Jambo Inn Reviews

The hostel staff was incredible! The paintings on the walls were unforgettable. Thank you!

Food was really good and very polite staff! If you only stay there for 1 or 2 nights its perfect because cheep! But it is not the place for a long holiday xD

very good location, walk distance to everywhere. the lady in the reception is very nice. room is just okay, the one without ac is very hot. good breakfast though.

Jambo Inn provides good value for money for African standards. It is conveniently located in center of Dar Es Salaam, in walking distance of Ferry to Zanzibar (10 min) and Kilimanjaro Express for luxury buses to Moshi/Arusha (5 min) thereby avoiding Ubungo Bus Station.

I really liked this place. If you are the type of person that prefers the Marriot or Best Western... this is the wrong place for you. That beeing sain Im a back packer and a musician. Just stayed at the biggest hotel in the world in Dubai where it was $1000 a night. I still loved Jambo inn. Clean, the staff is helfull and caring. Just dont require a wake up call cuz they ar lax on that. All else was really great, Food is killer their. Cheers Shane www.shanephilips.com

Excellent restaurant!

Some of the rooms have very old and noisy air-conditioners so it's worth checking this when you first get to your room.

Dar s just a city forntasnitnto and from Arusha and Zanzibar. It wasn't much of a fun city to visit, but we were happy to be staying at the Jambo Inn where there was a fine restaurant and great staff to help us. When I arrived earlier than check in they held on to my belongings sonimcould explorer town and let me into an empty room so I could quickly shower and freshen up.

Jambo Inn is a convenient stop over in Dar es Salaam, its near bus ticket offices (but about 20 mins drive from bus station). Electricity was on/off - common to Tanzania - which meant 250 menu items reduced to about 5 items - but servings are big! Staff are helpful, but you have to pay for wi-fi and air conditioning is a must during hot weather which Jambo Inn has..

Very nice staff, although probably no exception for Tanzania. Too bad it was waaay to hot to sleep that particular night, but the shower was good enough to cool off. The fan in my room looked like it was put together with tape, although this was not the case, it was still dangling a lot and making a racket.

I'd thoroughly recommend Jambo Inn to anyone who needs to stay in Dar from a few nights to a few months. Great value for money, and the manager provides excellent customer service. Perhaps the best thing about Jambo Inn is the restaurant on the ground floor, which makes some of the best India food I've had in a while!

Really great place, very friendly and helpful staff
