THE PLACE TO STAY BEFORE AND AFTER YOUR SAFARI

Property is popular with Pre and Post Safari tours. That is individuals/couples/groups usually stay overnight before going on safari and on their return. We stayed a total of three nights. Staff is great, good food, rooms are fine, slept well. Property is secured.

Service is Utterly Amazing!

Firstly the ambiance was so good in the hotel, The staff was so friendly and he helped us arrange a waterfall tour within our budget! The food for the breakfast was good, Variety of choices available. We had a early check out so we went out kept our bags at reception but then when we were back they allowed us to use the rooms to freshen up! This was an amazing stay overall and we couldn't have been more thrilled with their service. THANK YOU!

Quality accommodation close to town. We chose Ahadi Lodge to chill out following our 6 day, 5 night safari. We chose well. The staff were attentive and friendly particularly Ali and Monika who took care of us fantastically. The breakfast was excellent, fruit juice, fruit, cereal, eggs cooked to order, french toast with maple syrup, tea and coffee. The room was clean and tidy. The on site pool and sun loungers were great. Hotel is a couple of hundred metres down a dirt side road off the main road. We spent 5 nights here and felt very safe. Five minute taxi ride to town. Good choice for pre or post safari. Strongly recommend.

This was a wonderful little oasis in Arusha. Clean, good service. Great for a stopover, not much to see or do right around the lodge. The restaurant prices were higher than other things nearby, but otherwise a great stay.

Yes, I'd stay here again, friendly, secure.

Stayed Aug 25, 2017..Nice breakfast, eggs cooked to order. The driver (sent by hotel) who picked me ( a single woman) up at airport spoke excellent English & was very talkative & informative. Ahadi lodge is in residential area, down dirt road, secured/gated, as are most lodges in this country. Yes, I would stay here again.

Isolated hotel in Arusha

Ahadi is an walled complex in the middle of a slum just off the main highway in Arusha. The rooms are small with rough stone floors. Bathrooms are small with a shower that soaks the whole bathroom. The complex is used by tour companies for one night stays. There is no reason to choose Ahadi.

Good stop before safari

I had a pleasant stay at Ahadi lodge. I stayed overnight before and after my safari. The staff are very nice and friendly. The hotel is a little removed from town and not convenient for taking public transportation but the staff can call a taxi for you. Rooms show ware but they do have basic amenities including safe box tea/coffee, and kettle. Beds and pillows were too hard for me (I'm a side sleeper but it might work for back sleepers). Pool looks nice but the weather was too cold so I didn't use it. The complimentary breakfast was nice and included ceral, yogurt, fruit, juice, and eggs cooked to order. Management is fairly new and I was told they are in the process of renovating the lodge. Overall it worked for overnight stay.

Not Recommended for Business Work

There are lot of wrong information given about the lodge in Expedia in the room detailed description it is written there is TV and AC and actually there is no AC is the whole lodge and no TV . Even washrooms doesn't have doors, its just a curtain. Location is inside and road is not at all good. Limited option for food. Pool was dirty though it was not the season to swim but still its a hotel and they should maintain it properly. Staff was excellent and friendly.

This hotel is tucked away in the middle of a "neighborhood". Not only could you hear daily life happening around you regularly (good and bad), but when the cab driver turned to take me to the location I thought for sure he was mis-directing me. It's a lovely little oasis surrounded by chaos. Owners are amazing people, very friendly & helpful. As with most other places I visited in Africa, the general service is slow...but staff is also very friendly and will make sure you're taken care of. Food at the hotel was hit & miss...as was the electricity (which often went out, which of course affected the warm water and the wifi, even with generators). Livable, but not always the most convenient. I was not given the type of room/beds that I "purchased" through Expedia, but the room was clean and nice. I would have liked a chair to sit in, the room had very little/basic furnishings. I had to request a fan for the room as there was no AC available. It seemed to me for most guests this hotel was only the starting/ending point for a safari. Which is great...one night, maybe two at this location is fine; I however wouldn't really want to stay much longer.

Good meals - bad neighborhood

Patricia and her partner/husband are a lovely couple from Slovenia who operate and manage Ahadi Lodge. The chef is excellent and I had some really delicious dinners while staying here. The bartender, James, was very courteous and quick with service. Unfortunately, the two rooms in which I stayed did not have any A/C or fans, not even a ceiling fan. As a result, I was warm and unable to get fully comfortable in my hotel room, for sleeping. In addition, in both rooms I had, the beds were not comfortable; the mattresses were too soft and this hurt my back. One room had no shower curtain outside the shower, so when I did take a shower, the water sprayed all over the bathroom and even into the living area. I do not know why this room (#7) has no shower curtain. There was lots of hot water for bathing. But the neighborhood and the road leading from the main road to the lodge are terrible. The road is a dirt track, one car wide, and difficult to navigate. the neighborhood is plagued with feral (wild) dogs that howl and bay and bark throughout the night and this woke me up each and every night I was there. I never got a good night of sleep because of the bedding, the heat in the room and the outside noise of the dogs.

A gem in Arusha.

Extremely attentive and helpful owners. An oasis of kindness and attentiveness to individual needs. Best chef of all the places we stayed in Tanzania.

Dejlig oase.

Lille paradis med god betjening og vejledning og service. Roligt indenfor på hotelområdet, stor kontrast til området udenfor murene men de gjorde det spændende og ægte afrikansk.
