Ciao Stefano,
noi siamo stati all'hotel Mezza Luna a novembre del 2002, prima di partire
per il safari, siamo arrivati ad Arusha alle 2 di notte l'hotel era aperto e
ci hanno lasciato la camera che avevamo prenotato.
Non č nulla di eccezionale, ma č pulito ed ha un ristorante dove puoi
mangiare abbastanza bene (limita gli ordini perchč le porzioni sono
esagerate).
Il tutto era gestito da un italiano.
Ha proposito con quale agenzia farai il safari?
Ciao Diego e Annalisa.

The restaurant is excellent (italian owners)

The accommodations are small but comfortable at a very good price.
The restaurant is one of the best in Arusha. The band is entertaining
as well.

Enjoy.

I was lucky enough to have lived across the road from Mezza Luna about 3
years back. Not a bad hotel, very thin walls, so you can hear everything
going on in your neighbours room. It is relatively comfortable though.

The best parts were the band, who we called the "tired band". These guys
used to perform every night at the hotel, and you could see they were very
set in their routine, and were pretty bored with it. They were however very
entertaining, as it often looked like the drummer was falling asleep while
playing, and the lead siner, a big old guy, used to carry a half jack on
Konyagi (a Tanzanian type white spirit) in his trouser pocket, and get
pretty wasted. The more wasted he became, the louder he would sing, it was
excellent. As a treat, the owner would come and sing with them every now and
again, it was really entertaining. Ask them to sing Americano with the
owner... I think they will be pretty shocked that you know it.

Best regards

Rodger

Not to mention the *acrobats* on Sundays. Not to be missed!

I didn't see the original post, but stayed in Arusha recently, at the
Arusha Coffee Lodge. I'd thoroughly recommend it.

I second the nomination for the Arusha Coffee Lodge-wake up and smell the
freshly brewed coffee, feel the warmth of the fireplace in your room.. Was
there in January --charming working coffee plantation on the west side of
town-conveniently five minutes from Arusha Airstrip (private charters).
Closest to 5-star you will find in Arusha. Good food, good service and a
nice view of Mt. Meru..

Read about them and see photos on this website:

see the section entitled "detailed description, price and reservations.

I'm green with envy....Felicia

The Arusha Coffee Lodge is great. But not in the same price group as
Mezza Luna. Also, not a recommended place if you want to walk to
town. But it is the best Arusha has to offer.
