"We stayed for a few nights before and after our safari. We generally found the staff friendly, attentive and helpful. The hotel in our opinion is a little tired and in need of a bit of love / upgrade. It sometimes is colder at nights in Arusha, so having a restaurant outside, doesn't always work. The breakfast room felt a little like a school classroom. For us though the biggest attention should maybe considered in the rooms. Our bed was uncomfortable and we could feel the springs throughout...

Top Mt. Meru Hotel Reviews

Zawadi House

8/10 Good

"This is a very basic hotel, located in a very residential area of Arusha. You will need a car to get anywhere. The hotel is more basic than what it looks in the pictures; however, the staff is great. Super helpful. The food was proper Tanzanian food which was delicious and the place feels like being in a Tanzanian home. No pool, no big restaurant, basic rooms that could do with some updating but the staff and the gardens are great. It was great for us for 1 night after finishing our safari and before going to Zanzibar. It is a place to rest without much"

Mvuli Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Good helpful staff and good property."
