With a last minute diversion to Dar Es Salaam for some meetings, I came choose the Alexander because it was #1 on Trip Advisor and I agree fully with the rating and the reviews. I sent an email on Sunday morning with the hopes of checking in on Sunday night and Gordon was so quick to email me back and... More

Alexanders is probably the best place to stay if you are in Dar es Salaam for business. Location is great as it is on the peninsula not far from the town centre and close to all embassies. Great restaurant with fantastic seafood and fresh salads! I would recommend the calamari! There is free wireless internet, good restaurant bar, great air-condition... More

Great experience. Good value for money. Cosy atmosphere. Best hotel in Dar. There is a wonderful terrace with excellent wifi. Excellent pick up service in airport. No business center. You can walk to the beach in few minutes. A bit difficult to find, and book well in advance.

We arrived at Alexander's hotel after a long flight and returned several times during our three week stay in Tanzania. We found it very tasteful, small and relaxing. A lovely little pool which our children and we loved plus a spotless breakfast room and upstairs dining area with tasteful decorations. Attentive staff, interesting books to browse through, good food. The... More

It is a small, intimate hotel where all the guests sit together for breakfast and where the rooftop bar provides the perfect atmosphere to relax and enjoy a gentle evening breeze. The food is fantastic (seafood that had been caught that morning... More

On my first night I had splurged on a stay at the rather amazing Oyster Bay Hotel - that has a website and press-cuttings that speak for themselves and... More

Myself (Grandma), my daughter and partner and their 11 year old twin boys found ourselves in a tranquil peaceful haven. We had three short breaks there during our month in Tanzania and each time we were so happy to return. Gordon the owner and his staff couldn't have treated us with more kindness and efficiency. The small garden and the... More

Surviving the traffic from the airport Alexanders' is a uber welcome haven. Stunning architecture, super neat and almost serene. Well composed staff and very helpful and friendly management. The rooms are very neat, TV and internet. An inviting and remarkable pool. Breakfast downstairs caters for all and the upstairs bar and restaurant always has a hailing breeze. The food is... More

Well... from the superb reviews i was expecting a proper restaurant with a romantic evening setting or something close to that!we even dressed up my boyfriend & I! but it turned out to be a casual place. Overall the place looks nice & clean, didn't get a chance to look at the rooms but they seem spacious. i would definitely... More
