Arusha Backpackers Hotel

Good breakfast offered on self service

Everything. The stuff are amazing

Toilet side. They ain't bad,they are usable just that they are slightly small.

Great value for money. I paid $10 for a single room (shared bathroom). For breakfast, there is instant powder coffee and five types of tea, milk and two types of (sugary) juice. One morning there was fresh watermelon and dates. There is sliced white bread that you can toast. There is also local porridge. I ordered dinner. Simple, cheap, limited menu. The location is very noisy (on a main street) but I enjoyed that. I always travel with earplugs! This is the real Tanzania. Out in the streets, you can watch the world go by. You can haggle for very cheap fruit and vegetables. I felt safe here, traveling on my own. The staff are friendly and my single room had a solid lock on it. The Wi-Fi has worked fine for me so I have been able to order motorbike taxi using Bolt app. If you like my reviews, follow me or read my blog Diary of a Muzungu and listen to my East Africa Travel Podcast.

The only thing I found odd is that I had to ask for a towel. Also, I had one sheet and pillow [and no top sheet or pillowcase]. I stayed at another backpackers this week. They did the same thing! Very noisy esp on rooftop restaurant.

Great location and nice view from the rooftop on the mountain and town.

Sheets, towels, etc were full of stains. Toilet/bathrooms were all quite dirty too. I also think they should do much more with the rooftop, it can be way cooler
