We stayed two nights, before and after our safari. Staff were fantastic! Everyone was friendly and helpful, nothing was too much to arrange. We ate well and had two fun nights in the hotel bar. There was no need to venture out of the hotel premises.

Great food! Good service! Not the location. I would recommend if you don’t mind the location. You could spend less a quarter dollar to reach to city center.

A gem in Sakina, Arusha.
We arrived from Kenya by road and were so wonderfully received with refreshing hot towels and juice. The rooms are very clean and there is hot water and wifi. The staff are wonderful and Yassin is also a great cook. The hotel is tucked away on a side street and it is lined with flower trees, banana trees, etc. We enjoyed our stay so much we stayed again on our way back from safari. Comfortable, and well worth the reasonable price. It is a little outside of the city center but for that it is peaceful.

It was great to stay especially of the staff. Yasin and Happy are the assist to the property. Although the hotel is bit far from the town but free shuttle covers that part. Good budget place to stay. If you are coming from Kenya by road, just give a call to property to pick you up before you entry to the town....

A very pleasant two-night stay around my safari
I stayed at the Arusha Giraffe lodge before and after a Northern Tanzania safari that I had booked. Upon arriving, the staff greeted me warmly with a warm, moist towel (I realized it was to allow me to wipe the dust off of my hands and face--not necessary from the ride to the airport but warmly welcomed following the safari!) and a glass of refreshing pineapple juice. The room exceeded expectations given the price I paid, complete with an ensuite bathroom, television, mini fridge, large comfortable leather chair, and large bed with mosquito netting. Air conditioning was provided as well. Showers were hot, though you did need to call the front desk for them to turn on the water pump--hardly a hassle though. The WiFi was also very accessible. I availed myself of the wet bar which was well stocked with local Tanzanian beers at a very reasonable price compared to the beers that I was charged on safari. The restaurant offered both a la carte and prix fixe three-course menu options. I went with the prix fixe menu both nights and was delighted with a delicious meal both times for only 20,000 TSH (~$9 USD). Breakfast both nights was standard and consisted of fresh fruit, delicious pancakes, toast, and sausages. My only criticisms were that the local area didn't appear that walkable and there was a considerable amount of noise from the local church and school.
