Karibu. Nice place but a little bit far from the center. For someone who wants to escape city's noises and has a mean of transportation. People are welcoming, nice and very helpful.

Very close to the airport - great if you're turning up late at night and just need somewhere to lay your head. Good value (internationally) but a little expensive by Tanzanian standards.
