This is an oasis especially after days of safari! Dining room and lounge areas as well as patio seating provide lots of space and choice. Food is good. Staff are very friendly and attentive. Rooms are beautiful and comfortable. The breakfast is amazing with a lot of variety than 5 star hotels, they organize Kilimanjaro day for reasonable price than the safari company offers us

The staff were super friendly. They knew my name, allowed me to check in early and check out late. They were so helpful with any of my questions. My room (Simba!) was spotlessly clean. The bed super comfortable, and I didn't need to use the fan or the air-conditioning. I got a great, quiet night's sleep. Breakfast is good with a nice omelette and real filter coffee🤩, all on the roof terrace with a great city view. Using the washing machine was cheap, fast, and made everything clean and lovely again. And there's a place for a great massage 2 minutes walk away (Big Time Spa)

Everything was great! Excellent dinner and breakfast. Cecile and Marly are such great hosts, very polite which made you feel more than welcome. Great pool/bar and relaxing outdoor area. The cute dog Kilimanjaro made it even better. Thank you! We will come back.

My friends and I loved Mina Chai House and it was the highlight of our time in Arusha-- we even booked a second stay after our safari! The location is secure, the rooms/beds are super comfortable, and everything is spotless. Seriously, whoever cleans this house should get a raise. Zena, the manager, is a very warm person and made our stay feel like we were at home. We also had dinner at the property made by Asha and it was delicious (and they make it spicy if you ask, unlike a lot of places for tourists!). Stay here if you can! Even my friends who are used to luxury hotels said this place was lovely and wanted to come back a second time.

This is a very special place. A small scale lodge where you get your own little house. They are large, comfortable and clean. Most people generally stay here only one or two nights as a stop over during the Safari. We stayed a whole week. They really give you the feeling you are welcome, almost at home. Reception and bar are open 24/7. Basically, you can get everything you want there. The main attraction for us was the food. The kitchen here is better than any restaurant that I know of in Arusha. The one thing I can still not believe is the price. It is not even half the price of any similar lodge or hotel in the region. Thank you Yann, Joshepha and the entire team for unforgettable stay ❣️

From the warm welcome to the impeccably clean and comfortable rooms, this hotel truly impressed. The food was delicious, with a wide variety of options to please every palate. But what truly stood out was the outstanding customer service - friendly, attentive, and always ready to go the extra mile. Highly recommend!

    The room was clean and comfortable. Staff were friendly and helpful. The food at the restaurant was lovely, but it took a while to come. The hotel will arrange massages and other treatments upon request. The area is busy, full of hustle and bustle but it’s an ideal location to be picked up for a tour.

    Breakfast and dinner were great. The location is not so easy to access if you go alone, but with the help of locals you can easily reach the hotel, which is well known there. The place was also very clean and the rooms were well organized. It was super worth it for the price and length of stay. Zena is very sweet and friendly! And as for security, we were able to leave our bags in the rooms, which had locks, so it was super peaceful too.

    Comfortable and cozy budget hotel. Very friendly, sociable, pleasant, responsible, and polite staff. It's evident that they love their job. They prepare very tasty breakfasts; they even prepared a takeaway breakfast for us earlier than the scheduled time. We also dined there, and the chapatis were simply delicious. Good location not far from the main street, from where it's easy to take a taxi to the center for 5000 shillings (using the inDrive app).
