Slipway Studios Dar es Salaam

Review by hotel critic

During my latest stay at Slipway Studios, I found the ideal balance between value and comfort. This was my third long visit, as it's hard to resist its central location in the Slipway complex—right by the ocean, with cafes, shops, and restaurants practically at your doorstep. The rooms are basic yet entirely adequate, with a kitchenette, fridge, and flat-screen TV. I particularly appreciated the air conditioning and fast, unlimited Wi-Fi, which are essential in the tropical heat. While luxury amenities may be limited, the practical offerings more than compensate. Free toiletries, ironing facilities, and a sitting area ensure you have everything for a self-catering stay. the staff are attentive, ensuring a pleasant experience without being intrusive. Although the hotel doesn’t have an airport shuttle, arranging a paid shuttle service was straightforward and convenient. For the outdoor-loving family on a budget, it’s an excellent choice. I find Slipway Studios delivers solid value and comfort, making it a smart pick for those wanting to explore the region without breaking the bank. I’ll definitely be back.
