The roof top bar was full of prostitues with at least one member of the bar staff acting as a pimp!" See all these reviews: 10n in Tanzania

Feedback Response
We were extremely disappointed to receive this traveller's feedback about lax standards at the Hyatt Regency. We contacted the hotel to follow up on the issues she raised and to express our serious concern about such poor management control. As a result of this feedback, we ceased booking rooms for our travellers at the hotel until we had full confidence that their expected standards and responsible management had resumed.

1 night Arrived 23 Sep 2022
"The Hyatt is a modern hotel. The rooms need a little bit of renovation. We had a sea-view club room, so we can use the club lounge. You get free wine and drinks and food from 6 to 8 pm. That was such a lot, that we didn't visit the restaurant.
The pool is nice and quite big.
We didn't leave the hotel, because there is nothing around." See all these reviews: 21n in Tanzania

"Due to problems on our outward journey and very late arrival into Dar es Salaam, we only spent about two and a half hours at the Hyatt Regency.
Nevertheless, our limited experience was all fine." See all these reviews: 8n in Tanzania

1 night Arrived 5 Aug 2021
"A comfortable, functional travel hotel in downtown Dar es Salaam.
The hotel was still operating under the strictures of COVID procedures, and probably wasn't quite at its best. Even so, the staff was responsive and efficient, the rooms were nice, and the food in the restaurants was good.
The rooftop bar (which was not fully open on weekdays) provides an excellent view of the harbor, and comings and goings of ferries and other vessels supply a nice back-drop for a glass of wine; it also has a pretty nice billiards table." See all these reviews: 12n in Tanzania; 12n in Zimbabwe

"Short stay before flight to Nairobi"
1 night Arrived 7 Sep 2016
"An impressive hotel to drive up to. Security very tight with gated access. Staff on reception were very friendly and helpful. Went up to our room with a porter taking the luggage. Room was comfortable and as only had 7 hours there (not overnight) decided to have room service for food. We only had a pizza each but they were promptly delivered on a trolley table at the time they said and were very good pizzas.
When we wanted to check out the porter was immediately up to the room to help and took us to reception. Checking out was painless and the staff friendly and helpful." See all these reviews: 10n in Tanzania

1 night Arrived 1 Jan 2016
"We only stayed at the hotel for one night, (New Years Eve), but as expected from such an international hotel, the room was very pleasant, large and good facilities. The hotel, has a great spot out on the waterfront and the roof top pool (which is on the roof of the 2nd floor podium) is great and the roof top bar (on top of the building) is great for an evening drink with views over the bay.
Wort noting the breakfast is very good." See all these reviews: 5n in Tanzania
