In short. Many reviews mentioned the hotel as clean, but some indicated issues, such as broken showers.
Janice, CA · Solo8.0
Mon 19 Oct + This is a budget hotel about 2 kilometers from the center of Arusha. However, it it is clean, secure and comfortable. One afternoon there were monkeys playing in the trees outside the hotel and coming onto the balcony. During the day you can walk around... − The hotel is on a side "road" that is very rough and unpaved so be warned if you are driving a car. Not much the hotel can do about that. After dark you will need a flashlight/torch to get back to...
Terry, NZ · Solo8.0
Wed 14 Oct In the scheme of things average hotel with super staff.. + The staff made the place in my mind. Always cheerful and so helpful. − Nil
Michelle, AU · Solo8.0
Mon 12 Oct Twice stayed + Very quiet, lovely staff, good value for clean rooms. They stored our suitcase for us while we went on safari for 3 days. They organised transfer to airport at 4am and he was on time. You can eat there and buy drinks but only local food. Breakfast is... − Not alot around the area except local stalls. We did find Wildebeest Cafe (15min walk) on main road. Had burgers and pizza. Very nice.

Wed 19 Aug + Fine for transit for overnight- clean, comfy, food OK (breakfast and dinner). − Cramped bathroom with shower-everything gets wet. Not close to central Arusha- but not an issue for us.
