Rien très mauvais hôtel , sale , ça sentait très mauvais notre chambre , en tout cas nous étions déçu de l'endroit mais vu que nous etions là juste pour quelques heures questions d'être un peu proche de l'aéroport pour notre départ Pour un vol de 4h nous avons quitté cet hôtel à minuit tellement l'endroit était nauséabond Je vous déconseille

Pathetic

Did not even consider having breakfast. Should remove this Motel from Booking.com. I am being lenient in my review.

Home away from home in Arusha.

Nice place, quiet, clean, big comfortable rooms and big garden outside the house. Both owners were very kind and helpful. Breakfasts and dinners were great and big. For us even too much 😊. The kids loved the garden and both dogs (kind dogs, like to cuddle). The living room is very nice too. Beds are great, everything is clean and mosquito nets are intact. But we saw no mosquitos anyway. We recommend city tour with Joshua and he can connect you with local people for example to get a cheap transfer to airport or even a safari company.

Disappointing

I arranged an airport pick up, since I had an layover in Daressalam. I landed at 2am, and nobody from the hotel was waiting me, or did they answer my phone calls. I had to take the taxi and pay almost double. Bed was comfortable and bedsheets were clean, but the bathroom was old and the shower didn’t function well. There were cockroaches all over the bathroom. The windows couldn’t be closed properly and it was very loud outside.

friendly staff, and for about Tsh80,000/- was a reasonable price, but facilities detracted.

friendly staff.

The one light in the room was extremely dim. When I mentioned to the reception on leaving on the second morning that the water in the shower was just a trickle, we were told that they needed to turn on the pressure pump outside if anyone wanted a shower!!! The double bed is short for tall patrons. They ran out of food and could not offer a meal on the second night (except scrambled eggs on toast for the meal, the same as each breakfast) - claimed that they had not had the chance to leave the hotel to purchase ingredients.

Pleasant

It was very nice to have an accommodation close to the airport. Mr Nathan was very kind and helpful in navigating us around the area and making us feel safe.

The girl at reception was quite rude and insensitive. The WiFi didn't work well in the rooms. It only worked at the door. We paid for breakfast but didn't get any food!!! Apparently she wasn't aware that we had breakfast included.

Nice stay, just had to pay twice, or actually one night I paid and booked on line and was told I had

Booking charged me $96.00 but when arriving at the hotel, they said the money had not gone through so I paid full price again! No one is willing to try to coreect this???

great for what I needed, cheap, near the airport and clean

Close to airport, air conditioning and clean :) Lovely female receptionist too :) felt safe.

breakfast took a while but there was one lady doing everything. I also arranged a taxi from the airport and he fell asleep in the car so there was no one to meet me and I had to ask customer services to call them - they were very helpful!

good value for short stay near the airport

perfect location from the airport. I booked last minute and it costs me 10,000tsh to go there with a taxi. The room was clean, mosquito net, private bathroom.

the shower stick was not working.

hideous, frightening and filthy

only the proximity to airport

it was one of the worst nights of my life. I only booked to be near airport and have WiFi and Aircon and NEITHER worked. I had a notification that they need to pay the bill when I tried to access the WiFi and the aircon unit only blew out room temperature air and kept shutting off and I had to go outside several times to get it turned on. the power went out repeatedly through the night. It was filthy. the bathroom mat had never been washed. I only went to loo twice and ran out of loo roll with no spare roll in the room. the toilet foods the bathroom each flush. water cold snd shower looked dangerous with exposed wires. neither of the plug sockets in room worked and I couldn’t charge phone. I felt unsafe as a lone female because the worst thing was during the night I was woken to someone banging on my door demanding access as she believed she left her passport behind. the staff were hiding in reception and let her continuously knock and scream at me until I got dressed to let her in and she barged past me to look under the bed (of course it wasn’t there) and the staff only appeared after she stormed out and weakly apologised to me. too late by then and really frightening experience. I decided I would be safer at the airport and left as early as I could and. the taxi they arranged tried to avoid giving my me change (would have been double) so I had to insist. I absolutely would advise this should be shut down as it is not fit for purpose.
