Safe & Convenient downtown location for travel to Arusha and Zanzibar. Within walking distance of amenities. Very kind and accommodating manager & staff.

The stay was characterised by a nice welcome at the reception. The room is clean but aircon, TV and water heater were not working. The room was extra hot and no bottle of water is offered, neither coffee/tea making utensils. What affected me most are the mosquitoes, I couldn't sleep. While the infrastructure is good, management is doing little to keep the standard. The breakfast is generally not good for a 3 star hotel.

This is a safe, reliable and helpful place to stay close to the town centre. I always stay here. It’s good value.

Decent hotel as expected from Lonely Planets description. Friendly staff, rooms clean and basic. You have a fan and AC which is a plus. Hot water was quite reliable. Standard good breakfast.

I wanted to move to another hotel bc it is a dorm shared room hotel. Since no one was there with COVID, the owner accommodated me to my own room. It is basic and inexpensive for a night transit.

Our stay in the Executive 2 bedroom apartment at Rainbow hotel was absolutely TERRIBLE . It was filthy dirty with bad odor and dust all over the place. The fridge had mold and very smelly. The concierge attendant who accompanied us upstairs was in shock and quickly went to get a broom to sweep the floor and dust off the tables . The windows weren’t able to open for fresh air. There were no toilet paper. The bedsheets were dirty and smelly. There were stains all over the walls. It was really disappointing. The AC weren’t working the front desk lady had to come up with the remote to turn them on. Thank god We only stayed there for one night since we were in transit after a long road trip from Mombasa Kenya. I would NOT recommend this hotel to anyone.

Very very basic hotel, 2/5 star. Big room, clean sheets. Worn out washroom.

AWESOME PLACE TO STAY AT A BARGAIN PRICE I stayed here 5 different times in on my five-week holiday to Tanzania, each time in a different room. All of them were clean and well kept, the wi-fi worked great and the hot water was better than even the more expensive places I’ve stayed at. Located within easy walking distance to the Zanzibar Ferry, Kivukoni BRT Bus Terminal and three of the best restaurants for barbequed chicken in all of Tanzania. But the best thing about the Rainbow Hotel is the Service. The manager was great for information and when he didn’t have the answers, he would find out for me. He set up my Covid test then had one of his employee’s walk me to the three different places I needed to go to have the sample taken. Thank You Mahmedhasim I would not have been able to get it done before my flight without your help!

Rainbow hotel was an excellent place to stay for affordability in the heart of the cbd. Easy walk to colonial sights; you'll need a taxi or uber to Masaki. Manager at front desk extremely capable and always available to help; friendly bell staff. Clean room, powerful AC, nice breakfast.

It’s close to the ferry to Zanzibar. The rooms are nice, and is close to shops and restaurants.

It was generally good, quite place in the evening and good breakfast and friendly personnel. We enjoyed staying at Rainbow Hotel.

Very nice hotel in convenient and safe central neighborhood (within walking distance to the Zanzibar ferry though the hotel also offers free van transfer to the pier). As a budget option for a private room, I would definitely stay again.

The property is old but kept clean. Breakfast could be better. The room was okay
