Good central location

We stayed overnight before our safari and rebooked for 2 nights after the safari. Just a short walk from the Clocktower, the hotel is located centrally with easy access to cafes, restaurants and shops. Not a huge hotel but the rooms are spacious and kept clean and tidy by the really helpful staff.No aircon but we travelled in September so wasn’t too hot. Décor and furniture is a little dated but functional so could do with a refurbishment. Bathroom was clean with new towels daily. In-house restaurant had a good selection of food and the breakfast had the usual continental, cereals and cooked options with tea, coffee and juices.
All in all a very nice 3* stay in a great location.

Great hotel for the price. The property is beautiful, rooms are clean and turned over every day. Staff is very friendly and accommodating. Breakfast is good, although there could be more consistency in the coffee amount and quality. Nice little bar as well, prices are a bit more expensive than out on the town, but definitely reasonable.
My only major complaint is the shower/hot water situation, having stayed in 3 different rooms, it is very inconsistent in how well it works. Sometimes its fine, other times its not. The most recent room I stayed in had plenty of hot water, but when showering, you could only get blisteringly hot or cold at once, never a warm blend. However, hot water issues are common even at the more expensive hotels in Arusha, so its expected.
Location is safe and very convenient, right by the clock tower and the museum. I will definitely stay here again next time I am in Arusha

Very basic, big plus for large rooms, lots of hot water, really nice garden - and location (very near the Clock Tower, most hotels here are much more expensive) and price. No thrills, but definitely worth the money. We have stayed here several times and will be back. Ask for room with balcony facing the garden.

This was a very conveniently located, safe environment. The breakfast buffet was adequate, but we didn't eat any other meals there. The room and bed were comfortable; great hot water in the shower. We were there in the cooler months, so things were fine, but I'm not sure how comfortable it would be in the hot months as there was no AC in the room, but there is a fan. What they really lack is a way to enjoy their outdoor garden area. There were no seats outside in the grass. Maybe a park bench, some tables and chairs placed around the property so you could sit outside on a nice day and enjoy the fresh air would be a big improvement. I would certainly stay here again, but just set your expectations properly.
