Arusha Backpackers is a very nice hostel. We stayed there before and after the safari for 3 nights in total. It's not a luxury hotel but for the price you pay you get all you need. The breakfast is a little buffet with bread, spread, cornflakes, dates and watermelon as well as coffee and different kind of teas. The washrooms are clean and the showers have hot water. The rooms are a little small but clean and the beds are comfortable. They have a big terrace on the roof where you can buy drinks. The staff is very very friendly. The location is perfect if you want to explore Arusha or go on safari. They have a big luggage room where you can leave your bags if you go on safari. All in all this is a very good Hostel and I would recommend to stay there.

They made us choose our room when we arrive! You have what you’re paying for. There is also hot water.
The staff couldn't really answers to our question about bus schedules to go to Dar. Each time we were asking a question at the reception (like for the bus schedules)they were sending us to a guy but we didn’t need someone to walk us to the bus station and then ask us for money. It is a weird way to “help” customers… We didn’t know if the guy was working for the hostel or not.

Great price, very central location, close to markets and to a big supermarket. There is a nice rooftop where to chill and have a meal (though the prices are a bit high). Im afraid there are some bugs in the big cushions of the rooftop as I had a lot of bites (and they were not from mosquitos nor my mattress). The breakfast is great. Staff is very kind, too. Bathrooms have toilet paper and soap and there is hot water. Very good value for money.

The location in the centre was amazing. The staff are super nice. The restaurant/Bar on the rooftop was amazing. Great place to chill and relax.
Some of the rooms don't have real Windows, but only mosquito nets that go to the corridor. Sou you can't close them, and you will hear everything on the corridor. (from the street too, because everything is kind of open) Additionnaly there is a lightbulb in front of the net which I couldn't switch off, and again, as we couldn't 'close' the mosquito nets, our room was completely lit throughout the night.

You get what you pay for. I stayed in 1 of the cheap single rooms and it was as basic as you could imagine however just what i expected. The staff are very helpful and the top level bar/restaurant area is nice. The location is fantastic and you can walk to so many places.
The toilet/shower combo is tiny however hot water is great. The breakfast is average however nice that it's offered and free. The bed was not very comfortable and limited bedding.

We had a twin room with windows and it was small but perfect for our needs. The rooms without windows may feel a bit like a closet. Nice, clean bathrooms with hot water. Rooftop restaurant/bar is nice and an interesting view over the busy main road.
It’s a bit loud at night but that was expected since it’s on the main road. Fine with earplugs. Breakfast is basic but ok.

Budget rooms in the city centre and walkable distance to the bus station. Hot water is available.
Weak WiFi, compact toilets. Breakfast could have been better instead of toast and cornflakes. People around the hostel ( in and out) want to sell you tour packages, a bit annoying.

For a hostel, Backpackers is exactly what a hostel is and for the price, it's hard to complain. The location is good. The staff was very nice, they gave me lots of advice and ordered a driver for me. Hot shower. Wifi on the rooftop lounge. Normal breakfast.
There were hairs in the bedsheets, but not my hair. So not very clean. For your information, the special single room is very very small and noisy. Again, for that price it's hard to complain! If you need more space and quiet, consider getting a normal room.

I liked the place. Very clean, comfortable plus the breakfast was good. It's very central so you can navigate the area and town easily. The rooms are well maintained and the bathrooms and toilets are really clean. Overall, a very nice place
Some staff can be unprofessional. I think that could be improved

The staff were absolutely fantastic. In particular I would like to mention Cherifal. He was so kind and ferrous with this time and knowledge. He really made my stay a memorable one. Thank you Cherifal. Facilities were maintained well and the location was fantastic. Close to everything from markets to shops and atms
The toilets where very small and pokie. Bit of street noise outside but expected in a main/busy area
