"After a full day exploring Serval Wildlife Sanctuary, Shoki Lodge was the perfect place to relax. Check-in was quick and friendly, and our room was clean, spacious, and comfortable. The staff genuinely seemed happy to help. Breakfast the next morning was fresh and generous. A relaxing, welcoming base for our trip. We'd gladly stay here again on a future visit to Tanzania."

Venus Premier Hotel ★★★★

📍 JMGM+PJ3, Plot No 15, Block D, Martine Street, Wasukuma St, Arusha

"Venus Premier Hotel is located at the center of Arusha, Tanzania. It is a very convenient hotel because it is surrounded by many businesses such as restaurants, banks, gift shops, and a local market. The staff is very helpful and professional. It is a big and beautiful hotel. I really love the shower water because it is very strong. The room is very nice and clean. They only put out one toilet paper and no paper tissue. The wifi was not working well. They served old crossant for breakfast because it was hard like a rock. The india bread was old because I could taste the sour of the bread."

Breakfast was great and food in the restaurant delicious too. The walk into Arusha is a nice stroll. I definitely will be back!"

Arusha Serena Hotel Hotels in Arusha

Arusha Serena Hotel

"I believe the this hotel is so used to working with safari groups that stay for one night before their safari commences, that they know they don’t need to work with any one individual guest for long before they check out. The hotel is located some miles outside of Arusha, and it costs $50 to be transported into town and back. So, for anyone staying more than one night you are pretty well stuck there unless you want to pay for a car and driver. To start with, and our first and lasting impression of the hotel was established by the unfriendly and unhelpful reception staff. This was not just our initial experience at the hotel, but replayed each time we needed to interact with them. To boot, it also took an inordinate amount of time for them to complete what should be a simple task (preparing a bill for payment or checking in, for example). The reception desk would take phone calls from the room, but then they did not act upon what was being requested (e.g. having the bar return the call to have ice delivered to the room, which the barman said he’d do— Instead I walked to the bar for ice). A major annoyance was that our room’s TV came on— full volume— in the middle of the night two of three nights we stayed at the hotel. This also happened to others in our tour group, which, of course, startled us awake from deep sleep. The third night we stayed there was a phone call in the middle of the night that also woke us up for something that surely could have waited until morning. Another annoyance was that dinner requires ordering a four course meal unless you want to order à la cart. Ordering à la cart, for a small appetite, say, we were told would take 45 minutes to an hour for the food to be prepared. That timeline was accurate. A very good alternative is the Duluti Crater Lake Restaurant, which is just outside the back wall of the hotel compound. A guard is required to open the locked gate to allow hotel guests access to the restaurant, which is quite good and is on the lakeshore. The first room we stayed in did not have outlets at the bedside for phones, etc. On more positive notes: The grounds are very beautiful and well-maintained. The breakfast, included, is very good. The rooms are generally very nice, clean, and maintained well. Our only issue with the rooms we had were the TVs coming on in the middle of the night, and no outlets near the bed in one room. The rest of the hotel’s staff, aside from the desk staff, especially the gardeners, security, and porters are very nice and friendly and helpful. This was also true of the restaurant staff."

Njiro Legacy ★★★
"It was a nice, spacious and quiet place. All the staff were kind. There was no elevator, but a strong staff member helped us. The food was also delicious. The only thing was that there was no bartender, so we couldn't order cocktails. We could buy bottled drinks like beer, so it wasn't a big deal."

Shoki Shoki Lodge Arusha ★★★★
"We recently spent one night at Shoki Shoki Lodge in Arusha and really enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere. Our room was clean and comfortable, making it a great place to relax after our trip. We also appreciated the friendly attitude of the staff, who made our stay smooth and welcoming. Although we didn't get much time at the lodge, we enjoyed its peaceful setting and comfortable accommodations. It was a simple but enjoyable experience, and the next morning we set off, rested and ready for the next part of the journey."

Arusha Backpackers Hotel ★★
"The price was practically free, I got a private room, a hot shower with good water pressure, and a great location! However, the drain seemed never cleaned, as the same clump of hair was left there throughout my stay, and the room and sheets were covered in trash. The room was completely different from the photos. The fan was broken (the person in the next room was using their own fan because theirs wasn't working). The room smelled terrible; it smelled like a nursing home. It was also incredibly noisy, with not only music from the next room but also body odor."

"Very friendly front-desk woman who carried my bags in. Room was clean and they even agreed to hold my bag for me while I do my safari trip. Restaurant was great too and well-priced and good quality. One of the better places I’ve stayed at. Also near to an ATM and a supermarket which helped! Would definitely recommend."
