3-Star Hotels in Arusha

A short trip to Arusha. Chose this place for its price and location.

My friend and me stayed here for four nights after our safari ended in Arusha. Our room is spacious with many amenities available such as table/chairs and a TV. There are also three power sockets, which is always appreciated. There were no wardrobe and fridge but some hooks were available for hanging clothes. Hot water is available in the bathroom although the water pressure could be stronger. Our shower area tends to flood due to bad drainage, and I even dropped my clothes into the water once. The room is clean but a little dim at night. Windows have anti-bug screens and curtains, which are essential to block the sun’s intensity in the morning. Wifi works like a charm. The front reception counter is usually empty as the hotel staff tends to congregate in the kitchen instead. They were quite helpful and lent me a laptop to do some file transfers between my various devices when asked. The daily breakfast provided tasted average. The location is a little far from town and we needed to engage a driver from Bolt app for most day activities. There are no grocery stores nearby but it’s possible to buy some mineral water from the kitchen staff. This hotel is near to a mosque so it’s periodically noisy in the morning and evening. It is also near to the main road so we will hear loud traffic every now and then. That said, I was able to sleep relatively well every night. The rate here is pretty cheap for a twin room so I felt this stay was quite value for money.

Отель у местных считается хорошим, но по мне, отель как отель. Персонал приветивый, но ужин жене не понравился. За меньшие деньги на обратном пути останавливались в отеле и он нам показался значительно лучше. Я заметил, что цена в Танзании не всегда отражает статус и сервис. За разные деньги можно получить одинаковые удобства.

Everybody was very helpful. The rooms were comfortable and clean. We stayed the night before our safari and we’ve booked another night at the end of it. Thank you!

Western breakfast, a variety of options, I certainly choose the most expensive full english breakfast. Sleeping single room, but the bed is really big. The location is super good. On the hillside, there is a bar, a lounge chair, sitting on the sofa and blowing a small wind. It’s really a British style. I really don’t want to go.

Very lovely service.

Restaurant is very good for a variety of food options and beers. Room is dated and can be noisy (road, noisy bar on the weekend) but good for a short stay before safari. A few food options around / cafes as well as convenience stores and currency exchange. The exchange is much better in Tanzania than Kenya but it seemed harder to pay with a bank card in Tanzania.

First of all, there is no AC in the rooms. This was one of the main reasons why we booked the room and when we got here we found out no rooms had AC. And despite not being far from the clock tower, you have to go through at least 500m in a very uneven unpaved road to get to the place. Also, if you choose to pay at the property, you’ll have to pay cash, there’a no credit card maxhine. The place and rooms are clean and there’s breakfast. You’re getting what you’re paying for, I was with a group and this was the place they decided to stay, if I were staying by myself I wouldn’t choose it and certainly wouldn’t stay here again.
