I really enjoyed my stay at Aura Suites. The rooms were clean, modern, and comfortable, and the staff was very welcoming. A special thank you to Leah Pascal, who made sure we had our 2-bedroom suite clean and secured. That extra care made our stay smooth and stress-free. I’d definitely recommend Aura Suites for anyone visiting Dar es Salaam

Clean cute small flat, very central to transport anywhere you are going. Staff and host were just great people, really attentive. All essentials were in the flat and it's a very safe and peaceful area with shops in walking distance. Will definitely be calling again and again as it's just a great place to stay. No negatives, in my opinion.

    Absolute bargain in Dar-es-Salaam, best deal you can find by far. Nothing fancy but for 15$ all the basics are here, it’s very clean, AC works just fine, a nice shower with hot water, location is very central, the wifi is fast like in Europe, it’s safe and the staff is doing the job. That’s all but for such a cheap price in the heart of Dar there is no point paying more to sleep.

    The accommodation was as described (budget). The location was ideal for airport transit (10-15 min drive). The staff was friendly and helpful. The facilities were basic, but clean. The airport pick-up/drop-off worked as promised. Flexibility with check-in/out times. I am a returning guest.
