Vintage Africa-accommodaties in Arumeru

'A'

'I was just coming off a tour and had an extra night to spend in Arusha. Rather than spend the night in the tour hotel I decided to try Mc-Elly's for about 4x LESS the price. The area in the daytime is a bit chaotic (industrial area) but it's the real Africa not what I saw in the tour hotel. As soon as the sun goes down it was very quiet. Loved sitting out on my balcony. Breakfast was great, lots of variety and the manager of the hotel even greeted me asking me how I found everything. Nice...

'We were most happy with the help the mananger gave, buying a busticket and organizing a man to help us out finding our bus early in the morning. The location of the hotel is quite convinient as it is 1 street away from the bus station, in a very lively neighbourhood. Furthermore I can recommomand their restaurant as the serve great food and were very friendly.'

'The place is what you pay for I guess. You'd think £60 would go farther in Tanzania but apparently not, Arusha is expensive. Basically, rooms are like prison cells, bathrooms terrible, and it took a few tries to find a room with working aircon. Staff were friendly enough if a little inefficient. What is with having to ask for toilet paper all the time - just have some in the room, its a basic necessity!!!'
