Top Natural History Museum Hotel Reviews

Sanna Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Loved everything about this beautiful hotel! I felt like I was having the most luxurious stay! The people, food, amenities were just impeccable."

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."

Kibo Palace Hotel Arusha

8/10 Good

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

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"

Best Western Parrot Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was helpful and quite accomodating. The hotel is also centrally located. At the time of my stay, there was no functional gym room however there are multiple gyms in the area. I would definetly book this hotel again next time im in Arusha."

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."
