Welcoming hotel slightly out of town, amidst green surroundings, quiet and relaxing. The rooms are not large, but simple and clean. Very efficient mosquito net on the bed. Restaurant and bar with a wide choice, especially of Indian (even Afghan!) food of good quality. I read reviews with concern about the staff service. Things must have improved by now, because...

clean, basic rooms. i'd stay again for sure. the receptionist does not understand what you are saying properly at all which is really frustrating. the breakfast is all right. the view from the rooms is great - you can see the mountain. its also very peaceful.

It is a great hotel in a good location by Tanzanian standard. It is well run and I would stay there again for business purposes. The owner is very welcoming and did greet me when I arrived when I stayed last year. I have stayed there twice now and both occasions was the same standard.

I've been here a few times. The rooms are quaint and comfortable. The food is fantastic with a mix of local foods, Indian food, great pizzas, and the usual hotel menu. They have a nice outdoor patio for dining with a nice mix of music. They show soccer games outside on a large 'screen' as well. The front desk staff... More

Once again I found myself at the homely Arc Hotel; been some good things happening since my last visit; waiters all spruced up, breakfast has improved with muesli, butter and cheese now on the breakfast table ... so I imagined more waiters meant better service. Sadly, this was not the case. My first encounter with a clueless waiter was excused,... More

It was a somewhat unpleasant surprise to read this review. Our management is taking it most seriously. Three of our waiters have no clue as to what they serve our guests. We had to enquire. The situation reminds me of a restaurant visit to one of the elegant restaurants on the Belgian coast a few years ago. I asked the... More

Enjoyable one night stay out of the noise of Morogoro. Bedrooms excellent and host Swen pleasant company. Wasn't that enamoured of the menu wth the emphasis on chicken in all its forms but enjoyed the meal and the wine nontheless. Company helped and service good. Recommended and will stay here again next time through. Pool would be a great addition... More

We did not know that the buccaneer was staying with us; had we known we surely would have made a special effort to offer a special meal with emphasis on anything but chicken. Our most recent addition to the menu is lasagna, prepared the way the Italians do it (we hope!?). We therefore also hope that ‘next time’ our buccaneer... More

This is my fourth visit & I can positively recommend this hotel to everybody visiting Morogoro, I have previously stayed in most of the hotels here & this one stands out with excellent views, very good food, polite staff.

It always is encouraging to receive a good review, especially from a seasoned traveler as Mr ‘Ahan’ who appears to be Kenyan. In fact hotels in Kenya continue to inspire us to do a better job. I cannot but agree that the view from the Arc towards the Uluguru Mountains is just stunning; it is also most appreciated that our... More

Stayed in the Suite for a week and it was very nice and comfortable. The water was out one morning but was fixed by the time we returned from working that evening.

We are well aware of the problem with the water pressure; especially during these days before the wet season starts, do we have these problems all over Morogoro. The bed mattresses: some like them soft other prefer them hard; but this comment also gives food for thought: when our mattresses need to be renewed, maybe we should offer rooms with... More

We always hope to be a pleasant surprise to our guests; indeed on 26 September it was a pleasant surprise also for us to host Mr 'Wildpix'. After our front office staff first thought that they had made a mistike, it turned out that the reservation was made under a different name. In any case we are happy that our... More
