The room was really small and the “double bed” were two single bed pushed together, which made it really uncomfortable.. and the room was really small

the hotel had the friendliest staff ever! I really enjoyed it! The breakfast was delicious and the location of the hotel is great, right in the centre!

After eating breakfast on arrival, I returned to my room and the lock wasn't on the door and the door was closed. When I entered the room, one of the staff was there supposedly bringing a blanket. After he left, I found that my small bag had been gone through but there was nothing missing. After that, I used my own lock. WiFi signal in the room was too weak, so had to use WiFi in the bar area.

Breakfast was good and they let me have breakfast the day I arrived as I arrived early. However there may have been a motive for this, see below.

Ana the receptionist is very friendly and nice! She help me in going around the area and even assisted me to look for agent for my Safaru Tour. I stayed here in this hotel and decided to stay after my short trip to Kenya. Bed is good enough. Shared bathroom. No Air-conditioning but the room is well ventilated. Breakfast was basic with instant coffee available. View from the rooftop where the dining is located was superb! Supermarket and restaurants are available in the area.

It’s a bit loud at night but that was expected since it’s on the main road. Fine with earplugs. Breakfast is basic but ok.

We had a twin room with windows and it was small but perfect for our needs. The rooms without windows may feel a bit like a closet. Nice, clean bathrooms with hot water. Rooftop restaurant/bar is nice and an interesting view over the busy main road.

Some staff can be unprofessional. I think that could be improved

I liked the place. Very clean, comfortable plus the breakfast was good. It's very central so you can navigate the area and town easily. The rooms are well maintained and the bathrooms and toilets are really clean. Overall, a very nice place

The double rooms were very small and crowded but for the price could not complain.

The facility was clean and newly painted. The upstairs patio was a pleasant to have a simple breakfast in the morning. Staff went out of their way to be helpful. Touts around to sell you a budget safari or tour. Place to store luggage.

The rooms are very small! But for the price they are still great value.

Excellent location in the middle of town. Very cheap price. Friendly staff. Nice rooftop terrace for breakfast in the morning and beers at night.

I had a double bed and it was alright. Peeped into the single bed room and it's fairly small. While this is a budget hotel you should just know what you're getting. It is not a negative, as such.

It's cheap and you get what you pay for. In the sense it's a bed in a room with a fan. Don't expect a lot of space in your room. There are common bathrooms outside. I had stayed there just for a night before the safari and didnt visit arusha. The staff are helpful and the wifi works.

I had a room with no outside window, the only ones were facing the corridor so if someone goes around it could get quite noisy.

It's a good value for money, close to the city center and good breakfast included.

Great price, very central location, close to markets and to a big supermarket. There is a nice rooftop where to chill and have a meal (though the prices are a bit high). Im afraid there are some bugs in the big cushions of the rooftop as I had a lot of bites (and they were not from mosquitos nor my mattress). The breakfast is great. Staff is very kind, too. Bathrooms have toilet paper and soap and there is hot water. Very good value for money.

A bit dark rooms with some noise outside during night

Cheap hostel with good value for money.

The staff couldn't really answers to our question about bus schedules to go to Dar. Each time we were asking a question at the reception (like for the bus schedules)they were sending us to a guy but we didn’t need someone to walk us to the bus station and then ask us for money. It is a weird way to “help” customers… We didn’t know if the guy was working for the hostel or not.

They made us choose our room when we arrive! You have what you’re paying for. There is also hot water.

The bathroom & toilets were a bit narrow. The room was a bit small, but ok.

The staffs were really nice, kind and took a big care of us. The breakfast was good. Everything was really clean. The hostel has a really nice location, in the center of Arusha.

Arusha Backpackers is a very nice hostel. We stayed there before and after the safari for 3 nights in total. It's not a luxury hotel but for the price you pay you get all you need. The breakfast is a little buffet with bread, spread, cornflakes, dates and watermelon as well as coffee and different kind of teas. The washrooms are clean and the showers have hot water. The rooms are a little small but clean and the beds are comfortable. They have a big terrace on the roof where you can buy drinks. The staff is very very friendly. The location is perfect if you want to explore Arusha or go on safari. They have a big luggage room where you can leave your bags if you go on safari. All in all this is a very good Hostel and I would recommend to stay there.
