Great property, very clean and modern. Staff are always nice and helpful. Only mark down is for location as it’s “off the beaten path” but I like it as you get to feel and experience the “pulse” of Arusha City.

A hidden gem

I was volunteering in the area for a month. The Venus was my weekend respite. A wonderful treat. Friendly staff!, hot water, water pressure, black out curtains, working TV, air conditioning, power….among other things. The food was very good.

Decent mid-range hotel in convenient location in city centre of Arusha…main drawbacks are inaccuracies Expedia lists for this hotel. Even with paid upgrade to Premium room, we found no hair dryer nor safe nor robes—despite Expedia listing all of those as standard with the rooms. This place is not “premier”; but it’s friendly, convenient, safe, and with decent full breakfast included.

A unique experience - what a mess

We had expected more. When we arrived and wanted to go to sleep the first night, we discovered that the bedsheets were not only dirty, but filthy and had to be changed. Everywhere you looked there were small things, e.g. the tablecloths in the restaurant had stains on them, and when the pizza I ordered had hair in it the waiter just raised his shoulders. We went out to explore the town, and when we came back the door to our room was wide open and no one around (I assume it didnt close properly when the room was cleaned). Luckily we were on the top floor and at the end of the hallway so nothing was missing. It also took 30 minutes in the reception and 6 different wifi codes to get the wifi working. If I am to find a positive thing then the laundry service worked and was on time and the aircondition works.

- Bathroom lights not working in one of the rooms - Noisy air conditioning in one of the rooms - No hot water in shower, only mildly warm - Kettle not working in one of the rooms - Broken shower head in one of the rooms - Rubbish breakfast (both dine in and takeaway) - Early checkout at 10am - Not very central - Staff unwilling to repair things, only switch your room - No bottled water in the rooms - Smoky smell - Extortionate prices for airport transfers (actual cost is 1/5 of what they quote) - Expensive for what it is 1 or 2 stars at most

Upgrade needed

We stayed at the hotel on 2 separate occasions as we’d booked a 3 day safari. The group was collected from the hotel. Best thing about the hotel was Vega Restaurant dinner, catering mainly Indian, Asian and Swahili dishes (very good). Staff at the hotel were friendly & accommodating, also providing us with breakfast boxes due to very early flights. The cons: major upgrade needed to the rooms; lights were very dim; cleanliness was an issue (shower door was grubby); water pooled terribly while using the shower (it was so bad); towels were thin & had seen better days; one sheet had holes in it; curtain did not close properly (I pinned it with safety pins); hairdryer faulty. This could be a much better hotel if only more attention and care were given to upgrading it. The staff cannot be faulted at all. I’ve travelled extensively and never seen a hotel that provided sheets in such a poor condition. Next time I book a safari in Tanzania, I’ll choose a different hotel in Arusha!
