Home away from home! The rooms are spacious and comfortable, clean, with very high pressured showers. Such a treat! The food is pretty good, nice variety of coffee drinks in the morning and a great space in the back with a clean swing outside and quiet very private yard.

Staff here was so incredibly warm and friendly. We were greeted with smiles and fresh watermelon with ginger juice. We enjoyed the delicious feast we had for dinner and the sweet and savory hot breakfast we were served too. We would recommend staying here.

The stay has been the perfect fit for me and my friend! The rooms and accommodations were wonderful and the staff was very friendly! Nice breakfast in the morning too. You even get a key the front gate so you can go and come as you please without having to make any arrangements. The location is nice - not too far away from clock tower Also it’s located near a lot of small local restaurants where you can eat some nice food 😄

If you re a fan of posh hotel in town center with expesive restaurant in it - dont bother. But if you like to stay on the edge of the town, see how real Tanzanian village people live. Stay in well equiped room with private toilet and shower, not expensive little bar, owner and staff always there to help you with transport, tours, evening stories about Tanzania and any info you would need - YOU MUST STAY HERE :) Kettle in the room if needed. Private toilets and shower. Separate hot water tank in the room. Dinner on request if running late from tours etc. All the info about tours/ transfers (contact owner Hillary, he will tell you everything before hand). Fire just outside the bar once it gets dark if you like. Secured site. Solar panel electricity for the lights etc in case if there is a power cut. Asante sana Hillary. Dream big ! ..Good luck :)

All hostels in Arusha

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
