The main downs were the fact that we had a room without windows but an opening on the top Facing the hallway that had only a mosquito net - there was a group of young, drunk Americans that was really loud and it literally sounded like they were chatting and laughing inside our room. Also, we were told not to leave the hotel at night for safety reasons.

This place is reasonable value. The room is small, but there’s a good, covered terrace. The price is stellar and the staff helpful. They hooked me up with a good safari. The WiFi does not work in the room, but it’s good on the terrace. Unfortunately, they have a serious bed bug problem. I’ve since had to pay a lot to get my luggage and clothes clean, making it an expensive stay. I also didn’t sleep well for two nights due to the itchiness. ##### Andrea Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2019 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Rhi Aug 31, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Perfect for the budget traveller Arusha Backpackers is in a great location for the safari and kilimanjaro offices in the centre of town that you can book when you arrive. It is also walking distance from the supermarket and cash points. It has a bar on the roof which is great for chilling in after kili/safari. Rooms and bathrooms were clean, and water was hot!! Overall, a great place to stay for a budget traveller. ##### Rhi Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2018 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Robert Aug 21, 2018 #### Great stay The staff were friendly, rooms basic but comfortable and nice hot showers ##### Robert Stayed 1 night in Aug 2018 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller May 21, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service #### Great value Warm water, clean, beautiful rooftop bar and decent location! All for very good rate ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in May 2018 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### P&D Mar 13, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Good value close to town Very helpful and pleasant staff. Free breakfast was nice and internet on rooftop lounge was good. Rooms are a bit small and clostraphobic if you don't have a window but fan helps. We booked safari at hotel with Big 5 and it turned out well despite my reservations about all the persistant guys hawking tours outside the hostel. They are just trying to make a living. Staff also helped book our shuttle bus to Nairobi via Riverside which was a good ride. ##### P&D Stayed 1 night in Mar 2018 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### P&D Mar 9, 2018 Liked: Staff & service, room comfort #### Close to downtown a d bus stop Enjoyed bar/restaurant, free breakfast and booked safari from here. ##### P&D Stayed 1 night in Mar 2018 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### mai Feb 27, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 屋上テラスが居心地が良い 屋上のテラスで飲食が出来、Wi-Fiも繋がり、街の人々の様子が見渡せます。メルー山も目の前に見えて、非常に居心地が良かったです。宿泊費に朝食は含まれていて、朝食は屋上のテラスで食べれます。温かいミルクや紅茶、コーヒーを飲めてとても良かったです。部屋はたまに蚊が居ますので、虫除けやベープなどを持っていくと良いです。コンセントはありました。私はスタンダードシングルルームに5泊しました。部屋は狭く古いですが、掃除はよくされてて清潔です。トイレは男女兼用ですが、数がたくさんあるので大丈夫でした。 スタッフの方々は若い人が多く、住み込みで働いてる人も居ました。みなさん感じが良かったです。ホテルの入り口のガレージの管理を、マサイの方々がされてました。何泊かするうちに顔見知りになり、お話も出来ました。値段が安く、人とも交流が出来て、古いけどこまめに掃除されてて、とても気に入りました。ルームサービスはありません。お湯を沸かせる携帯ポットを持って行かれたら、温かいものを部屋で飲めて便利だと思います。ホテルから近い大型スーパーは今改装中で閉まってました。2018年2月現在。スーパーは歩いて20分くらいの時計台の近くにありました。冷えたペットボトルの水は、屋上のテラスカフェで買えます。便利でした。 ##### mai Stayed 5 nights in Feb 2018 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Trish Nov 20, 2017 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Room comfort #### Backpackers Hostel Staff was very nice and polite. Hostel close to roads so it was noisy and hard to sleep at night. Room was super cozy, had a hole in the wall and could use a paint job but overall clean. Internet spotty, usually no wifi during the day for the three days I was there but was always on at night and the majority of the mornings unless the power was out. For a price of 8$/day with a free breakfast it was a good deal. Not luxurious but got the job done. ##### Trish Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2017 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Sep 19, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Easy to find Room was small as expected but cheap and comfortable. Downside was that it had a window facing inside which was just covered in mesh. There was no way to block it or close it so noises and light came through all night ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Sep 2017 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Sep 8, 2017 Disliked: Cleanliness #### 1泊ならあり 6ドルのシングルルーム泊。安いですから文句は言えないけれどレビューで読んだ通り、大通り沿いなので音はうるさいです。Wifiも3階のレストランでしか接続できません。レストランは屋上なので寒いですので夜は上着を着て行きましょう。部屋のカギは南京錠。ドアの上は破れた網戸。廊下も破れた網戸、ベッドには蚊帳もないので虫に対しては自己防衛必須です。でも、朝食もついてこの値段なので文句はありません。しかし私は虫がどうしても気になったので翌日ホテルを変えました。洗面台やシャワー、トイレはたくさんあったので混雑で待つことはありませんでした。スタッフもみんな英語が堪能でフレンドリーです。 ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Aug 2017 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Fei Aug 23, 2017 Disliked: Cleanliness, room comfort #### 還行 旅館在市中心，很方便，但是我們住的房間沒窗戶，不通風怪氣味很重，房間很老舊，但只住一天還行，頂樓餐廳可以看市區景觀很不錯 ##### Fei Stayed 1 night in Aug 2017 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gisele Jul 23, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities ##### Gisele Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [Kilimanjaro Eco Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Arusha-Hotels-Kilimanjaro-Eco-Lodge.h26548023.Hotel-Information) > - [Highview Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Karatu-Hotels-Highview-Hotel.h22109001.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotel Riu Palace Zanzibar - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Nungwi-Hotels-Riu-Palace-Zanzibar-All-Inclusive.h5361523.Hotel-Information) > - [Meliá Serengeti Lodge Member of Meliá Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Serengeti-National-Park-Hotels-Melia-Serengeti-Lodge.h18410258.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotel Riu Jambo - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Nungwi-Hotels-Hotel-Riu-Jambo.h75595198.Hotel-Information) > - [Stonefish Inn Jambiani ](https://www.expedia.ca/Jambiani-Hotels-Stonefish-Inn-Jambiani.h100720924.Hotel-Information) > - [Zanzibar Magic Boutique Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Matemwe-Hotels-Zanzibar-Magic-Boutique-Hotel.h21947535.Hotel-Information) > - [Milele Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Dongwe-Hotels-Milele-Beach-Resort.h29854931.Hotel-Information) > - [Farm of Dreams Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Karatu-Hotels-Farm-Of-Dreams-Lodge.h11806795.Hotel-Information) > - [UVIVU by Jambiani Villas](https://www.expedia.ca/Jambiani-Hotels-GreenZ-Jambiani-Apartments.h37946686.Hotel-Information) > - [Villa Malaika](https://www.expedia.ca/Jambiani-Hotels-Villa-Malaika.h96936853.Hotel-Information) > - [Fukuchani Inn Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Fukuchani-Hotels-Fukuchani-Inn-Hotel.h100326475.Hotel-Information) > - [LUX Marijani Zanzibar](https://www.expedia.ca/Pwani-Mchangani-Hotels-Marijani-Beach-Resort-Spa.h69923153.Hotel-Information) > - [Sharazad Oasis Retreat](https://www.expedia.ca/Jambiani-Hotels-Sharazad-Oasis-Retreat.h89854080.Hotel-Information) > - [Kasi Tembo Rest House](https://www.expedia.ca/Karatu-Hotels-Kasi-Tembo-Rest-House.h112277389.Hotel-Information) > - [Konokono Beach Resort and Isaraya Over Water Villa](https://www.expedia.ca/Michamvi-Hotels-Konokono-Beach-Resort.h3881687.Hotel-Information) > - [Villa Mina](https://www.expedia.ca/Jambiani-Hotels-Villa-Mina.h32649014.Hotel-Information) > - [Nungwi Dreams by Mantis](https://www.expedia.ca/Nungwi-Hotels-Nungwi-Dreams.h19700686.Hotel-Information) > - [The Palms Zanzibar - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Dongwe-Hotels-The-Palms-Zanzibar-All-Inclusive.h10041347.Hotel-Information) > - [Brubru Lodge ](https://www.expedia.ca/Moshi-Hotels-Altezza-Lodge.h19686862.Hotel-Information) > - [Le Mersenne Zanzibar, Autograph Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Michamvi-Hotels-Le-Mersenne-Beach.h65725614.Hotel-Information) > - [Sai villa Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Iringa-Hotels-Sai-Villa-Hotel.h107629022.Hotel-Information) > - [Mbuyuni Beach Village - Bungalows](https://www.expedia.ca/Jambiani-Hotels-Mbuyuni-Beach-Village-Bungalows.h2205544.Hotel-Information) > - [Coral Rocks Hotel & Restaurant](https://www.expedia.ca/Jambiani-Hotels-Coral-Rock-Hotel-Restaurant.h1912135.Hotel-Information) > - [Zanzibar House](https://www.expedia.ca/Matemwe-Hotels-Zanzibar-House.h5922080.Hotel-Information) > - [Tanga Beach Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Tanga-Hotels-Tanga-Beach-Resort-Spa.h26720483.Hotel-Information) > - [The Mora Zanzibar - Luxury All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Matemwe-Hotels-Emerald-Zanzibar-Resort-Spa.h78245396.Hotel-Information) > - [Tarangire Simba Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Tarangire-National-Park-Hotels-Tarangire-Simba-Lodge.h21559150.Hotel-Information) > - [Four Seasons Safari Lodge Serengeti](https://www.expedia.ca/Serengeti-National-Park-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Safari-Lodge-Serengeti.h2949601.Hotel-Information)
