We concluded our 10 trip at the Kibo Palace and had a very nice, 2 night stay. The staff was friendly and welcoming, the service was good and the food options were vast and delicious. Being a vegetarian, I was very happy to see many choices! We enjoyed sitting by the pool in the evening, although it would be nice to have some lounge chairs to relax by the pool in addition to the table and chairs. The grounds around the pool were well maintained and you didn't realize you were in the city. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Recently, my wife, friends and I stayed at Kibo Palace. Kibo Palace is a fairly new, very quiet and clean, modern hotel in Arusha. The staff was extremely friendly, welcoming and always desiring to help. Because we were moving on to our safari, we only spent one night at Kibo but before we departed in the morning, we had a wonderful breakfast in the dining room. We would definitely stay here again and would highly recommend Kibo Palace.

Pros: it is a good, walkable location. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The room was nice and seemed clean. |Cons: the toilet was leaking, and I slipped in the water and almost fell before noticing it. I see that was mentioned in another review, which makes me think that ongoing maintenance is not happening. There is quite a bit of road noise in the rooms facing the road. The pool is lovely but, but as with most hotels in the area, not heated, so only usable when it's very hot outside. It was too cold in June.

Stayed in this hotel for 2 nights. We had 2 rooms, which were big and clean. The furnishings are a bit dated but nothing to complain about. Food was good, with good choice and good service. A great place to stay whilst visiting Arusha.

The Kibo Palace hotel is in a very good location and was a good option as a stop over after arriving from a long international flight before embarking on a safari adventure. Check in was very good and we were given our room a good few hours before the official check in time.|All the staff we encountered were very helpful and we were always met with a smile! |Special shout out to Bernard, Jumapili and Vicent who really looked after us. |We had breakfast and lunch and there were lots of options to choose from.

The hotel sits on Nyerere Road in central Arusha, a short 7-minute walk from the Arusha Clock Tower, a handy landmark for getting your bearings. The central business district is about a 10-minute walk away, so shops, banks, and everyday services are close by. The Cultural Heritage Centre is 4.5 km out, and Arusha National Park is 20.6 km away, so those are trips rather than strolls. Around the hotel, you will find a mix of local spots like the Jazz Bar, Piza Point Bar, and Dream Time Restaurant within about 100 meters, with Mang Tree Bar & Lounge a bit further at 450 meters. The hotel's own Kilimanjaro Restaurant and Lounge Bar offer easy dining on site. It is a practical, walkable base for the city center, with nature and culture a short drive away.

From Kilimanjaro International Airport, the hotel is about a 45-minute drive; you can arrange an airport transfer through the hotel or take a taxi. If you fly into Arusha Airport, it is roughly 7 km away, about a 15-minute drive, and a taxi or pre-booked transfer will get you there comfortably. The Central Bus Station and Taxi Stand is about 1.5 km from the hotel, so a short taxi ride covers that route. The hotel also offers airport pickup and drop-off services, which you can arrange ahead of your arrival.

The hotel can arrange organized tour packages if you want a guided evening outing.

Is Kibo Palace Hotel a good base for exploring Arusha?

For day trips, the Cultural Heritage Centre is 4.5 km away, and Arusha National Park is 20.6 km, so you will need a car or tour for those. The hotel can arrange organized tour packages, which is handy for safaris like the Serengeti and Ngorongoro trips. You are also a short walk from the central business district, making it easy to explore on foot.
