    Rooftop Sunsets and Safari Vibes

    The spacious rooftop terrace made every evening nice. Staff were always accommodating and the location was ideal for exploring Arusha.

    The rooms were quite small and lacked air circulation. There were moments of noise from nearby bathrooms and the street, which affected the sleep quality at night.

    Absolutely great hotel located just next door to the mountain, a local market, and bus terminal. Cheap, functional room, amicable staff who told us to go and talk to the manager. Fantastic location conveniently close to the bus station with views to Meru mountain...

    Had a fairly nice stay in winter time, glad I've chosen it. I had luxurious and big room on higher floors. The location was stunning and incredible, near to the local marked and coffe shops, and a crossroad where many shuttle buses stop. The rooftop restaurant and roof top bar were also available.

    friendly staff
    great location
    good wifi
    small rooms
    street noise

    The staff were super friendly and always eager to help, especially cherifal. The location is awsome, close to everything like markets and atms. Rooftop area was chill, a great place to hang out after a day of exploring. Plus, the wifi was good. Nice having a kitchen too, really saved me some cash!

    The rooms felt a bit cramped and the street noise made it hard to sleep sometimes. It took ages for the hot water to kick in, so showering in the morning was a chore.

    great atmosphere
    easy access

    perfectly positioned for city strolls and beautiful parks

    Staying here gave me a great base to explore nearby attractions like the Arusha Declaration Museum, just a 15-minute walk away, and I loved the easy access to local dining spots like Taste of Mexico, just around the corner. It's the perfect budget backpackers for meeting fellow travelers and sharing experiences.

    room noise
    unsatisfactory service

    The breakfast was actually quite good, but it seems to soothe their guilt for having no rooms available when I arrived. I expected my room to be pristine, not to mention soundproof, but the noise from the corridors was unbearable. I almost left a nice review, but I just couldn't get past the lack of basic amenities.

    great location

    The backpackers had a clean and freshly painted vibe. The upstairs patio was perfect for enjoying a simple breakfast. Plus, the staff really went out of their way to be helpful. It's also close to the bus station.

    rooftop bar
    hot showers
    friendly staff
    lack of electricity

    The rooftop bar was perfect. Hot showers were a lifesaver after our safari, and the staff were friendly. The location is super convenient for tourists.

    One downside was the room we got initially had no electricity in the sockets, made things pretty tough until we switched rooms.
