Loved my stay at mufasa city hostel. I stayed in dorms and rooms both. And they both are a very good value for money. I booked with them thrice. The place is secure and safe for female solo travellers, naomi and other staff members are very helpful and welcoming. The beds are comfortable and the view of Mt. Meru from the terrace is exceptional. Highly recommend this place if you are in arusha!

The power outage during daytime. So please charge your devices in the night. I think this is the issue in most of the places in tanzania. Also the geyser in the bathroom gives hot water only for a few seconds and then cold water. So be ready for the sudden temperature change :D other than that everything is fantastic and i loved the place. :)

The staff were super friendly. They knew my name, allowed me to check in early and check out late. They were so helpful with any of my questions. My room (Simba!) was spotlessly clean. The bed super comfortable, and I didn't need to use the fan or the air-conditioning. I got a great, quiet night's sleep. Breakfast is good with a nice omelette and real filter coffee🤩, all on the roof terrace with a great city view. Using the washing machine was cheap, fast, and made everything clean and lovely again. And there's a place for a great massage 2 minutes walk away (Big Time Spa)

Everything was great.

This is my third time here, it's a great hostel, and I always meet other wonderful travellers here , who become friends.

The toilet roll seemed to often empty, so I had to keep going to the laundry room to replenish. I extended my booking 3 times and each time the price goes up , which was very annoying . Plus the website prices were all over the place , showing in the hundreds for 3 nights and the dorms weren't even showing up . The bunk I was in in Nyati was extremely squeaky , disturbing fellow guests.

AMAZING VALUE. I had a special offer for three days and I didn't regret moving from another place. Plus I was alone in a dorm, basically I had a single room. The receptionist is a great girl, very interesting and speaks perfect English. The area is not very central, but it is interesting, the real Arusha, btw 20 min waling from the main street, doable.

The place is all very new and clean, but I saw some "undesired guests" in the kitchen one night, not very pleasant insects, and again the morning after. But ok, it is Africa and you can find such things. They sprayed, and the things disappeared completely. The staff listens and cares if you say things and this is good.

The location was very convenient and the staff very friendly and helpful. I really loved the location and the staff were really warm and friendly.

There was some miscommunication over my payment. While the room was discounted to TZS14,000 on booking.com + TZS4,000 city tax. My payment on booking.com was unsuccessful, but I was surprised when I was asked to pay more than TZS20,000 on arrival. It would be useful to have been contacted in advance to have been prepared.

Good apartment with the best shower I had in Africa, and all the facilities are of good quality. We arrived by bus from far away after 11 pm, and within 10 seconds of ringing the bell, we were already checked into the apartment. The breakfast is good.

There is no reception or someone you can talk gave to face and get basic information like how to get a taxi, or how much a taxi should cost and so. Other than that the communication is good and you have the phone number in the apartment where you can call and get immediate answer

Loved this hotel. They had clean and spacious rooms. Very friendly and helpful staff. They were always kind. Also nice facilities like a restaurant and laundry. The incredible value and convenient location makes for a nice short stay in Arusha. I highly recommend staying here if you're visiting!

Water in the shower goes cold after a couple of minutes. Just have to turn it off for a minute and back on. Also sometimes it can be noisy outside (busy road).

We (we are a couple) spent 2 nights at Mufasa city Hostel and Apartments. The hotel is in a good location. Easy to get to from the airport and quickly reach the city center, supermarket and restaurant. There are opportunities to eat and drink in the area. A very nice lady from the staff prepares tasty breakfasts. The rooms and bathrooms are clean. I highly recommend it. Pawel

Comfy compact hostel in easy to reach location handy to many services and shops. Great staff. Really friendly. Bathroom modern and spotless.

The rooms are small if all 4 beds are occupied, and there is limited locker space. There is a tiny water heater for showers so could be a very long wait if there are 8 people in residence. The choice of high volume shower heads is out of whack for the hw available.

This is the cleanest hostel I’ve ever visited in Africa! Great location — within walking distance to a supermarket, local market, and the bus station. WiFi was solid, around 30 to 40 Mbps. I was able to use the kitchen. Laundry service is available, and they also accept card payments. Hot water was always available too. Highly recommend!

No plug next to my bed
