Hotel Bintang 3 di Arusha, Tanzania

We arrived in Arusha at the same time as the President! So, trafic was chaotic. Entry is down a rough gravel road, but once the security gate slides back: welcome to paradise. A stunning large home set in a beautifully maintained garden. Idyllic!! Walter is a fantastic and obliging host. Food was great; room was clean and well serviced. Cannot fault the stay and will return.

Restaurant is very good for a variety of food options and beers. Room is dated and can be noisy (road, noisy bar on the weekend) but good for a short stay before safari. A few food options around / cafes as well as convenience stores and currency exchange. The exchange is much better in Tanzania than Kenya but it seemed harder to pay with a bank card in Tanzania.

Good value, nice clean hotel, quiet location, not many food options around but the Wildebeest restaurant next door was good for a local (but good for westerners) food and cheap beers. Good breakfast for Africa. Would stay again.

Great staff and clean rooms. Breakfast was freshly made and of a good portion. Away from the chaos of the city center in a quiet corner, while maintaining easy access to restaurants and local stores.
