The hotel is quite an unexpected gem and the decor is absolutely beautiful. The location is also superb and quite central. The porter was friendly and very thorough which was great. The only downside is that the receptionist was cold and a bit rude. This will still be my new go to in Arusha. Love it!!

Someone at work booked this on my behalf and I failed to check it out in advance or check other options. My heart sunk as I walked in as I realised it was very dated and the stay would likely be awful. It ended up not being too bad all things considered, but is not "nice". It is very dated and needs a refurb. The rooms are massive but not nice with old and tired decor. Cleanliness wasn't great but also wasn't terrible. Hot water availability not too bad, and internet surprisingly good. The bed was hard but quite comfortable. Breakfast was a complete disaster - not open on time, and it's one of those awful places where they lazily cook everything the night before then put it in the chafing dishes to warm up in the morning. So the food is not fresh but worse, if you're early to breakfast it's also cold. The coffee is also terrible. I am glad I only stayed for 2 nights, and the location is good for business. Overall, it was ok for a secondary town in Africa, but there must surely be better options available locally.

Not recommended at all. Dirty room, mold on the walls, staff very strange and unfriendly. The breakfast buffet looked disgusting and unappetizing, as if it were leftovers from the day before, and there were flies all over it. The bed was so hard that we woke up completely exhausted; even the floor is more comfortable. Not recommended at all.

Great hotel in European style. If you compare with other hotels in Tanzania you can feel here like in real great place. Good food. Clean, nice, with working AC (not everywhere is this working). Nice view on monte Meru.

Ok for one night. The room was comfortable including the bed. It was a corner room so quite spacious. Didn’t really encounter many staff to make judgement. The guy who showed me to the room was very friendly. Breakfast room was not very pleasant. Many tables half used and not cleaned and reset even at 6.30am. As a solo person I had to sit at a table for 6/8. Buffet was below average and certainly not 4* standard. Staff chatting to each other. No service to speak of, other than to confirm I could sit anywhere when I finally found someone to ask. Probably would not choose again if I returned. The plus is that it is centrally located, so easy to access restaurants.

Stayed here during a safari trip with family. The rooms were spacious and clean, and the staff went out of their way to make us feel welcome. Great value for the price—especially with the included breakfast and spa access. The location is central, just a short walk to the Arusha Clock Tower and local markets. The highlight was the TWIGA Dining Room with views of Mount Meru. Perfect spot to relax before heading out to the Serengeti or Kilimanjaro. Would definitely stay again!
