Thanks to your information we stayed at the Hotel Flamingo in Arusha Tanzania. It was everything the reviewers stated. The location was fine and the rate almost unbelievably inexpensive. Ian the owner is very accommodating and will help in any way he can. It is "barebones" but clean. The mosque is with ear shot but not enough to make the... More

3 of us spent 3 nights here, nice location, clean. Friendly English speaking staff. Close to market, internet cafe, bus station. Modest prices/night included breakfast.Be aware of the 5am wakeup call by the chanting over the loudspeakers from nearby mosques! Recommend staying here.

We chose this hotel because of the good reviews on Trip Advisor and we weren't disappointed. The hotel is close to the main area and we found everything we wanted within walking distance, little supermarket, ATM, local restaurants (give Kharns BBQ a try), fruit market, local shops and airline office. The hotel staff have excellent English and are very keen... More

I chosed this hotel because it was very close to the bus station. I paid $25 for 1 night single room with breakfast included. The room was clean and comfortable and breakfast was very nice. The girl at the reception was very kind and disposed to answer my questions. The only negative thing I can say about this hotel is... More

I was looking for a budget/mid-range place to stay in Arusha and did not like those suggested in the guide book. By chance I stumbled on Hotel Flamingo and was very happy with my stay there - simple and clean rooms, very friendly and close to the centre of town - good value for money and recommended.

The Flamingo Hotel is in the heart of Arusha, just a couple minutes from the Central Market and the main bus terminal. Arusha itself isn't really much to write home about but pretty much everyone stays in this city before and after their Northern Circuit safaris. The rooms and the hotel itself are spotless. A small army of staff work... More

My boyfriend and I spent 2 nights before our safari and one night afterwards at the Flamingo Hotel in Arusha. The hotel is right in the heart of Arusha on a bustling street near the central market and bus station. The room was clean, the bed was comfortable and had a mosquito net. We also appreciated that there was hot... More

I stayed overnight at Hotel Flamingo before safari. I arrived by bus from Moshi so appreciated the reasonably close proximity. I elected to carry my own 2 bags which elicited chuckles and laughs from a number of locals. I cannot get a taxi for two blocks - just can't do it. I booked via email and was offered the local's...

A lovely hotel to spend my first few days in Arusha, great staff and very clean! Ian, the manager, is a friendly guy who always takes the time to talk if he's around. The staff are all very nice and they clean the hotel every spare moment they have! Considering the dust outside in Arusha, the hotel is impeccably clean... More
