The hotel is very convenient for the airport and is a good option if you just want a bed for the night. Rooms are simple but clean. Staff were helpful with my luggage as there wasn’t an elevator. Free transport to and from the airport was excellent.

So convenient to and from the airport. Not fancy but more than adequate for travelers looking for a good value and pleasant experience. I stayed extra days due to business in Dar before departure to Mbeya. Friendly and helpful staff. Shopping for essentials nearby as well as English language church on Sunday. I travel to TZ every year and I will stay at this Hotel from now on. Asante sana Transit Motel Suites!
