CBD has been one of my main Hotel Spots whenever my fiance and I visit Dar Es Salaam. The food is great and the staffs are wonderful. Flying from Houston, Texas to Tanzania one place I spent more time before going to Zanzibar or South Africa or Kenya is CBD in Dar Es Salaam. I stayed in this hotel 3 different times in one month during my one month vacation away from America. very clean and great hospitality. House keepers are the best. I highly recommend it for anyone travelling to Dar Es Salaam. I love CBD and will always stay here when I visit Dar Es Salaam again. And again.

I highly recommend this hotel CBD to anyone coming to Da Es Salaam. From Houston, Texas CBD was my home for like almost a week. Stayed here before taking a trip to Dubai and came back stayed at CBD again. The staff are the best and the restaurant is great and good food. Very clean hotel.. The hotel is very kool and not too much traffic and you get to have a good quality private time at the patios. Gonna stay here 3 different times this month of February .. CBD is gonna be my main spot when I visit Tanzania / Da Es Salaam
