This hotel exceeded our expectations! All the staff made our stay perfect in all regards. A big thank you to Sherife who really helped us to catch the ferry to Zanzibar. I don’t think we could have managed without her assistance. We’re from Australia and travelling the world on bicycles so very grateful for that. The food was outstanding and catered for my dietary requirements with no problem. Highly recommend staying here!

CBD has been one of my main Hotel Spots whenever my fiance and I visit Dar Es Salaam. The food is great and the staffs are wonderful. Flying from Houston, Texas to Tanzania one place I spent more time before going to Zanzibar or South Africa or Kenya is CBD in Dar Es Salaam. I stayed in this hotel 3 different times in one month during my one month vacation away from America. very clean and great hospitality. House keepers are the best. I highly recommend it for anyone travelling to Dar Es Salaam. I love CBD and will always stay here when I visit Dar Es Salaam again. And again.
