No thrills, but definitely worth the money. We have stayed here several times and will be back. Ask for room with balcony facing the garden. ##### Tarald Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stanislava Aug 17, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Very pleasant city centre hotel with garden. The hotel is ideally located in the centre of Arusha. It has wonderful large garden and the spacious balcony of our room overlooked that garden. The rooms were also spacious with comfortable beds. The breakfast was varied with fruits, fresh pancakes and eggs at your choice prepared on the spot. The hotel might need a little update of the bathrooms but currently it is excellent value for money. ##### Stanislava Stayed 1 night in Jun 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Dave Feb 13, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Dinner food needs improvement ##### Dave Stayed 1 night in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Judith Mar 24, 2024 We stayed at Equator hotel 3 nights during our Safari in Tanzania, before, and after. The staff was always smiling and we enjoyed at lot of fist and elbow greetings. Our laundry was done very timely. The restaurant was spacious and the food was well prepared. Expedia didn’t contact them for our arrival but the Equator staff were able to accommodate us. We eve had a few words in Swahili taught to us by the staff. ##### Judith Stayed 1 night in Feb 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Alex Aug 7, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Great hotel for the price. The property is beautiful, rooms are clean and turned over every day. Staff is very friendly and accommodating. Breakfast is good, although there could be more consistency in the coffee amount and quality. Nice little bar as well, prices are a bit more expensive than out on the town, but definitely reasonable. My only major complaint is the shower/hot water situation, having stayed in 3 different rooms, it is very inconsistent in how well it works. Sometimes its fine, other times its not. The most recent room I stayed in had plenty of hot water, but when showering, you could only get blisteringly hot or cold at once, never a warm blend. However, hot water issues are common even at the more expensive hotels in Arusha, so its expected. Location is safe and very convenient, right by the clock tower and the museum. I will definitely stay here again next time I am in Arusha ##### Alex Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### James Jun 23, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### James Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### James Feb 21, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### James Stayed 10 nights in Feb 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### James Feb 18, 2025 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### James Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### JAMES Feb 16, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### JAMES Stayed 5 nights in Feb 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### James Feb 16, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### James Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### James Feb 8, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### James Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### James Feb 8, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### James Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Ruben Dec 24, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort Disliked: Property conditions & facilities ##### Ruben Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jonathan Nov 27, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities ##### Jonathan Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jonathan Oct 26, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities ##### Jonathan Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Francine Oct 1, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Bon rapport qualité prix Accueil très agréable, literie très confortable.
