Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The staff were very friendly and helpful. They arranged our taxi in the morning and it all went smoothly. The hotel was spotlessly clean, and our room was on the small side, but very comfortable. The beds had mosquito netting, though it hardly seemed necessary. The toilet tank didn’t feel, but there was a water spray available to fill it manually, so it really wasn’t a problem. The restaurant on side was really pleasant. The vegetable curry was outstanding. The chicken rosemary was meager. The prices were very fair. We were able to bring wine from the restaurant to our room after dinner, which was convenient. The area was very congested, and it was challenging for our driver to find it. It felt chaotic and a little dangerous. We did not go out as it was late and we didn’t feel comfortable. All in all, it was fine for an In-and-out, delivered and picked up by taxi stay. Would probably choose something different if I was staying for a few days.

Great little hotel in Arusha
Stayed in McEllys for 8 nights in June/July 2015. A very comfortable, spotlessly clean and reasonably priced hotel situated just of Arusha main street. Staff were all excellent and helpful with very good English skills - reception, restaurant, bar, Manager and domestic staff all strived to make the stay smooth and pleasurable. Breakfast good and evening meals menu limited but well cooked, tasty and good value. Fantastic views of Mt Meru from some rooms and the roof. I would highly recommend McEllys as a comfortable and secure base for a visit to Arusha.

Impressed with personal service
We stayed in Arusha at McElly's for 2 nights, either side of a safari. Starting from before we checked in, The staff were all very helpful and willing to help. I emailed the hotel on a couple of occasions and I had lovely prompt replies from the manager Sayuko, which was very reassuring.We were only given one towel between two of us (as seems to be quite normal around these parts) and the extra towel asked for was promptly sent up to us. We also left some of our luggage at the hotel for 6 days while we went away on safari. this was no trouble to them at all. Sayuko also got us out of a jam when we wanted to change flight dates, and let us check out an hour or so late. My husband and I were particularly impressed to see him speak to each guest individually, making sure all was well. this was done both in reception, at breakfast and evening meal. The area around the hotel was not particularly wonderful, but that seems to be normal around the big cities. We did not feel particularly comfortable walking out at night and indeed were warned not to do so but get a taxi instead, particularly as it was round New Year's celebrations. We chose to eat in the hotel at nights.Not a problem during the day. All in all a very comfy stay.
