“Close to Arusha's center and the Maasai market, it's a practical base for exploring the city. Breakfast is included, which is always a plus, and the staff seems genuinely helpful with onward travel. The rooms could use some updating, and you might need patience for hot water, but overall, it strikes a good balance for budget-conscious travellers.”
