“nice hotel on the penninsula”

The Doubletree is on the penninsula, which is a quiet location but not close to downtown. Also depending on traffic it can take several hours to get to the airport, so leave early if you have a flight to catch. The airport shuttle is more expensive than arranging for a cab. The hotel and rooms were very nice. There is an outdoor pool, fitness room, and you can also eat meals outdoors on the patio overlooking the water. The breakfast buffet offers a good selection of tasty items. The staff were all very freindly and helpful. If you want a quiet and relaxing location, this is a great choice.

“Comfort and convenience”

Having stayed in many hotels in Dar and surrounding area with mixed reviews I must say how impressed I was with the hotel. It is conveniently located in Misaki, close to the ocean and various notable locations such as Slipway where one can wander around, get an ice-cream, a coffee, buy a book or shop for souveniers. The hotel is clean with a friendly and helpful staff. The room was spacious and very comfortable with in room coffee/tea equipment. I will be going back to stay on my return to Dar. One issue I found was that the placemats are not changed on the tables enough as the tables I sat at were often spotted with food splotches from a previous guest. Please use paper disposable mats as they are more sanitary. Please, in the land of heavenly coffee offer the guests "real" coffee and not instant coffee. Train the staff to make proper filter coffee and keep the pots cleaned so the bitter residue does not transfer to the guest's cup of fresh brew. Breakfast was not bad but perhaps a menu change from day to day with the offerings of side dishes such as potatoes, beans and tomatoes. All staff were friendly and helpful. The ambience of the hotel overall is warm and welcoming.
