It is located on the peninsula and is close to all the embassies. Good location, good value for money, nice shopping centre/mall right below where you can buy souvenirs, food, books, etc. They have internet, even though it quite often does not work.

My favorite place to stay in Dar. Right on the water - beautiful location. Lots of shops and things to do. Rooms are adequate and reasonably priced. Breakfast a bit boring, but not a biggie for me. It is a great place to stay for business and leisure. It is near a lot of the embassies. Great place to meet... More

Overall a great location and nice rooms, but they often do not have a manager on site in the evenings. Perhaps to be expected of a smaller operation, but makes it highly inconvenient for travelers with issues on internet connectivity or billing issues after 4pm!

This hotel is a good choice for families or female travellers especially. It is located is a slightly remote part of Dar, which is great if you do not plan to go out at night. There are 4 restaurants, a mall, a currency change office, a jewelry store, an ice cream and a shisa place, a library, many curios and... More

My wife and I stayed at the Slipway hotel from Dec. 29, 2013 to Jan. 2, 2013. We very much enjoyed staying here as it is really the best location in Dar. The "downtown" hotels have nothing around them (except poverty as with the whole city) but at the Slipway there is a whole complex that is fairly modern and... More

I didn't really feel welcome. No 'karibu' element there, and it translated to their grumbling staff, who made no bones about expressing it to me! The owner (or relative) did not smile at me and offered no intention of going the extra mile for me. But gave attention to the caucasian guests who were behind me. They made it obvious.... More
