The lift is excellent. It was very noisy due to "Taxi" drivers trying to drum up business. Bathroom was very basic, no hot water, toilet gave the impression it was about to leave the wall. Lunch on our first day was delicious, cooked by a couple of women, so good in fact we thought we'd order the same for dinner,... More

At first glance McElly's Hotel is impressive with its five stories and its elevator. However, our room was small and basic. There was no art or decoration on the walls. The one nice touch was the mosquito screen around the bed with woven, decorative borders. If one opens the window for some fresh air, the street noise can disrupt sleep.... More

Good hotel for an en-route...1 or 2 nights. Centrally located so as explore Arusha. The price you pay is what you get. KES. 3200 is quite cheap for any Kenyan. Wi-fi is free and available only at the lobby. Cable channels not as clear. Bed are very comfortable but the sheets need to be changed,their lifetime is over. Food is... More

not very centrally located, food in comparison to town rather expensive, breakfast very basic, restaurant and bar with neon lights and TV running not very comfortable. rooms are clean and ok, but you shouldnt expect too much. its ok for a transfer between mountains and safari.

I thought this hotel was very good value and convenient for the night before and after our safari. AC, Wifi, good shower all at a good price. The morning breakfast wasn't too exciting but the service was good.

During my trip to East Africa, I stayed in many hotels, inns and lodges and this sadly, was the bottom of the pile. It was live-able in for one night but, I was glad when the morning came. Got bitten by bugs which didn't really happen in other hotels. The bathroom was not great. If you have other options, take... More

I have never seen a hotel of such standard with very poor internet connectivity during my stay in many hotels in East Africa. I complained the first night but the friendly manager told me that he would sort out the next day. During the next three days stay in the hotel the problem still persisted. The room is small and...

Very comfortable, clean room & excellent value in the heart of Aurusha. We were very pleased with this hotel. Our room was set up smartly for travelers- with a place to put your suitcase, hang clothes, hang your hat and still have room to work at a table. McEllys has a friendly staff, a very comfortable bed, hot shower, &... More

My husband and I stayed at McElly's over New Year, either side of a Safari. Before we left UK I emailed the hotel about 3 times for some information and the replies came back really quickly and I felt the person replying (who was the manager) sounded lovely and helpful. I was not disappointed during our stay. In fact all... More
