We slept here a few times. The location is good, bit out of city centre, but with a taxi all what you need is close by. Some rooms are better than others. Our favourite room is room D. This room comes with a balcony. If you check in, it'sbmaybe wise to check the room, as size and brightness differs a... More

I stayed in this hotel just for a couple of nights in January 2013. The room was very small, which I expected to be for the price I payed, however the behaviour of the hotel management was unacceptable. I was accused of stomping over a towel, making it extremely dirty.... Would not actually let me leave unless I paid for... More

We moved from the Outpost Lodge to La Jacaranda for our last night in Arusha, as the Outpost was booked out for this night. Despite the cost being similar, the Jacaranda was nothing like the Outpost. Our room was dingy, dark, gloomy and the whole place had a very poor ambiance. It was clean, but pretty basic. The reception area,... More

Our stay in this hotel in December 2012 was horrible. The service personal was impolite and even hostile from the beginning. When my girlfriend and I kindly asked for a second bed sheet (we don't like using one sheet together) at 8.45 p.m., we were told that we cannot have a second sheet, as this were "against hotel policy". When... More

Stayed at La Jacaranda for five nights before and after Mt Kilimanjaro climb and was supprised at the poor standard of the rooms, however I need to remind myself that this was Tanzania and not judge it according to past experiances in other countries. The rooms have no coffee or tea making facilities, the room got no service while I... More

We stayed here on two occasions. First time we got a fancier room near the restaurant which was really nice. Second time we were sent to the cheaper "wing" on the back of the hotel. It wasn't anything special but not too bad either being quite cheap. Food in the expensive restaurant is hit and miss, sometimes you get good,... More

Rooms a little dated, but clean and the bed was very comfortable. Excellent location a short walk from the centre of Arusha, welcoming staff, decent breakfast in lovely garden setting. Wifi only in reception and not in the rooms.

Cheap friendly place to stay in busy Arusha. Convenient for town and generally affordable which is why we were there. Room was ok - not exactly wonderful but for the price that's what you expect. Clean enough, and bed comfy. For me the downside was the bathroom which was so unbelievably small you can hardly fit yourself in there to... More

We stayed at the Jacaranda in August and were given charming Zanzibar room, which sports handcrafted wooden furniture (including a fourposter bed), bow-windows looking out at the garden and a large, very clean bathroom. Really enjoyed it! The atmosphere is cosmopolitan and relaxed and not so packaged-tour-touristy compared to other places in Arusha. Food is good. There are probably several... More
