I had a wonderful day at this hotel. Everyone was so welcoming from the staff. One of the staff members took me to my room, carry my luggage and also ensure that I was able to get room service to my room. They also have a complementary shuttle to the airport, which is amazing. The property is so nice and the food is delicious when I come back I will definitely be staying in this hotel.

Very helpful staff. They provided very prompt service. They offered free pick up and drop off to the airport at Kilimanjaro. The stay was very smooth and everything was well organized and very clean. The food at the restaurant was also great. Would definitely recommend booking this place if you are in the area and need an overnight stop!

The staff made this stay amazing! They were super! Our flight got delayed and we arrived very late however they still brought us hibiscus tea, cookies, and warm clothes. My husband had climbed Kilamanjaro and arrived before me, he enjoyed the spa and took advantage of the laundry. They did a great job!

Third stay... very enjoyable and lovely place to relax before a very long haul flight. Food is good and atmosphere relaxing. Beds lovely and soft. I stayed with my daughter and 19 month old grandson this time. It was nice to escape the hustle and bustle of Arusha before flying. We were provided with breakfast boxes before departure, which were greatly appreciated and of great assistance on the long flight with a baby! Will definitely be back.
