Contemporary design hotel from the Onomo chain with good-value rooms and a central location.
Onomo Hotel Dar es Salaam is a contemporary design hotel from the Onomo chain, located in the city centre of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. The central position places it within reach of the main commercial streets, banks, government offices and the BRT network, and the Kivukoni ferry terminals for Zanzibar are a short drive away. Julius Nyerere International Airport is reached by road in roughly half an hour to an hour depending on traffic. Onomo is a brand of modern, colourful, urban hotels aimed at business travelers and younger guests, and the Dar es Salaam property follows that formula with bright, design-led interiors and an emphasis on good value. Room types include Standard Rooms and Superior Rooms, so the choice is simple and the hotel works best for solo travelers, couples and short business stays. Rates run at roughly 150,000-220,000 TZS (about $60-90) per night, which sits at the lower end of the mid-range category in the city. Listed amenities include a restaurant, wifi and a gym, covering the essentials for a short visit. Dining on site centres on a restaurant serving breakfast and international and local dishes, and the surrounding city centre offers many other eating options at a range of prices. The gym provides basic fitness equipment, and wifi is available throughout the building, which suits visitors who need to work remotely. Service is friendly and informal, with staff able to help with taxis, airport transfers and ferry tickets. The setting is urban and busy during working hours, and the hotel does not offer a pool or beachfront, so leisure travelers looking for resort facilities typically choose the Msasani Peninsula, Kunduchi or Kigamboni instead. For travelers who want a modern, clean and central room at a sensible price, with easy access to transport, the hotel is a practical choice. It also works well as a convenient overnight stop before an early ferry to Zanzibar or a flight to the safari circuit.
