The building is nice, but the service depends on the person cleaning the room, also TV has 3channel but sometimes theyre 5πŸ˜„. Food from the restaurant sometimes can be okay, cold or burned depends on how lucky you are. I advise to improve the service overall. Thank you

I dont know about the hotel but I can definitely talk about their gym. For almost $150 a month its one of the most expensive gyms in Dar, yet the quality of the machines and variety is totally horrible, all their bars are not Olympic standard bars, very low quality machines, cramped space if there is like just 10 people on the weight room, its already crowded. The staff are nice and thats about it!

Nothing was supposed to happen this way!!After an amazing trip around the Tanzanian coast, my man and I were getting back home.Unfortunately, we lost our keys and couldnt get in while the time was passing and the night starting...Since we couldnt get in, we had to find an alternative and that is when we called the Colosseum hotel.Within 10 minutes everything was ready and when we arrived the staff was so welcoming that we instantly felt at home.The kind gesture made us forget about the trouble we encountered.Thank you Colosseum team for the hospitable service.We let you, readers, find out by yourself how amazing is the breakfast!M & A

My family and I stayed at colosseum for two nights earlier this week. The hotel is pretty decent. The service was good too. We enjoyed their buffet breakfast thoroughly, they had a good variety of sweets and savouries to choose from. They also served fresh fruit daily.The staff were friendly and welcoming and the rooms were well kept and clean.What I wasnt impressed with (and Im aware this is very petty) is their bathroom floor plan, where by their sink is right behind the door. For a couple sharing, it can be quite inconveniencing, doing your makeup or blow drying your hair while your spouse needs to get in and out.Another thing, is their sink design, its flat bottomed which makes it kinda unpleasant when the dirt in the sink keeps floating and you have to direct it to the drain using water because it doesnt have a natural slope πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈAnd the third thing was how low their switches were located. Being there with children meant we were constantly singing the dont play with the switches song because they were so easily accessible to them.Otherwise honestly, as a solo traveller or a couple its a decent hotel. They have a nice pool for both adults and kids. And a gym and spa facility too.Thank you Colosseum for hosting us

Arrived very early in the day and they gave us our room at 10am. Great staff, particularily the front desk and housekeeping. All staff very pleasant and seemed genuinely happy. Decent food from the menu, included buffet breakfast was a little weak, but tasty. Complete and busy gym on property, pool was warm and clean. Room was spacious and spotless. Wifi could be more consistent. Would come back without hesitation. Great value.

Best gym in Dar but in dire need of new towels. Reception staff can be a bit rude at times but the trainers are great. Theyre supper supportive and energetic. Classes can become too packed. They need more space or to limit participants.

Review β„–34

Do not accept Room 106! Its located directly opposite to noisy aircon units from the adjacent gym. For a 4 star hotel, you get one, yes, just one towel in the bathroom. Was ankle deep in water in the shower cubicle within a minute thanks to poor drainage. While clean, the bed linen is way past its use by date. Verdict: You can get much better in Dar es Salaam at that price!

Review β„–40

For the price I paid (150 USD) I was heavily disappointed. All surfaces are hard so there is a continuous noise going on. The rooms are spacious but not well appointed. Very limited choice of TV channels, a safe was missing. Since there are no curtains but shutters, the room cannot be made fully dark. Because of the hard surfaces everywhere, the tip-toeing of high heels can be heard on all floors. Bathrooms are reasonable, but shower was not kept clean and was therefore slippery.Finally, breakfast buffet is set up in the corridor opposite the lift.Not a nice place, I will not stay again.

Nice and clean hotel in dar-es-salaam. I really appreciate the fact that people are really welcoming and helpful. It gets an additional star from me for these reason. the rooms are clean and spacy. they just a bit noisy during the night. Since for me is not a problem I havent asked to change room but I was told I could have changed the room if anything was wrong.The restaurant cafe looks good. the dishes are really fulfilled maybe too much for me. I have left lots of food in the dish but maybe that is a good thing for really hungry people.The gym is cool and fully equipped theres a personal trainer that gives free classes to the hotel guests. There are different kind of courses exercise during the afternoon and evening. everyday is full of different activities and followed by a trainer.

It has been long since i was in such close proximity to outer heaven. jet lag has made the weary indifferent, and the commotion today was reason to enjoy was peace was available until that ran out of the lobby with my dignity. my english may have been disregarded, and the food was at least edible. The gym was closed and i ran out of the place with pride for my workout and development to be continued, on the go all the way back to mother base.

Rating the Gym: Very good equipment, nice swimming pool. The staff is very friendly. Sauna and steam bath are great and the environment is very clean. On the expensive side for daily and monthly packages but its probably the best gym in Masaki.

The location is not bad & its nice that Rhapsodys restaurant is just next to the lobby. But the stench in the room was not cool. Smelled mouldy & I suspect its due to the walls being lined with carpets that have over time become stale with the high humidity.

Colosseum Hotel and Fitness Club I would give the hotel a 1 however the staff at hotel who are incredibly friendly and helpful will give it a 2/5 . The hotel rooms are not well sound proof . You can hear everything happening in the passage . The owners of the hotel need to realise the overall maintenance of the rooms needs to be resolved . Beds are not the most comfortable. The sadest thing is there are no block out curtains so expect to be woken up at sunrise when the light comes through .

Review β„–67

I recently traveled to Dar es Salaam for an extended work period. Due to unexpected extensions in my stay, I had to stay at three different hotels during my time there: Double Tree by Hilton, Colosseum Hotel, and Sea Cliff (in that order).There are pros and cons to this hotel, and I will cover the pros first. Colosseums location was very convenient, as it is located close to a lot of the businesses in the area, and the staff are very friendly. The daily breakfast buffet was great as well. Unlike the other hotels I stayed in, Colosseum offered takeaway items like breakfast snack bars, which was beneficial because I often had to rush to work in the morning. In terms of food options at the hotels restaurant, I found it to be a bit more expensive than other hotels. They also do not have a kids menu.As great as the customer service was, the facility just lacks needed amenities and quality for guests. The wireless internet did not work at all. The IT staff provided me with an ethernet cord to connect to the internet, but the connection was still slow and unreliable during my stay. Because I was in Dar es Salaam for business, this made it challenging to work in my room. The bathroom in my room smelled of sewage throughout the duration of my stay for some reason.While Colosseum Hotel is well-suited to appease to the budget-conscious traveler with a planned short stay in the area. For business travel or extended stays, I recommend trying a different hotel in the city for a more comfortable stay.
