Kebby's Hotel

Kebby's Hotel is a locally popular mid-range hotel on New Bagamoyo Road in the Bamaga area of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, within a five-minute drive of the Mwenge Carvers Market and the Makumbusho Village Museum. The Mwenge and Bamaga area is a busy residential and commercial node north-west of the city centre, with shops, bus stops and local restaurants along New Bagamoyo Road. The hotel is roughly 10 km from the Kivukoni waterfront and ferry terminals, and about 15 km from Julius Nyerere International Airport, with traffic the main variable on journey times. Rooms are offered as Standard Rooms, Deluxe Rooms and Suites, with air conditioning and free wifi. Facilities include a restaurant, a bar and on-site parking. The restaurant serves breakfast and local and international dishes, and is known among residents as a place to eat as well as stay, which gives the hotel a lively local atmosphere. The service character is informal and budget-conscious, with a clientele of domestic travellers, business visitors and tourists who want to be near the carvers market and museum rather than in the centre. Rates are in the budget to lower mid-range bracket, roughly 104,000 to 156,000 TZS ($40-60) per night. New Bagamoyo Road is a busy route with heavy traffic at peak hours, so visitors usually allow generous time for the airport or city-centre transfers, and use taxis or ride-hailing vehicles for local trips.
