Very basic though everything is clean and general security seems OK Some rooms have AC (which sounds like a jet engine) whereas others only have fans.

For $20 bucks a night, you except something a little terrible, and this is it. I felt safe, you van use your own lock and someone is always on duty. But the rooms are dirty and dingy and you'll be happy to go home.

Basic but clean rooms. Opportunity to meet other travellers. Great restaurant downstairs and internet access.

I arranged for a taxi to the airport through the hotel and I think the price was a bit high (20,000 Tsh) and they tried to charge me the cost of the reservation deposit twice, but other than that, nice place, helpful staff, and well maintained.

For a real traveller who travels light and simple, Jambo inn is simply OK. Literally. I found the extorting prices of the restaurant however, quite outrageous. The restaurant is way overpriced in comparison to other restaurants of its type in Tanzania. The extorting prices would only be afforded by tourists.
