"Southern Sun Dar review"
"Good Choice For An Overnight Stop"
We ate dinner on the terrace overlooking the pool which was good. We had an early breakfast the following morning which had plenty of choice.
All in all a good choice for an overnight stay when coming or going to the airport." See all these reviews: 9n in Tanzania; 7n in Zanzibar
"Ideal for a 1 night Stopover"
We arrived around 16.30 and left at 06.30 the following morning, during which time we enjoyed dinner in the restaurant, followed by a good nights sleep in the comfortable rooms. Breakfast - which is served buffet style starts from 04.00.
Highly recommend this hotel for a short stopover in Dar." See all these reviews: 9n in Tanzania; 5n in Zanzibar
"Good Overnight Stay"
The room was comfortable with everything you could need. There is a pleasant terrace in gardens with a swimming pool though we did not use it. We had an excellent evening meal and an early breakfast which was also excellent. All staff were pleasant and helpful.
We did attempt a stroll in the surrounding area in the early evening but there was not much to see. However there are botanical gardens next to the hotel which would be worth a visit if time allowed.
The taxi journey from and to the airport gives a glimpse of local life. A good hotel for an overnight stop but if there is a hotel nearer the airport I would be inclined to choose it." See all these reviews: 11n in Tanzania; 6n in Zanzibar
