"The hotel was pleasant. Very clean and the staff were helpful - I was moved to a sea-facing room when I requested it. I would recommend this hotel to others who are visiting Oyster Bay in Dar es Salaam. The one issue I encountered was finding a working contact email address, which I require in order to request an invoice of my stay there. Otherwise, really great hospitality."

"A relatively nice place but needs some significant updating and TLC. Bed linen and sheets are very poor quality and seem very old. Lots of spots around the room with wires hanging, or plaster no painted over etc.. Rather unusual shower made out of doors! Location is good for most things"
