"The hotel was pleasant. Very clean and the staff were helpful - I was moved to a sea-facing room when I requested it. I would recommend this hotel to others who are visiting Oyster Bay in Dar es Salaam. The one issue I encountered was finding a working contact email address, which I require in order to request an invoice of my stay there. Otherwise, really great hospitality."
