Thai restaurant. Meanwhile the fridge was rattling like a dala dala because there was so much ice build-up (see photo). I needed to pull out the fridge to reach the plug and while I was at it I defrosted the fridge over night. There was also a lot of noise harassment from reception area during the night. Seems to echo up the hallway. The next day they offered to shift to another room but I wasn't prepared to pack and unpack again. However, I should have (they could have given me a warning!) as the second night there was yet more live music, this time on the hotel terrace in front of my window. Full blast TV plus aircon could not drown the incredible noise until 23:00. They even slipped a paper under the door "sorry for inconvenience". That was two nights with hardly any chance of sleep. Asking for a late checkout (afternoon) to catch up with some much needed sleep before another 24 hrs of travel ahead just prompted very unpleasant and unprofessional communications with a nice but not very competent lady at reception. Supposedly no manager around (it's weekend?!). Then after yet another enquiry I was supposed to pay full price for a couple of hours extension, then was offered 10% discount on full rate, then was offered 80usd, then 60usd. Is this a bazaar? The lady at reception never got back at me (supposedly she phoned the room, however the phone never rang - maybe that's also not working? and why not send someone up if clearly the guest was waiting for an answer?). They need some training in communications and I can't believe there is no manager with decision making competence over the weekend?!? Zero goodwill shown after two nights of incredible party noise. It seems to be no problem to check in hours before regular checkin but there is no grace for checking out a few hours later. Not even after hotel related sleep deprivation. Now sitting in the hallway writing this review, the receptionist came with the phone....... manager wants to talk to me?!? Where was he/she during the last 24 hrs? Luckily there are many other good options in the area meanwhile but this experience leaves a very bitter taste after so many years of staying here.
