Pros:

Super Hotel in bester Lage an der Innenstadt. Zimmer sind sauber und mit allem nötigen ausgestattet, inklusive gute Mückennetze über den Betten. Das Restaurant bietet authentische Küche zu billigen Preisen an. Das beste ist jedoch die Freundlichkeit der Mitarbeiter. Insbesondere die Dame an der Rezeption hat uns enorm geholfen, als unser gebuchter Bus nach Moshi nicht gekommen ist. Sie hat für uns viel telefoniert und organisiert, das war wirklich mehr als hilfreich!!!

アルーシャからのバスのトラブルで、着いたのが9時過ぎ。周りのお店がやっていない中、帰り支度をしていた、厨房のスタッフが、私のためだけにお料理を作ってくれました。そしてそれを可能にする人望を持った美しいレセプションスタッフにも感謝!

Cons:

特にありません

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:
