Haradali's Home, hotel in Arusha

Situated just 10 km from Uhuru monument, Haradali's Home features accommodation in Arusha with access to an outdoor swimming pool, a garden, as well as full-day security.

The location is well maintained and has a beautiful garden with many banana trees and other plants and herbs that are also used in the kitchen. The staff was very friendly, especially Jay, who was very sweet and for whom nothing was too much. She gave us a spontaneous tour around the property, provided breakfast every day and helped with dinner, arranged a tuktuk, did some laundry, nothing was too much for her. Our room was spacious, with a large walk-in shower and a separate toilet. Dinner in the evening was shared with the other guests and consisted of soup as a starter, a few main dishes and fruit for dessert. There was not much variety; 2 out of 3 evenings we had the same vegetarian menu, but it was all quite tasty. We found it a plus to meet other guests during dinner and exchange experiences.

Mambo Hideaway, hotel in Arusha

Mambo Hideaway, a property with a bar, is situated in Arusha, 7.5 km from Old German Boma, 8 km from Uhuru monument, as well as 9.2 km from Njiro Complex.

One of the best places I stayed in Arusha and I have been there many times. very quiet and peaceful place. The staff is super nice and the rooms are clean, cozy and super nice as well as the beds to have the best rest after or before safari. The location is great as it is close to the main road, close to Arusha but not in the middle of the town. you can hear nothing at night. Just silence.

Mazzola Safari House & Backpacking, hotel in Arusha

Featuring a garden and a shared lounge, Mazzola Safari House & Backpacking is located in Mianzini area, 1.4 km from Selian Town Clinic.

Mazzoli was such a nice stay. My host, Innocence, was very helpful, sorting communication with my safari company, dropping me off at a pick up point and picking me up in the airport. I was sad to only stay for a night, would've loved to spend a little longer and enjoy the atmosphere a bit more.

Arusha Holiday Safari, hotel in Arusha

Situated in Arusha and only 3.3 km from Old German Boma, Arusha Holiday Safari features accommodation with mountain views, free WiFi and free private parking.

Very personal experience, my mom and I really felt at home. The location is beautiful and quiet, in the middle of Avocado and Banana trees while Arusha is still easily reachable within approx 15min by TukTuk. It’s not the typical hotel experience - you‘ll stay in the same house with Hope which naturally is his home and not a hotel but we highly appreciated exactly that. The food was good as well and we had a room with two single beds but he also has another one with a double bed available. Very comfy beds. Would definitely recommend for a more local and authentic experience!

    A very clean, comfortable hostel. We were very impressed with our room and the facilities in general. It felt very homey but still very clean. Swahiba and his girlfriend are excellent hosts and made us feel very welcome from the moment we arrived. They showed us all the best local spots to go to and we even did a last minute day trip tour of Arusha with Swahiba which we thoroughly enjoyed. We would highly recommend this lovely hostel- which felt more like a home away from home than a hostel!

    Breakfast and dinner were great. The location is not so easy to access if you go alone, but with the help of locals you can easily reach the hotel, which is well known there. The place was also very clean and the rooms were well organized. It was super worth it for the price and length of stay. Zena is very sweet and friendly! And as for security, we were able to leave our bags in the rooms, which had locks, so it was super peaceful too.

    We were a group of 4 students traveling through Arusha before starting safari. This was a beautiful clean property. We were welcomed by the lovely hosts. The beds were very comfortable and 3 out of the 4 bunks had mosquito nets. The bathrooms were lovely - clean with great water pressure and warm water! Breakfast was served at the time of our choosing and was very tasty! The hosts were very kind and helpful throughout our stay.
