Guest Reviews
- TING (2/5): not a friendly hotel - I booked double bed on the hotel.com . when I checked in they said only single bed is available and it took forever to check in. there was no staff but a security guard. The information you get on hotel.com is unreliable. Beware!
- Samir (10/5): Respect - La gentillesse de la famille
- Anne-Kristin (8/5): Trygt og godt i sentrum av Arusha - Raha Leo Inn er perfekt hvis du vil bo trygt, billig og greit i sentrum av Arusha. Betjeningen er veldig hyggelig og hjelpsom.
- Jose (8/5): - It was cozy and quite.
- Jose (8/5): - It was cozy and quiet.
- Glorious (4/5): - The price was very fair in the middle of the city.
The only concern was the toilets. They are clean but the knees touches the wall when sitting on the toilets
- Terumi (8/5): - The staff were very friendly and helpful. On the first night, we didn’t have a hot shower, which was a bit disappointing, but the water was lukewarm the next day.
The area gets quite noisy on Saturday nights, sometimes until late at night. It might not be ideal for a long stay, but it’s a great place for a short stay.
- Lucas (2/5): Avoid at all costs – they took my money and gave m - I had a terrible experience with this hotel. I arrived with a confirmed and prepaid booking, only to be told at reception that the hotel was fully booked and they had no room for me. Despite the fact that I had already paid, I was forced to find another hotel at the last minute, late in the evening.
To make matters worse, the hotel has refused to refund me for the night I never stayed. This is unacceptable and feels like outright theft.
Save yourself the trouble – this place is completely unreliable and dishonest.
- John (10/5): - Really great deal for the price. Excellent staff. Interesting guests. Very talkative roosters nearby. Great places to shop and eat nearby. Highly recommend.
- Serafina (10/5): - Schöne Anlage und sauberes Zimmer. Ich wurde sehr nett empfangen und habe mich gleich wie Zuhause gefühlt. Mwinyi war ein großartiger Gastgeber und Freund während des Aufenthaltes. Gutes Frühstück und Unterkunft insgesamt sehr preiswert! Ich würde definitiv wieder kommen!
- Martine (8/5): - Lovely inn at a very central location. I was clean and tidy. Bathroom was functional. We enjoyed our stay!
- Jordi (6/5): - A valorar en positivo que se encuentra en pleno centro de Arusha y que pese a ello está bastante bien insonorizado. Las mosquiteras pueden ser necesarias de noche ya que las habitaciones no están bien aisladas.
A destacar en negativo que no fue posible ducharse con agua caliente; la solución a este problema fue ducharse con un cubo de agua caliente.
El desayuno incluido es aceptable teniendo en cuenta el precio por habitación.
- Vincent (6/5): - It was our second time at the Raha Leo Inn in less than a week. This time we had a room that the shower did not have hot water, and just a little water, the young man forgot to book our taxi driver and lies about it after. But the young lady (manager) took care of everything after. For the price and for an over night it is very good.
- Vincent (10/5): - Located next to stadium, very clean and amazing staff. Even accompaign us when we wanted to go and get food ti reataurant after 6:00 pm for security. Strongly recommend. Best quality for best price.
- Thomas (8/5): - En plein centre de ville, il y a un tout petit espace de verdure au sein de cet hôtel. Pour un prix si modique, c'est appréciable.
- Peter (10/5): No need for a fancy hotel, Raha Leo Inn is perfect - The workers at the hotel were extremely helpful. Location in Arusha could not have been better, right next to the town's center, museums and football pitch. Beautiful courtyard setup and excellent free breakfast. The rooms themselves were great, nice bathroom and comfy beds. If I return to Arusha I will be staying here again.
- Susanne (10/5): - Simple and low cost accomodation for 1 night, very friendly staff, would choose it again
- Tristan (10/5): - Everything perfect, as usual!
- Mathieu (10/5): Highly recommended ! - Very good stay at Raha Leo, very friendly staff and good price/quality ratio !
- Verified traveler (8/5): - friendly staff, clean and spacious room.
WiFi worked fine.
Poor tv reception.
Motorcycle taxis make the location pretty noisy.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Oasis in downtown Arusha - Great value in the center of Arusha. It's a quiet, peaceful, and welcoming place to stay within easy walking distance of the bus terminal. My room was a little small, but it was very clean and they offer a daily cleaning service if you want it. Mosquito net, hot water, good security, standard breakfast included, and friendly, helpful staff! Look no further if you need a solid budget option in Arusha!
- Verified traveler (10/5): Repeat stay! - Repeat stay (same review).
Great value in the center of Arusha. It's a quiet, peaceful, and welcoming place to stay within easy walking distance of the bus terminal. My room was a little small, but it was very clean and they offer a daily cleaning service if you want it. Mosquito net, hot water, good security, standard breakfast included, and friendly, helpful staff! Look no further if you need a solid budget option in Arusha!
- Rachel (10/5): Un super point de chute ! - Une très bonne expérience dans cet hotel bien situé à Arusha.
Le personnel était aux petits soins pour nous et nous à donné de bons conseils pour manger le soir.
L'endroit est calme, agréable et propre.
Le rapport qualité-prix est imbattable !
Si nous revenons à Arusha, nous resterons de nouveau avec plaisir au Raha Leo Inn
- MARK (10/5): My First Choice in Arusha - An excellent stay in a very quiet Oasis ,yet near to everything.Super friendly staff who anticipated my needs.
Sure the rooms aren't big and the bathroom is positively minute but it's still a 10/10 for me.
Given what you pay.
So many moaners expect 5 star for 2 star prices.
Get real
- Jean-Philippe (10/5): - Overall great. Bed are too short for 6'1. We would return. Staff is great and hotel is clean. Food is good.
- Roger (8/5): Perfect but small, low-cost safari base. - Raha Leo is the perfect location for short stays before and after a safari. It’s well located within Arusha. The rooms are small but clean and the staff are really friendly and helpful. The breakfast consists of fruit, coffee/tea and eggs of your choice.
In summary the stay is good value at just over $20 per night (at the time of staying). I would definitely stay here again when in Arusha.
- Jess (6/5): - Located a 2 min walk from the local street market in town. Staff were all very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was pretty standard for Tanzania (eggs, toast and fruit). The room really wasn't very nice and needs a desperate upgrade. Mosquito net wasnt fitted properly and didnt cover the bed. Terrible sewer smell coming from the bathroom, uncomfortable mattress. We booked here as it was a reasonable price for the town centre, but in hindsight Arusha itself isnt very nice so we would stay further out in a different hotel.
- rj (10/5): - Fabulous affordable place walkable to eveyt6in Arusha. Super nice people, excellent communication.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - The room was clean. Be cautious that the room does not have an AC and the window will let in mosquitoes. However, we were here for one night and it was good for the price. Breakfast was a very small portion but not bad. The staff could have been more friendly and helpful.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Lovely, cosy place to stay at. Excellent WiFi. It is as advertised.
- Kylie (10/5): Quiet, clean & very good value - Quiet, family run guesthouse in a handy position in Arusha. Staff are kind and helpful (especially the new receptionist!) I slept very well and if you like they can cook you a meal to save you going out. Asante Sana!
- Gretchen (10/5): - This is a simple hotel, with small rooms. But everything is clean & the staff is great. A great deal for the price & highly recommend
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Schöne ruhige Unterkunft mit freundlichem Personal. Einziges manko ist das das Dusch Wasser kalt ist zumindest in unseren Zimmer. Aber wer nichts gegen eine kalte Dusche hat ist hier genau richtig.
- Houda (10/5): Agréable séjour à Arusha - Un hôtel avec un personnel très agréable et serviable.
La localisation de l'hôtel est très pratique, près de la station de bus et des commerces.
- Jackal (10/5): - The owner was excellent and helped me out of a pickle as my driver didn't come on time to pick me up for my climb to Killimanjaro. He phoned the hotel multiple times to arrange for them to come over.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Nice plac. Helpful staff. A bit noisy in the night
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Im raha Leo arbeiten ausschließlich sehr nette Menschen, das Personal ist super hilfsbereit und sehr freundlich. Für den sehr günstigen Preis ist es absolut empfehlenswert. Es liegt super praktisch nur max 10 Gehminuten von der central busstation entfernt. Super gute und zentrale Lage und vor allem trotzdem sehr leise dort! Moskitonetze vorhanden und Abholung vom Flughafen kilimandjaro problemlos und zuverlässig.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Nice, friendly and helpful staff, the room was clean and tidy, awesome breakfast!
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Hôtel très propre, personnel très gentil,
Bon petit dejeuner, salade de fruits frais, œufs, toasts grlleés, beurre, confiture, jus d’orange mais café innstantané
- ISABEL (10/5): - Un hotel muy agradable, habitaciones sencillas pero todo muy limpio y ordenado. Muy buena relación calidad precio.. la ducha estaba unida al inodoro pero algo común en la zona.. todo estaba limpio. El desayuno muy sencillo pero correcto. La chica de recepción muy amable. Por poner un pega.. las mosquiteras son más incómodas que las que están puestas con dossel.. pero totalmente recomendable!!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - very clean, well maintained facilities, super friendly and helpful staff
- Daniel (8/5): - Einfaches aber sehr gepflegtes Hotel im Stadtzentrum mit tollem Service!
