So convenient to and from the airport. Not fancy but more than adequate for travelers looking for a good value and pleasant experience. I stayed extra days due to business in Dar before departure to Mbeya. Friendly and helpful staff. Shopping for essentials nearby as well as English language church on Sunday. I travel to TZ every year and I will stay at this Hotel from now on. Asante sana Transit Motel Suites!

Just what you need for a transit stop over. Great location, friendly staff, nice beds. Maybe throw in some earplugs as there's some traffic noise but hey, that's just Dar for you

The room was basic. It is very near to the airport. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We were met at the airport in the middle of the night. This is not a hotel to spend your holiday, but as one night in between flights it was fine.

Shuttle pickup worked easily and the Lodge is close to the airport, esp. for drop-off. Room was small but efficient. Aircon worked, got a decent meal late (but no Killy on hand to wash it down). Breakfast limited but have a Spanish Omelette. Neighbourhood is industrial, but for a short transit stay, worked well. And take advantage of the views on the terrace.

This my second stay at The Airport Transit Lodges. I stay in Dar for a short amount of time each year before traveling to other regions in Tanzania. Wonderful experiences. Free and reliable transportation to/from the airport. No hassle! Friendly and easy check in with full information about the stay, hotel amenities, etc. Clean, nice room with working AC, fan, shower, Wi-Fi and TV. Nice breakfast included (eggs, hot beverages, cereals and pastries). Other meals are reasonably priced, fresh cooked and delicious. A nice variety. Best part of the stay is the staff is ALWAYS available and ready to help in any way possible. Luxury for me is not about the size of the room but if I feel welcome and cared for. This is my new home hotel in Dar.
