Nette Begrüßung, Frühstück angeboten trotz Abreise um 3.30. Schöner Garten, ruhig, super Blick auf Mount Meru.
Betten nicht sehr bequem, Laundry 25 Dollar für höchstens 1 Waschmaschine verlangt, nach Stückzahl!, d.h. jeder Slip wurde mit 150 Sh genauso wie 1 Pulli berechnet. Wurde uns erst nach der Wäsche mitgeteilt, obwohl wir mehrfach vorher gefragt hatten. Die Vereinbarung mit dem Frühstück war dem sonstigen Personal dann auch unbekannt.

Location
8.0 / 10.0
There were just few people when I was there (almost the only one if I don't count the staff), so it was very calm and silent. Also, because a lot of rooms were unused, they gave be a better room for the same price, with a fan and mosquito net. I truly appreciated that! Clean place, and near the city center. They also do meals for lunch and dinner, which can be convenient!
Malfunctioning toilet but it was not a big deal.

Not too far from the Arusha city center. Comfy beds and kind staff. They even have laundry facilities.
1. Though they said swimming pool is there it is not usable
2. When I try to check out from the hotel, the receptionist said owner wanted to speak to me regarding the payment. I said I booked this through booking.com and payment also done via booking.com. but owner said they didn't receive the payment from booking.com and didn't let me go and ask for another payment. And he said me to resolve this matter with booking.com. This is the first time it happened to me.
I showed the evidence in booking.com to the receptionist and he believed I was right. After almost 40 minutes arguments, receptionist finally let me go. He realized owner was wrong. There was no any booking.com office in Tanzania and contacting them was not possible.
