位置极好的舒适酒店
Pros:

位置不能再好了，逛街购物吃饭极其方便。房间很大，设施不错，有舒适的阳台。酒店环境优美，坐落在热带花园里，靠这侧的房间更佳，因为阳台正对花园。服务很棒，我们safari时行李免费寄存在酒店，而且也免费帮我的食物放在冰箱里。早餐比较简单，但味道不错。

Cons:

WiFi较慢

Cons:

Ninguna de las cajas de seguridad de ninguna habitación funcionaba. Luego de mucho rato trajeron una, que obviamente era fácil de llevársela con todo lo de adentro. Si no tienen caja de seguridad por favor no lo pongan en la descripción

Please fix this issue with the hot water.
Pros:

Every time I am in Arusha I stay at this hotel. Perfect location. Nice staff and management. Good restaurant. Rooms are clean and spacious. Some rooms have problem with the hot water.

Cons:

Last time we were in room 102. There was not hot water. We informed the front desk guy. He came and switched on something but hot water never came. After a long day in theat and dust a normal shower and hot water is a must.

Inmejorable situación, excelente relación calidad precio.
Pros:

Hotel local muy céntrico,
camas cómodas y hab limpias,
a un paso de todas las atracciones de la ciudad ( torre del reloj, mercado masai, restaurantes).
Las tarifas de las comidas y bebidas exageradamente económicas, no recuerdo el.precio de la cerveza pero es la más barata que he encontrado en toda Tanzania.
La cocina está especializada en comida hindú, pero también tienen platos internacionales y comida rápida tipo pizza.
Tienen un jardín precioso.
Sin dudar volveremos.

Cons:

Es un hotel antiguo y local, al entrar percibes un olor característico del lugar aunque a las pocas horas ya no lo notábamos, no hay aire acondicionado en la habitación pero tienen ventilador, nosotros no lo echamos de menos.
