The choices for the food was so poor and I had to literally beg for some beans on toast.

Pros: Arusha Planet Lodge was the perfect place to stay before and after our safari! The staff was extremely friendly and even taught us a little Swahili (Bernard was great!).

Pros: There was so much to love! The staff were so incredibly helpful and friendly - Yvonne at the front desk took care of everything we needed; Naomi, the chef, made us delicious meals in the stylish restaurant (the African beef stew was incredible); and Rose in house keeping made sure our room was so comfortable. The property itself is beautiful, a little piece of paradise in a big, sometimes crazy city! The WiFi worked great, and the showers were hot with good pressure - a welcome thing indeed in Tanzania. We had drinks in the charming little bar at night as we chatted with Yvonne too, which was fantastic.

Cons: There was a problem to find the reservation and the staff at the reception was not helping at all.

Pros: A bonus for the staff, they tryed to improve our experience

Pros: This hotel in Arusha center is super clean, good breakfast, polite and smiling receptionists, just the perfect stepping stone to the upcoming safari. Thank you!

Cons: The furniture in the rooms is outdated. The bathroom door does not close. The air conditioning system is old and does not cool. The doors and walls are not soundproofed, there is a lot of noise from outside, from the hallway and from the neighboring rooms. There were cockroaches in the bathroom. We served dinner at the hotel restaurant and only a few dishes were available from the menu presented. There are no restaurants near the hotel.

Pros: Room was clean and comfortable. We didn't have a chance to get on breakfast so they prepared us breakfast box which was nice. Central location.

Cons: Balcony door was blocked. Very noisy street, but it's in the city center so that's understandable.

Pros: Breakfast was very good, I enjoyed it. The Location of the hotel is good, but the space is too small, there is no where to rest, like a garden or something

Cons: The lady at the reception, need to be welcoming and charming, she is too serious

Pros: Friendliness of the manager & staff, cleanliness, location in the center of Arusha, the friendly chef and the food of the restaurant (Dinner was very good, breakfast was okay). In general it provides a very good value for the money and is perfect for everyone that is looking for a good african mid-range hotel.

Cons: It was almost impossible to get a good water temperature in the shower and the water pressure was also not ideal. It's not a big deal. For me the bed was not stiff enough (which resulted in back pain), my girlfriend liked it though. This is very subjective of course.

Cons: No wifi I rooms

Cons: Lack of variety on menu and pool covered

Pros: The staff is very nice. Great enviroment.

Pros: The breakfast and food generally was excellent.

Pros: Hospitality and location

Cons: Services and their washroom .

Pros: The workers were very nice

Cons: It was too expensive forcthe facilities It had. Old towels, very low water pressure made really hard to have a shower

Pros: Staff very friendly and helpful. Breakfast simple, but well prepared and fresh. Decent coffee. Good location for the start of our self-drive safari experience

Cons: nothing

Pros: The staff were fantastic. They really went above and beyond to help us out. Thomas, the owner/manager gave excellent help in finding us a bus to go to Moshi for the night for really cheap. The rooms were big enough for our luggage to not get in our way. There were locking cabinets to store any valuables while you are away from the hotel. ***This is not a + or -, just something else: there are a lot of farm fowl around (throughout Tanzania) so you may want to bring earplugs if you do not want to be woken up as early as 2:30am by a possibly confused/definitely overzealous rooster.

Cons: The wait time for food at the restaurant was a bit long.

Pros: Very clean with outstanding, friendly staff and nice amenities. Very affordable and a great value compared to similar hotels in the area.

Cons: No toilet paper :( No shampoo in the shower. Wifi did not work.

Pros: We had a great time at this hotel. The service is the best part - every employee in this hotel is nice, helpful, kind, and always answering positively to any question you could have. Food is good and affordable and the hotel is quiet. The accommodation is typical, very beautiful. Do not be afraid about the location ; at first we were afraid that we would be too far from the city center, it appears that a lot of « dala dala » pass directly at the door and let you right at the masaï market for only TSH400 per person. And you are far from the busy city center which is better to sleep well !! In addition, we left the hotel at 5am to get to our safari, the service is so good the employees woke up and gave us a breakfast box to eat on the road. Two French people very happy with the service Romain & Elsa

Pros: The staff and hospitality management student interns are very courteous, helpful and professional. Room and hotel facilities are very clean, with housekeeping done every day. Hotel is located close to the main Bus Terminal and market, which is very convenient for tourists. Excellent complimentary breakfast is served daily by staff that is just awesome!

Cons: No hot shower. Loud even midnight.

Pros: It was alright, it could be better.

Cons: Breakfast was til 10am, but i went there at 9:30 most of it was finished and there was still 30 minutes to go.

Pros: Friendly and helpful staff. Comfortable bed.

Cons: It's located near bus station, so it's noisy even with closed windows.

Pros: - Clean bathroom and working AC - Friendly doorman - Very good location if you want to enjoy the market and are not bothered by the noise.

Cons: STAY AWAY!!! 1) Very uncomfortable and broken bed, wifi so slow it seemed to be powered by a hamster wheel, broken and dusty curtains, carpet about to die. Our executive room was nowhere near executive standards. 2) The dishonesty of the staff is a shame, except for the young doorman who was always helpful and smiling. We booked an executive room for three nights with a free cancelation option and payment at the hotel. On our arrival, a discount of 25% was advertised on the counter of the reception (see photo attached). We asked for the discount and the employee in charge of our check-in said we would pay at the end of our stay. When checking out, another employee said we were not eligible for the discount since we did not book the room directly at the counter. We tried to explain for 30 minutes that we mentioned the discount at the check-in and that, should the employee had asked us to cancel the reservation on booking we would have done it (without any cost on our side...). During the conversation, the employee also tried to make us believe that the rate only applied to locals. Since we had flights and they just did not care, we gave up and paid what they wanted. Icing in the cake, they wanted to add a 5% fee on the total bill in order to pay by card!

Pros: Good location between the locals.

Cons: The power was off and there was no airco

Pros: The staff were very friendly, especially in the restaurant. The food was great too and well priced. Location is right downtown.

Cons: The wifi was poor quality or not working during my stay which was inconvenient. The shower had very little hot water.

Pros: Staff were very friendly. Location of hotel was very convenient.

Cons: I think rooms should be cleaned everyday. Power cuts, generator gives access to only light and fan. Can't charge any rechargeable device.

Pros: The location was great, in the heart of the city center. It’s perfect for that one or two night layover. Staff was friendly and helpful. Value was amazing!!

Cons: At no fault to the property, apparently the country turned off the internet due to the election, I was hoping to post pictures and social media updated during my stay, but couldn’t.

Pros: Breakfast was great. Low cost budget hotel with just the basics.

Cons: Bed was very hard and bathroom very old feeling. No attention to detail.

Pros: Breakfast was fair and hotel location is good for new visitors and all receptionist where so helpful, I recommend any visitor to stay there, Good place to stay and very quite.

Cons: non

Pros: I had stayed in this location many years back, and was impressed to see how they have upgraded. The staff were very helpful

Cons: The TV reception could have been better

Pros: Not much, apart from being in the centre of Arusha. The hotel had no real benefit. There are much nicer, better priced and well rated hotels on booking.com as well. I would avoid it as much as possible.

Cons: First they overcharged me! There is a credit card fee if you pay by card! Shady operation of money exchange, beaware donot change money here the guy rips you off, no receipt given! They let all the vendors come in an harres you with their products in the "lobby". Unsafe feeling, breakfasf is simple with no drinking water to be offered.

Cons: Bathroom was not even close to clean. Towels were scratchy and thin. Stains on bed linen. Room was not serviced at all during our stay. Rooms are open to street and adjoining property and thereby subject to noise. Had to ask for change of room due to excessive noise, was given room of lower standard, no compensation offered. Drinking water must be purchased from the hotel. Rooms are small, no adapter provided. Air conditioner temperature cannot be controlled, only on (freezing) or off ( too warm).

Cons: Some of the room is having cold water while some is hot water only.

Pros: Very good value for money! The hotel is clean, safe and the breakfast is good. The staff is very friendly and caring. I was very ill one night and they escorted me to the hospital twice and came to pick me up making sure I was ok. Highly recommended.

Cons: That they didn't respect our booking - they put us in the last cabin and not what we paid for. Additionally, they only take cash to avoid paying local taxes - it is a bit of hoax
