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.

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 can’t hear anything on the grounds or in the room due to the lush vegetation. Overall, 5/5. Would come back but maybe when it’s a bit warmer.
