We stayed at Alexander's Hotel during December of 2023. Quite simply the stay was highly enjoyable, as the hotel is excellent.

Read moreA really fantastic, most special place. Gordon and his team‘s hospitality is outstanding, always friendly and the serice is so personal. Gordon even greeted us personally when we arrived from our international flight ar 6am and kindly offered us a later breakfast, which we truly appreciated. When I asked for a bandaid he brought a whole package for me from the supermarket.

While we usually go to different places, we had dinner there twice, it was too good. The area around is very cool and absolutely safe. Can‘t imagine there is a better hotel in Dar!...
