Hostels in Iringa

My husband and I stayed six nights in the hostel, although we originally only planned for two. The hostel just opened and its owner Enok works hard to make it an even more beautiful place. Although some things like wifi and sometimes warm water did not work yet, it was the welcoming atmosphere and great support from Enok and his lovely family as well as the location, that made us extend our stay. The Hostels location is only about 500m from the city's bustling center but it still feels like you are out of town. Vervet Monkeys are roaming the trees and a chamaleon crossed our path. Enoks dog is also very friendly. The rooms were clean, breakfast was plenty with fresh fruits from the garden and the employee Husna even washed our clothes for a small fee. We had a great time and hope to be back one day!

We booked Hidden Valley Backpackers for a break in a busy holiday schedule and it proved perfect. The neighbourhood was quiet, not too far a walk from Iringa centre and the staff were friendly and helpful. The on-site bar and pool room was a great place to hang out in the evening and it served a range of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. It was also a great base from which to explore local sights such as the rock paintings at Igeleke and the stone pillars at Isimila. Highly recommended and great value for money.
