When we arrived they were overbooked. It was 2am and we were forced to share rooms with other group members. They also never cancelled all the reservations so we ended up triple paying in some cases and it's been a lot of work receiving refunds.

The Best Budget Hotel in Dar!
Rungwe Hotel is a great stay in the heart of Dar es Salaam with great staff and great accommodations. From 24hour restaurant, full breakfast buffet every morning, laundry services, daily housekeeping and a bar & nightclub on-site. Rungwe Hotel definitely is pure value for your money. With lovely balcony views (great from 6th floor unit) and in walking distance from Mililani Mall and other local attractions by Bolt or Uber, there is never a problem with directions when telling people where you are at or where you are going as everyone knows Rungwe Hotel (Sinza). *Please note: There are clubs nearby and the possibility of night activity until the early hours heard from your room is a great possibility at this stay. If your are a light sleeper or have trouble falling asleep to pulsating rhythms throughout the night, this may not be the place for you as the location can be a bit active at night. Suggestions for Rungwe Hotel: * Please invest in your TV/Cable channel offerings. As of our last visit, only one channel was offered and typically in Swahili. * Please invest in brewed or craft coffee makers as the hotel is too nice to only offer instant coffee while having 24 hour restaurant services. * Each unit should have a microwave and iron at the very least. Several times we needed to ask the kitchen to warm up a basic food dish (leftover) and/or to iron a garment and is a bit of a hassle when not wanted to have to leave the room to do so depending on the hour of the day.

Experiencing local life in Dar
Clean and secure rooms & facilities. Rooms were cleaned daily. Fantastic staff who were very responsive to our needs and requests. Location is ideal for those that want to experience Dar as the locals do. Relative close proximity to the Mlimani City Mall. Loads of restaurants serving delicious local fare all a 2k - 3k Bajaji ride away. Bubbling night life.

Awful for a restful stay
Awful area to have restful stay. Night clubs in all directions playing music till 6am. Sound thumbs through the building. So nearly no sleep had. Had to move rooms but to no avail. Will be looking for refund but doubt they will be helpful.
