Very friendly and courteous staff who made us feel welcome. The room was conspicuously clean, had adequate and effective cooling facilities. The beddings were clean and smelled so. The resident restaurant cooked delicious meals too. I'd recommend the Transit bed and breakfast to anyone coming to Dar es Salaam

This was a great transit hotel experience. Everything went perfectly from the airport transportation back and forth and the great welcome and service. All the staff are well trained. The food at their cafe was very good and the service excellent. My room was very quiet with a great shower and AC. I highly recommend travelers to stay here. Well worth the reasonable price.

Very good service and a perfectly nice motel as our overnight stay before our flight. Our room was pretty clean and quiet despite being in a noise part of town. There was some sand on the floor and the bathroom had the smell from outside but we felt comfortable and it was exactly what we paid for and expected. The staff were very kind and helpful, especially Tatu who set up a table for us outside for dinner. She also organised an airport transfer for us in the morning which made things completely stress free!

Very friendly, helpful staff and clean facilities. There is a lot of construction going on around the airport making transportation challenging. But the staff at this motel provide airport transportation that makes up for it. I recommend this as a comfortable place if you have a layover at the Dar airport.

Ok stay

This hotel is a good option if you need a hotel close to the airport. Rooms are small but well kept. Staff is very nice. You get what you pay for. The hotel name is confusing on both Hotels.com and google maps. Owner should clarify. Area and access are very poor. Shuttle is good.

Great location, friendly staff with transportation to and from Julius Nyrere Airport. I stay at Transit Hotel Airport during my annual travel to Tanzania which requires regional flights from the Airport. Reliable driver arranged by the Motel. During my last stay the Motel was under renovation and no longer had in-house food preparation with LONG waits for a meal. Hopefully this will be better in 2024! A great value and pleasant experience.

Really good experience

The stay at Transit Motel Airport did go over our expectations! The staff was so friendly, helpful and kind. The rooms was bigger then we thought they would be. Also we ended up using their driver to the airport, because our Uber did not show up in time. Therefor the driver woke up in the middle of the night, without anything pre scheduled. The motel taxi was also cheaper then Uber. A big thank you to the staff for taking such good care of us, and making our stay great!

Gets the job done

We booked a night at the Transit Motel Airport to cool our heels for several hours before an 11pm flight. Pros - very good airlport shuttle service, pleasant staff, clean room. Cons - poor neighborhood, small room, shower looked inadequate, no soap in bathroom. I see that they seem to have a multi-night minimum stay now, which makes absolutely no sense. An airport hotel is almost by definition an overnight stay, and we wouldn't have wanted to stay more than 1 night there at most.

Average

Nothing really interesting to mention here but the dishonesty of its shuttle driver which told us a higher price than we were told in the reception. The room is very basic but enough for a night or two, the strength of this hotel is how near the airport it is which is much appreciated considering most of the Main Street that leads you to the airport is under construction leading to longer times to get to the airport if you decide to stay at the city centre
