Arusha Backpackers Hostel Reviews

+ Nice rooftop bar - Staff really unfriendly, never smiling and service is really slow. Also, take note!: One Masai (from the staff?) was in luggage room standing in front of our backpack when we came in. He left the room quickly. We checked the backpack and found out that 100 USD was missing. We spoke to the receptionist about it, but she didn't believe us. Lesson learned: Never leave any money anywhere, where other people can access it. Luggage room is also used as somekind of storage room!

We found the stay fitted our needs perfectly. We used it twice, once at the start of our safari and then at the end. We appreciated the restaurant in the hostel - infact it was the biggest selling point, meaning that our stay was hassle free and we could relax without having to deal with the slightly daunting streets outside, especially at night.

We enjoyed the fact that free breakfast was included and the bar area at the top - it was lovely!

You get what you pay for: white washed cell like rooms that fit one bed, a miniature table and a chair. Common bathrooms. Bar, internet and restaurant upstairs: you get an entertaining look at the streetlife below; a good place for a night or so.
