"We arrived late from Safari but it was a great clean wit quiet room for our quick overnight stay before flying out. Only problem was the roads getting there are very bad and despite being โ€˜closeโ€™ to airport, the taxi had to drive right around to get there, so would have been easier to book on the main road anyway."

Top Arusha Hotel Reviews

Gran Melia Arusha

Gran Melia Arusha

10/10 Excellent
"Extremely modern, clean, and 5* facility. Pool is beautiful but not heated. The staff are beyond friendly and professional. They are clearly well trained in hospitality with everyone greeting guests no matter what. There is an onsite farm that provides all the vegetables and coffee to the hotel. The staff provided a tour ad hoc (I was just walking by and they asked if we wanted a tour). The food is excellent and not bad value. They are doing roadwork right outside the hotel property but you canโ€™t hear anything on the grounds or in the room due to the lush vegetation. Overall, 5/5. Would come back but maybe when itโ€™s a bit warmer."
