Our room was very clean and great size for a short stay. The bed was very comfortable and the room was very homely. The staff here were amazing, so welcoming and even cleaned our shoes after a muddy walk. We would recommend the dinner as it was delicious local food and breakfast was also a great bonus. I couldn’t recommend it any more - we will stay here again on our next trip to Arusha.

I have stayed here for 6 nights before and after the safari. This place is new and clean. The staff is nice and responsive. It has roof top which I saw new year firework. It is convenient to go to supermarket. I am so surprised not many people come to stay here. Bolt is better than Uber in Tanzania.

The staff were amazing, very welcoming, and they did everything to make our stay great. I liked their swahili food it was very delicious. The environment is more decorated with African Colours. I highly recommend it for a night stay in Arusha.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
