Location of the rooms and the facilities in the room. They were able to give me accomodation much earlier than I thought

Tremendo
Pros:

Quasi niente

Cons:

Staff per niente cordiale, letti scomodissimi, camera non troppo pulita.
Inoltre abbiamo prenotato tramite la reception un taxi per il giorno seguente per le 6.00 verso l'areoporto e per tre volte hanno provato a rimandare l'orario per le 6.30.
Dopo vari tentativi siamo riusciti a farci confermare il taxi alle 6, ma invece la mattina dopo non avevano informato il transfer sull'orario corretto.
Sconsiglio vivamente.

Top Unterkunft in Arusha
Pros:

Sehr gut gelegenes Hotel in Arusha. Der Clock Tower ist nur ein paar Schritte entfernt, und doch ist es ruhig, weil das Hotel nicht direkt an der Strasse gelegen ist. Der Masai Market ist zu Fuss erreichbar, wie auch der zentrale Markt. Das Hotel hat den Charme einer etwas vergangenen Zeit, und das Personal ist sehr freundlich. Mit der super Lage und dem guten Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis eine sehr gute Wahl.

Cons:

Die Türen zu den Balkonen lassen sich nicht abschliessen, weil der Abschliessmechanismus defekt ist.

Pros:

Location was great

Cons:

Bath tub not working and you have to stand inside the bathe tub to take shower. Why not remove the bath tub and keep shower only.
