The Rainbow Hotel is located at 1900 Morogoro Road, one of Dar es Salaam's main thoroughfares, near the city center and the historic Kisutu district. The establishment is not star-rated. Its position on Morogoro Road makes it easily accessible by local public transport (daladalas) as well as by taxi or via the Bolt app, which has a strong presence in the city.

Why stay here

We selected this establishment for its central location in Dar es Salaam and the variety of its accommodation configurations, ranging from simple rooms to apartments that can accommodate up to four adults. It suits transit travelers, business professionals, families and small groups looking for a convenient base in the city. The availability of self-contained apartments makes it a solid option for multi-night stays requiring greater independence.

The situation on Morogoro Road is a functional asset: the daladala network, shops, currency exchange offices and several restaurants are within walking distance or a few minutes' travel, making daily life easier to organize.

Atmosphere

The hotel sits in a vibrant urban environment, typical of this central axis of Dar es Salaam. The surrounding neighborhood blends local commerce, small dining establishments and significant traffic flow. The property offers a range of accommodations from simple to more spacious, without particular resort or boutique positioning.

The Rainbow Hotel offers several configurations: single rooms (16 units), standard double rooms that can accommodate one or two people (24 units), deluxe double and twin rooms (16 units each), as well as self-contained apartments with 1 or 2 bedrooms, the latter accommodating up to 4 adults and 2 children.
