The rooms were very clean, quiet, and comfortable. The restaurant had delicious food with a beautiful breakfast spread. Thank you to the front desk for being so helpful and coordinating rides for me! I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and would recommend Equator Hotel to anyone visiting Arusha.

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.

The garden is very nice, well looked after. They try very much to keep the rooms and everywhere clean and even the linen. The building needs some tender care, painting and there is a smell that hits you as you enter the lobby or sitting or bar area or the kitchen. I dont know what it is, could be from the building or burning some stuff. That place has a good potential to be a comfortable destination

The Equator Hotel Arusha is conveniently located near the Clock Tower, a mini-grocery, and coffee shops like Bamboo Cafe and Africafe. The hotel has a nice garden, courteous staff, and a welcoming owner/manager. The spacious rooms are relatively old, but well-kept. Wifi internet was supposed to be available in the rooms, but the staff couldn't make it work. The staff, and the owner/manager eventually found a way to address the issue. The electricity socket extensions didn't function, too. On our check-out day, we were allowed to store our suitcases; and given packed breakfast to-go, as our safari tour started early in the morning. The receptionist, Fatuma, is courteous and helpful. She can further improve her service by answering questions properly instead of asking questions back*. * a couple of examples: 1. When asked "what is the normal time for breakfast?" Fatuma's response was "what time do you want for breakfast?" We eventually learned that it's 7:30-10 AM. 2. Me during our first breakfast: "What are the options for breakfast?" Fatuma's reply: "What do you want for breakfast?" As it turned out, there was a menu for breakfast. She could have told me about it or shown me the menu right away.

This place has a 70s retro feel, it's basic, safe but a bit grungy. The staff are lovely and very helpful. I enjoyed staying here and highly recommend it as a great budget option

It is an old hotel and they try to keep it up as best as possible. Nice staff, eager to please. Patrick the GM was very good, welcoming and personable. Thumbs up to the good work they are doing with such an old property. For USD 40 it is good value, great location. Garden facing room is very pleasant. Avoid city facing if possible, facing a very old dilapidated building.

This place is a really good deal for midrange budgets. Great value for money, close to the clocktower, a supermarket, the masaai market and restaurants. Definitely worth the money.

Had a pretty poor experience here. The location is very central, but the comfort is subpar. The beds were very hard. And we weren't even provided with blankets. I spent my coldest night here. And one was available at reception to remedy this issue. The rooms are also quite loud.
