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.

Soggiorno ad Arusha
Pros:

Posizione centrale, staff disponibile.

Cons:

Per i prezzi di Arusha mi sarei aspettato qualcosa in più. Per una notte può andare bene. Abbiamo avuto un problema con il wc ma è stato prontamente risolto.
