Budget Hotels in Simanjiro

"The hotel is in the heart of Arusha city center. Great location and walking distances to cafe shops and restaurants. Breakfast is very limited, but they can do better than what they offer. Arusha has plenty of fresh food coming from the farms everyday I don’t see why they shouldn’t take advantage of that. The only one thing that I thought was outrageous was room service. They charge $12 for room service and if you bring any food in your room from outside they charge $10 cleaning charges. For this is not acceptable if you are playing $140-$150 per night. "

"This hotel is in a great location if you are going to or coming from the international airport. The staff speak English but there understanding is limited. We booked a two nice stay and told them we needed a 4 am shuttle on morning #2 (Tuesday). We were very tired and went to bed only to be awoken at 4am wondering why weren't were leaving. THIS WAS AFTER 1 NIGHT! WHY WOULD WE BOOK TWO NIGHTS AND LEAVE AFTER 1???????? Otherwise the place is very nice and the food is great. The gym is not much, the electric equipment (treadmill, elipical,etc) all had the power cords cut off. "

"rooms are good; internet was bad; food is below average; staff are nice but lack passion, contrast to most of the tourist hotels. it's a decent hotel to stay for work (but internet was a problem), don't eat there, there are many better places. not worth the price. "

"One of the best hotels in Tanzania, suites are generous in space and breakfast is excellent"

"This was our meeting place for a night (although we spent several night before) prior to a Nat Geo Great Migration Safari in Tanzania. The staff were friendly, helpful and all around best. The could not do enough for us. It was a delightful stay. "

"Pros: -mosquito net in room on beds -fan worked in room -large room for a really affordable price -centrally located -cool social bar/restaurant rooftop area -staff Cons: -wifi was nonexistent -shower in the room is really basic -no AC in the room "

"Clean and modern hotel. Beautiful facilities. Friendly and accommodating staff that is super helpful. Tasty restaurant with amazing breakfast. Aesthetic pool. Highly recommended."

"Internet is inefficient. OK for leisure travelers but tough on business use. Frequent municipal power failures requires better backup generators, and internet required constant re-entering of password. A better automatic reconnect feature is required"

"Great lodge in a lovely location. Pool was brilliant. The resident Marabou Storks made this place really special! Also so hornbills and a lilac breasted roller"
