The hotel is located in a safe area, offering peace of mind for business guests. the basic triple room with shared bathroom provides a comfortable stay, with clean linen, a comfortable mattress, and a hot shower. the friendly staff and the presence of cats add to the welcoming atmosphere. the outdoor area with a big screen and the nice bar are perfect for socializing and enjoying the World Cup or other sports games.
There may be a lack of wall hooks in the dormitory, which can be inconvenient in terms of storage.

I recently stayed at The Slow Leopard for a few nights and I couldn't recommend this hotel more. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, and the newly upgraded rooms were comfortable and clean. The breakfast included delicious food and coffee, and the bar area had a great atmosphere with live music on Thursday evenings. The location, although a bit far from the city center, was in a nice and calm area.
Couldn't recommend this hotel more.

Loved the chill terrace for work, friendly staff with great advice, and live music events. Best value for money in the city. Personally, my favorite place.
Oh joy, the noise from the street and the bar at night. And let's not forget the tiny private room.

The location was perfect, with everything we needed just a stone's throw away. The staff were incredibly friendly, making us feel safe and well taken care of. The communal area was stunning, providing the perfect opportunity to meet fellow travelers.

We had a delightful stay at Slow Leopard! The communal dorms were spacious and clean, and the beautiful courtyard provided a great place to socialize with other guests. The staff went above and beyond to ensure our safety and comfort, even helping us with organizing our bus trip to the next city. The location was perfect, and the air conditioning in the rooms was a welcome luxury. we highly recommend Slow Leopard for a pleasant stay in Dar es Salaam. Despite some minor issues with dirty bedsheets and a lack of clear instructions, the positives far outweighed the negatives. We would definitely stay here again. we had a wonderful experience and would recommend this place.

It's a clean and welcoming place with delicious food at the restaurant. the breakfast options of eggs or granola were delightful, and the showers were the best I experienced in Tanzania. the location in the Masaki neighborhood is perfect for travelers passing through, with easy access to banks, hotels, and supermarkets. the bar is a popular hangout spot for expats, and the staff is always ready to help. The amenities offered are top-notch, and I highly recommend this place for backpackers and solo travelers. Cons: Nothing to be said. 😊.
