Liked: Cleanliness

Very standard, perfectly reasonable

I stayed here recently for business, and found the hotel to be a slightly dated design. Hotel staff and porters were exceedingly helpful, but service was very slow in the dining hall (probably as we were a big group). The hotel very kindly opened the breakfast hall early one morning when we were going on a safari day, and we were pleased to see a full range of breakfast was available then. Sadly after getting back from the safari there was no hot water. No wifi availble in the rooms, and the plug in doesnt fit in my laptop. Layout of the hotel rooms was reminiscent of a Penrose Staircase when seeing people walking around and around the stairs searching for their rooms! No complaints at all

Liked: Cleanliness

Good and clean but not close to downtown.

This hotel is good, but rather cold looking for Africa, if you are looking for a European or American standard hotel, you will be satified. The Hotel does not have much charm, but is very modern and clean, it also has a descent dining room (avoid the hamburgers, but everything else was OK). There is not much to do around the hotel, it is far from downtown and you will need a Taxi which can be expensive apx. $50 one way! The pool is nice. This was one of the most expensive hotels that we booked, but it was woth it. If you are in transit to do a safari in Arusha and need a good rest before leaving, it is a nice place to be.

booking problems

The hotel did not have any information of my booking and they wanted me to pay again. The treatment was not at all friendly and I felt be treated like a criminal. There was no way of any amicable solution at all. Forget this hotel and/or check your booking system.

Pleasant, functional, OK

The Hotel is out of town so limits exploration a bit. Clean, neat, quiet and functional. Internet free but only cable connection in the room - Wi Fi in the lobby. Few TV Channels but 4 of them sports. Staff helpful but moderately competent e.g. I order fish fingers and pizza at the bar and asked for the fish fingers first then the pizza but both arrived 20 minutes later with the fish fingers cold and over done but asked Iasked if I needed another beer as the one I was drinking was almost finished. The food could do with some work, breakfast was forgetable. The support taxis (?) outside a bit expensive so do some haggling e.g. Elias, the doorman, said it should be USD 50 to the airport but the taxi/car wanted USD 80. I was there for 1 night so did not do any tours however there was no maps of the area available if you wanted to wander about.
