A Relaxing Oasis After A Long Day of Travel
Pros:

McElly's is a lovely hotel  located in downtown  Arusha within walking distance from the Central Bus Terminal.  My one night stay there was very relaxing after a long trip.  The bed was very comfortable and the fourth floor room nice and spacious. Juliet (I think that was her name), the receptionist, was friendly and efficient at getting me checked in quickly and without a problem.
I had my lunch and dinner at the hotel restaurant and was very pleased with my chicken sandwich and vegetable curry.
Overall, I was very happy with my experience at McElly's Hotel and would definitely return again.

Cons:

Nothing

Pros:

Perfect place for a short, budget stay. We spent one night there. The room was very clean, but the shower water was boiling hot and uncontrollable. The breakfast was simple but fantastic, though! The best we had during our entire stay in Arusha.

Cons:

Breakfasts

Hyvä hinta-laatu suhde lyhyeen vierailuun
Pros:

Hinta-laatu suhde oli oikein hyvä lyhyelle parin yön vierailulle. Sijainti toimi mukavasti, kun olimme ihan keskustassa.

Cons:
