Fodor's Expert Review Protea Hotel Dar es Salaam Courtyard

​Seaview Ocean Rd., Dar es Salaam, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania

With traditional Arabic wooden balconies, glass-stained windows, and a lush courtyard, this welcoming hotel is the perfect place to escape the hustle and bustle of the city. Rooms, which all face inward toward a delightful courtyard that resembles an Arabian fairy-tale at night, have many of the amenities of a five-star hotel—air-conditioning, plush bedding, Wi-Fi, and traditional four-poster beds.  

PROS

  • beautiful architecture and more intimate than the larger chain hotels
  • a quiet, leafy courtyard away from the busy street
  • general manager who is attentive to your every need

CONS

  • food can be a bit hit and miss and is buffet style
  • no views outside
  • pool is central and not very private
