Good value for money. Clean. Reasonable sized room. Spacious. Friendly staff. Nice breakfast. We would stay again.

Cons:

Its not the hotels fault, but you can hear the local mosque praying at 5am. It wakes you up every morning for 30 minutes.

Soggiorno rivedibile.
Pros:

Gentile la signora all’ingresso. Buona la colazione.

Cons:

Struttura in pessima posizione. Google Maps ti manda da un’altra parte e questo è stato detto al personale, che non sembrava interessato. Vecchia la struttura, camere con forte odore. Bagno indecente.

Great Value
Pros:

Extremely good value for money.. I had a large room with balcony for my 10 day stay including breakfast which was good. Staff exceptional helpful & friendly. Room clean & offered room service each day.

Cons:

Maybe a little tired in places but this is reflected in price. Would certainly stay again as I travel to Arusha twice yearly from Europe.

Would be hard to walk the few metres off main road to hotel due to condition of road.
