Seven Seven B&B, Arusha

Seven Seven B&B stands out as a tranquil, family-run bed and breakfast on a quiet street 5 km from Arusha Airport, offering garden and mountain views from its sun terrace and upstairs balcony. The property provides family rooms with private bathrooms, kitchen facilities, refrigerators, tea and coffee makers, and TVs, while the Deluxe Single Room features a comfortable bed and a good shower. Guests can enjoy a shared kitchen, daily housekeeping, a 24-hour front desk, a lounge, and free on-site private parking, with pets welcome. Breakfast at Seven Seven B&B includes continental, American, buffet, Italian, full English/Irish, vegetarian, and vegan options, and home-cooked dinners-such as chapatis by Violet-are praised as some of the best food in Arusha. The bar and communal meals foster a social atmosphere where travelers easily connect, and free WiFi is available throughout. The staff, particularly manager Elias, Deus, and Violet, are consistently noted for their warmth and helpfulness, with Elias organizing Kilimanjaro treks (e.g., the 6-day Machame route) and Serengeti safari transfers. The property's location, a short 10-minute drive from the city center, makes it a convenient base for exploring Arusha's coffee plantations, Mataruni waterfalls, hot springs, and cultural sites, though guests note that motorbike taxis to town cost 7000-10000 shillings each way. A paid shuttle service to the airport and town is available, and the peaceful, nature-surrounded setting leaves guests feeling safe and at home, with one reviewer describing it as the best hub for Safari and Kilimanjaro adventures. Seven Seven B&B also offers a tour desk for arranging local excursions, and the manager's guidance enhances the experience for solo travelers, couples, and friends alike.

The staff, especially Elias, Deus, and Violet, are exceptionally kind, helpful, and go out of their way to assist guests.

Home-cooked meals, including breakfast with fresh fruit and chapatis, are delicious and generous in portion.

The peaceful, quiet location on the edge of town provides a restful stay, with easy access to the airport and safari start points.

Rooms are clean, cozy, and look exactly like the pictures, with beautiful views of the mountain and lush greenery from the balcony.

The shuttle service to town is affordable and convenient, and the communal dinners make it easy to meet other travelers.

The property is located on a dirt road with no sign at the gate, making it difficult to find without Google Maps or a driver who knows the area.

The city center is not within walking distance, so guests need to rely on motorbike taxis or the hotel's shuttle service, which adds extra cost.
