The first time I stayed at JB Belmont ( March 2012) I was impressed by everything, except the fact that it has only one lift. The room was spacious, spotlessly clean, and had all the little amenities I am fussy about. The conference we held there went well, despite the extremely slow but very friendly staff working on preparing for... More

I stayed here on a business trip for one night. The suite was very spacious which was good for working from the room. The wifi connection was also fast and stable. The bathroom looked a bit tired with a hole in the tiles above the mirror where I guess there used to be a light fitting. The shower was massive... More

I was in JB Belmont Hotel in November 2012 and what do I say, one this a great investment and having been in other establishments of this magnitude, JB can do much better. A few improvements are required here and there. I enjoyed the service and the staff are fairly friendly, though a lot needs to be done in terms... More

Wow, where do I start? I stayed at JB Belmont for a week in Dec 2012. Never again! Don't get me wrong, if you only need a place to spend the night in DAR, why not, but don't stay here for more than one night. - The hotel in in the middle of city center. Don't expect to be able... More

Like previous reviewers there were some things that were good. The staff are friendly and do their best to help went asked. Also the rooms are a good size. However the hotel is pretty shabby. A number of things are broken and haven't been repaired and generally the place needs a re-vamp and in some places a more thorough clean.... More

After spending a couple of weeks in Zanzibar, on our last night before flying home we stayed at this hotel. The staff was very friendly to us and we felt very welcomed. Our room was incredibly spacious and very well made. We had dinner in the restaurant and my friend and I agreed that the mashed potatoes and vegetables were... More

Stayed 8 nights at this establishment and had a mixed bag of service quality ranging from very poor to exceptionally excellent. The listing states that this hotel has 2 restaurants, but upon arrival only 1 of the 2 was ever open. The one that was open had a very nice menu, but 80% of the time you could not order... More

I battled to settle on a rating so I guess a 1.5 just about sums it up. There are a number of good things about the hotel - some of the staff were friendly, the rooms are large and no problems with cleanliness and free wi-fi, but then the problems start. The staff in many cases are simply very poor... More

Each room is a small apartment making them quite spacious. Major issues are the lack of a room safe, the flooding bathroom and the single elevator. If you spend a few days here then the buffet dinner became quite repetitive.
