It was our second time at the Raha Leo Inn in less than a week. This time we had a room that the shower did not have hot water, and just a little water, the young man forgot to book our taxi driver and lies about it after. But the young lady (manager) took care of everything after. For the price and for an over night it is very good.

No need for a fancy hotel, Raha Leo Inn is perfect

The workers at the hotel were extremely helpful. Location in Arusha could not have been better, right next to the town's center, museums and football pitch. Beautiful courtyard setup and excellent free breakfast. The rooms themselves were great, nice bathroom and comfy beds. If I return to Arusha I will be staying here again.

Repeat stay!

Repeat stay (same review). Great value in the center of Arusha. It's a quiet, peaceful, and welcoming place to stay within easy walking distance of the bus terminal. My room was a little small, but it was very clean and they offer a daily cleaning service if you want it. Mosquito net, hot water, good security, standard breakfast included, and friendly, helpful staff! Look no further if you need a solid budget option in Arusha!

My First Choice in Arusha

An excellent stay in a very quiet Oasis ,yet near to everything.Super friendly staff who anticipated my needs. Sure the rooms aren't big and the bathroom is positively minute but it's still a 10/10 for me. Given what you pay. So many moaners expect 5 star for 2 star prices. Get real

Perfect but small, low-cost safari base.

Raha Leo is the perfect location for short stays before and after a safari. It’s well located within Arusha. The rooms are small but clean and the staff are really friendly and helpful. The breakfast consists of fruit, coffee/tea and eggs of your choice. In summary the stay is good value at just over $20 per night (at the time of staying). I would definitely stay here again when in Arusha.

Located a 2 min walk from the local street market in town. Staff were all very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was pretty standard for Tanzania (eggs, toast and fruit). The room really wasn't very nice and needs a desperate upgrade. Mosquito net wasnt fitted properly and didnt cover the bed. Terrible sewer smell coming from the bathroom, uncomfortable mattress. We booked here as it was a reasonable price for the town centre, but in hindsight Arusha itself isnt very nice so we would stay further out in a different hotel.

The room was clean. Be cautious that the room does not have an AC and the window will let in mosquitoes. However, we were here for one night and it was good for the price. Breakfast was a very small portion but not bad. The staff could have been more friendly and helpful.

Quiet, family run guesthouse in a handy position in Arusha. Staff are kind and helpful (especially the new receptionist!) I slept very well and if you like they can cook you a meal to save you going out. Asante Sana!
