Great location to meet our safari the next day. We found it was safe to walk around at night and fairly convenient. The hotel itself was nice. Would stay again if in Nairobi, especially for business travel given the location.

This was an average hotel. The staff are friendly but the rooms are dated. It is in the center of town which is a good location but it's very noisy especially at the front of the hotel. I was woken up many times with motorcycles and loud noises. The breakfast was depressing. I ended up having 2 yogurts cause there was nothing edible. A fine place for a night but there are other options

Great location !!

It was hard to get right temperature of shower water. It was either too hot or cold. Other than that, it was clean and comfortable . Staf were very friendly and helpful. The location was great !! Walking distance to Masai market and museum. Airport shuttle bus stop is right in front of this hotel. I would stay again.

Arusha hotel

Dirty room. Hotel does not care enough to even add a coat of paint. Cracked windows. Filth. Staff expects tips like it is the Sheraton. Restaurant food took one hour to cook! One hour! And the meat brick was apparently cooking for the whole hour. No safe in room. Nice things I can say… the breakfast staff was great. Breakfast OK. The air conditioner and fridge worked well. Pay more money…. Go somewhere better.

Rating overall four as I would recommend as it’s conveniently located, staff was excellent and rooms are clean, but if I go back to Arusha I might look around before booking back here. Stayed in Sept 2023. Location is convenient and there are a few restaurants around. Many other hotels around. Hotel isnt the newest but is very clean and I felt safe. Staff was very friendly and helpful. There is a restaurant in the hotel and breakfast was included, but after seeing what was available we ended up going to the restaurant 2 minutes walk away. There are a LOT of locals on the street trying to sell things in this area - would advise to insist on having your taxi/bus/tour drop off/pick up at the door of the hotel when you arrive and leave with your luggage.

It was a great place to stay the night before our safari started. The property is a dated, But it had everything we needed after a long trip. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel is located near restaurants and other attractions and it’s safe to walk during the day. I would stay here again!

This is an older property that has been around for many years. It is quaint. Breakfast was very limited as compared to other places that we stayed. Best part was the staff. They were super. Very warm and friendly people who made every effort to provide excellent service. Rose, at the front desk was outstanding. I was looking or Tanzania coffe and could not find it. The staff comntacted the vendor which was about 35 minutes away and on the way to the airport. The hotel staff contacted the coffee place and had them meet me on the highway on our way to the airport. OMG and WOW!!! Way above and beyonf service. When the people say "Welcome" they truly mean it.
