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.

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.

    The room was clean and comfortable. Staff were friendly and helpful. The food at the restaurant was lovely, but it took a while to come. The hotel will arrange massages and other treatments upon request. The area is busy, full of hustle and bustle but it’s an ideal location to be picked up for a tour.

    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.

    Wow, what a find! Tucked away in a lush banana plantation near Arusha, this eco-hostel stole my heart. My cozy barn cabin felt like a treehouse dream, complete with a porch swing and stunning Mount Meru views. But the real showstopper? The incredibly cheap eats and drinks! I feasted on delicious organic meals straight from the farm without breaking the bank. If you're after an authentic Tanzanian experience that's easy on the wallet, Banana Farm Eco Hostel is a must-visit. Trust me, your taste buds and your budget will thank you!

    Comfortable and cozy budget hotel. Very friendly, sociable, pleasant, responsible, and polite staff. It's evident that they love their job. They prepare very tasty breakfasts; they even prepared a takeaway breakfast for us earlier than the scheduled time. We also dined there, and the chapatis were simply delicious. Good location not far from the main street, from where it's easy to take a taxi to the center for 5000 shillings (using the inDrive app).
