  This is the perfect property to stay in Arusha especially if you're in transit on the way to the National Parks and Reserves.

A small nit is the unheated pool which made it difficult for us to us.

I would recommend this hotel as a starting point if you are planning a multi day trip to Tanzania.

My wife and I stayed with our 3 kids for 6 Hrs after the end of our Safari and the flight back home leaving at midnight. We just wanted a quick shower and a a place to change. Even though we booked 2 rooms at $200+ each, they insisted they had to charges us an extra $100 for our little one since each room only accommodates 2. I tried to make them understand that we wouldn't even take the free breakfast, as we would leave at midnight, nor would we do much sleeping and the 4 beds were fine, but after initially saying they'd try for an upgrade, the manager handed me 3 pages of small print regarding their "official policies" and insisted we pay. This all occurred AFTER we were already in the rooms, otherwise I would have simply sat in the lobby.

I could have done that in NYC for less. Everywhere else in Tanzania people were friendly and accommodating. This was the only place where the entire staff looked like they didn't want to be there... The low point of our stay in Tanzania. They need to learn what a repeat customer is. Next time I will stay in Arusha and take the extra 30 min to drive to the airport as well spent price to avoid this awful place. More
