YOKO • Solo Trip

市内のほぼ中心地にあり、非常に便利でした。部屋も広く清潔で、お湯も問題なく使用できました。バルコニーから広いお庭が見えて美しかったです。テラスでの朝食が爽やかでとてもよかったです。スタッフの方々も親切でフレンドリーでした。チェックイン時間より早く到着したのですが、荷物を預かってくれたので助かりました。

Comfortable rooms, good breakfast, and incredibly welcoming and accommodating staff. For the price, the Equator is among the best in Arusha.

Accueil très agréable, literie très confortable. Parfait, tout est positif pour moi. Situation centrale dans la ville. Restaurant à des prix abordables pour éviter de sortir le soir. La réceptionniste a même accepté de changer de date de réservation au dernier moment. A recommander.

We stayed at Equator hotel 3 nights during our Safari in Tanzania, before, and after. The staff was always smiling and we enjoyed at lot of fist and elbow greetings. Our laundry was done very timely. The restaurant was spacious and the food was well prepared. Expedia didn’t contact them for our arrival but the Equator staff were able to accommodate us. We eve had a few words in Swahili taught to us by the staff.

The rooms were very clean, quiet, and comfortable. The restaurant had delicious food with a beautiful breakfast spread. Thank you to the front desk for being so helpful and coordinating rides for me! I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and would recommend Equator Hotel to anyone visiting Arusha.

The hotel is ideally located in the centre of Arusha. It has wonderful large garden and the spacious balcony of our room overlooked that garden. The rooms were also spacious with comfortable beds. The breakfast was varied with fruits, fresh pancakes and eggs at your choice prepared on the spot. The hotel might need a little update of the bathrooms but currently it is excellent value for money.

I came early and they allowed me to check in before noon. Friendly staff asked me did I need mosquito spray at night. Nice location near the centre.

Great place at downtown Arusha. The best rooms are the ones with the garden view. Very nice service and the Indian food at the restaurant was excellent.

This place is a really good deal for midrange budgets. Great value for money, close to the clocktower, a supermarket, the masaai market and restaurants. Definitely worth the money.

We stayed here for six days and loved it more and more. Nice big room with a balcony overlooking a large garden. Good and helpful staff. A hot shower, light bulbs, etc. are all functional. The included breakfast is too sugary by european standards, but if you ask, they will provide fresh yogurt from the Indian kitchen. Which, by the way, is quite good I had a few delicious meals there in the evenings. Choose veggie dishes and chapati wisely. There are no stomach issues after eating here. Staff are very friendly, and the hotel car will take you there when you want to go and pick you up later. As an elderly woman traveling alone, I felt very secure. An atm on the corner and a nice coffee shop african is right down the street.

It's a lovely old hotel that is conveniently situated, only steps from the clock tower. Service is friendly and efficient, security is good, and the yard is beautiful. The wifi connection was pretty quick and reliable. The Indian food I had in the restaurant was tasty.

4.2/526 Aug 2023

The food here was good, and I can tell you if it's the greatest indian cuisine I've ever had. But I was very cautious as to whether they would be able to meet the demands because of how extensive the menu is. The location is also pretty strategic and it has beautiful peaceful gardens. Even though this place was so big, I was skeptical because everything was so fresh and amazing. Plus, the employee gave me the best vegan and vegetarian food and my partner assured me that the meat was better than mine.

This is not a 5-star hotel, but is reasonably priced. Great location near the clock tower, spacious rooms with movie nets, comfortable beds, and balconies overlooking the garden. Indian cuisine was excellent and very reasonably priced. Breakfast is good, albeit a little random, but still eggs, toast, fruit, yogurt, some hot dishes, and so on. The staff is just lovely. When we arrived, the room safe was locked closed, and the shower did not have hot water, but both issues were quickly resolved. The bathroom appeared to be a little worn out, but it was clean.

4.2/59 Jul 2022

Definitely this hotel. Clean and big room. Nice balcony with a great garden view. The helpful and kind staff. The breakfast is very specialized in Indian, Asian, and African food. Strong wifi. Reasonable price. Close to the center and the massa market.
