Tanzanian businesspeople seem to be the primary guests at this comfortable hotel, located just around the corner from tourist hotels costing triple or more. Good location for services, walking distance to the center. My room was large, clean, and comfortable. The breakfast buffet looks mediocre, but one can also order other things. For instance, there was only instant coffee on... More

I stayed in this hotel for one night when I had a quick business trip from Dar es Salam. We booked our rooms by phone from the airport in Dar as we didn't have prior reservation and we had no problem at check in. The lady at the reception spoke good English which is not common in Tanzania but I... More

I stayed here before heading out to the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater with Easy Travel who are conveniently located next to the hotel (superb safari). Rooms were clean and AC was appreciated but bathroom quite grubby. The breakfast was the worst breakfast I've ever had. Location is really good. I feel it was too over priced but also get the...

The hotel is conveniently located in the centre of Arusha, which is the best thing that can be said about it. The inclusive breakfast was a disappointment with the free fruit juices having been watered down to the point of tasting like coloured water - in a region so abundant in cheap, sun-ripened fruits what an amazingly mean piece of...

Let me start of by saying i didn't even make it to the hotel due to their lack of customer service. I made reservations online over a month ago. I recently emailed the hotel twice to inquire about my reservation. i received absolutely no response. I called twice only to speak to workers who sounded like they were sleeping. After... More

I stayed in this hotel for one night before heading to the safari. Its a clean, friendly and comfortable hotel. Don't expect any wonders here but its reasonably priced and perfect for transit purposes. It has free wi-fi which is an added advantage for many people. The Precision Air shuttle stops right outside the hotel.

Was in Arusha on a business trip. Hotel is very centrally located, next to the Precison Air office, and for those coming in by flight into Mt. Kilimanjaro Airport, there is a shuttle operated by Precision Air that brings you to the hotel in Arusha for T Sh. 10,000/- (which would cost T Sh 60,000/- minimum by taxi). Rooms are... More

I chose this hotel as I was returning to Arusha for one very important factor - Precision Airlines runs a shuttle service to the airport which is located 3 doors' down from the hotel. However, I was surprised by the hotel itself: large rooms, full bathroom, windows with mosquito nets, decent breakfast with real butter and white/brown bread, charming staff... More

The rooms were nice, big and clean, but they put us on the 3rd floor and we had to hump it up 3 flights of stairs to get to the room. They had free internet, which was great, but the signal wasn't strong enough to surf on the bed. We had to sit by the door in a chair instead.... More
