Arumeru, Tanzania hotel rooms at the Independent

"Excellent "

"What a great place! Huge gardens with birds and monkeys. Staff were exceptional. A perfect retreat before or after flying...good for a few days. We enjoyed the guided forest walk and massages. Food was very good. Rooms are lovely. Highly recommend "

"Staff were 5 star quality - really impressed that while I was there it was my home - nothing was to big or small to ask. Handy distance from town without being too close. Nice and quiet in the evenings 😊 They even packed a breakfast for me to take to the airport when I left at 0300 😳 Food was great in the restraunt and quick walk to local vendors. Felt safe in the hotel and walking in the local area. Thanks to the whole team for giving such personalised customer care 💜"

"Great place to stay close to airport with complimentary airport shuttle— even at 4:00 a.m.! They provided a complimentary boxed breakfast to take along. Staff is extremely nice and room was comfortable and had a/c. Highly recommend! Oh, and I received an excellent massage😊"

"The hotel is in the heart of Arusha city center. Great location and walking distances to cafe shops and restaurants. Breakfast is very limited, but they can do better than what they offer. Arusha has plenty of fresh food coming from the farms everyday I don’t see why they shouldn’t take advantage of that. The only one thing that I thought was outrageous was room service. They charge $12 for room service and if you bring any food in your room from outside they charge $10 cleaning charges. For this is not acceptable if you are playing $140-$150 per night. "

"rooms are good; internet was bad; food is below average; staff are nice but lack passion, contrast to most of the tourist hotels. it's a decent hotel to stay for work (but internet was a problem), don't eat there, there are many better places. not worth the price. "

"This was our meeting place for a night (although we spent several night before) prior to a Nat Geo Great Migration Safari in Tanzania. The staff were friendly, helpful and all around best. The could not do enough for us. It was a delightful stay. "

"Friendly staff. Rooms clean and comfortable. Lovely grounds. Food very good. Really enjoyed my stay."

"The room design and personal touches were very beautiful. I wish we were able to enjoy it in the sunshine."
