With the road construction in Dar, Protea was not close to the airport, but well worth the drive! This is a top notch hotel! The unnamed hotel close to the airport in Dar is in poor condition; but Protea exceeded our expectations! The courtyard is beautiful with the tropical plants and swimming pool. The free breakfast had the most variety I have ever been offered at any hotel, from American food, to Dutch food, to local food, to Indian food. I have never seen such a huge buffet for breakfast! All free! The dinners are served in style. The chef decorates the plate with food before serving it to you, and then personally comes out of the kitchen to make sure that you are pleased! We asked if we could leave our luggage there after we checked out, because our flight was not until mid-night. Not a problem! They even offered we could shower after our trip to the beach! We are recommending Protea Courtyard to all of our friends flying into Dar es Salaam!

The staff at reception are very receptive. Especially Doroh and Sarah(trainee). Quick to sort the minor issues. We had good banter thru my stay. Will be staying again next time.

Protea Marriot was a wonderful place to stay. It was very clean. The bed was comfortable. I loved the beautiful colored glass lamps and light fixtures. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The transport driver was so kind and helpful. We had dinner in the restaurant. It was amazing. The food and service was excellent. I would definitely stay there again. Thanks Protea Marriot for a wonderful stay.

Staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. Food (particularly the Indian dishes) were very tasty - breakfast buffet selection is great. Bed was a little more firm than I'm used to, but comfortable. Decor/fixtures are a little dated but still classy and picturesque.

Old world charm in a city!
Interesting hotel with serious ambience. A great location close to the city without feeling like every other major hotel chain. This hotel is just different and does not pretend. The beds are good and the security is great.

Comfort and character - oasis in the hectic city!
In town for 4 nights, needed a place to work in my room, rest, and then meet people at the hotel. This was perfect. The courtyard is serene with plenty of seating, the rooms warmly decorated. The food and location were good, but what this place exceed all expectations was the service. In fact, I commented on this to one of the people who immediately reflected back on the manager, who happened to be present when I checked in and made a point of saying hello. The place feels more like a warm and inviting lodge than a cold hotel. I'd definitely go back.
