Top Natural History Museum Hotel Reviews

Gold Crest Hotel, Arusha

10/10 Excellent

"The Gold Crest Hotel was an excellent start and finish to our safari trip. The room was spacious and the staff were friendly. The welcome drink was good, as was the complimentary breakfast buffet. The property was clean and wifi was generally good. The hotel seemed to be within walking distance of the town centre, but our logistics required us to take a short Bolt ride instead (no Uber available). There was a pool at the property but I did not have a chance to use it. I must admit it seemed a bit smaller than I expected. Overall, this was a good hotel for a visit to Arusha and would recommend to others."

Mount Meru Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was great. Lovely room. Great view. One small issue. There were no plugs near the bed, so I had to lug my phone on the other side of the room."

Gran Melia Arusha

10/10 Excellent

"We ended our safari in a very high note because we stayed here before we flew from kilimanjaro airport (45mins away). When our tanzania guide drove us to this hotel at the end of our tour (entry/exit hotels were not included in our package) he beamed and sang high praises for this establishment and said we will no doubt enjoy our stay. And he was right. I primarily chose this hotel cause it is airconditioned, decor is modern and it is very used to tourists/foreigners so i had no doubt meals and stay itself will be safe and good. But we walked the entire hotel grounds (had time and inclination) and found they also had a beautiful flower garden, a giant chess board, a 3 hectare coffee farm, a swinging bridge, an in house gift shop (with high quality items), multiple restaurant choices for meals and superb views even from just the 3rd floor where you can see Mt. Meru on a clear day. All the staff too were super nice and it makes me want to go back to arusha just to stay here again."

Kibo Palace Hotel Arusha

8/10 Good

"Staff was great. Sometimes difficult to understand through their accent."

Sanna Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay in the heart of Arusha."

Arusha Naaz Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"It’s in a perfect place to stay in Arusha where you can walk to some good cafes and restaurants. You’re very central so you can take short taxi rides to anywhere in the town. It’s in a shopping center so the entrance is a little confusing from the street. People were nice. There’s a little outdoor area with tables."

Venus Premier Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Très jolie endroit bien situé !! Personnels très gentils !! Merci beaucoup à tous !! Patrice"

Tulia Boutique Hotel and Spa

10/10 Excellent

"The staff eas very helpful and nice can't say anything i didn't like would highly recommend"

Four Points By Sheraton Arusha, The Arusha Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is like an oasis in the busy centre of Arusha town, next to the Clock Tower. It is a hotel dating back to the 1930's but the renovations would lead you to believe it was built in the past 5 years. The gardens are luscious with lots of vegetation. There is a pool and gym on site but had no time to check out either. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful and knowledgable. The restaurant menu was great for breakfast and dinner, with lots of options. The rooms were clean. Not much that can be said to prevent you from checking out this property on your next visit to Arusha town. We stayed for 2 nights and then had to move on but I could have stayed longer."
