8. Tulia Boutique Hotel and Spa

2.5 km from Natural History Museum

"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...

"Zawadi House provides personal services and the kindness of the staff is unmatched. The grounds are beautiful, with tea in the garden each evening being a relaxing highlight of our stay. Breakfast was wonderful. The location is close to Arusha city center and any other activities you have in mind. We would definitely stay here again, and recommend giving Zawadi House try when you visit the area."

Top Natural History Museum Hotel Reviews

Sanna Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Large, clean rooms with nice rooftop restaurant for breakfast and other meals with a nice view Mt Meru when it’s visible. Friendly staff. Short stay for one night."

Palace Hotel Arusha

10/10 Excellent

"Room was spacious and comfy and breakfast was good."

Kibo Palace Hotel Arusha

10/10 Excellent

"This property is comfortable with a great in house restaurant. The room was clean and the closet was a good size for hanging up multiple outfits. The staff were all very polite. The tanzanite store in the lobby has fantastic prices and Moses himself is a gem - extremely kind and helpful. The only issue we had were the extremely incompetent taxi drivers who did not seem to know where they were going. I highly suggest you show the driver the directions on Google Maps BEFORE you depart the hotel because we attempted to show them during the ride but they were not interested ."

Gold Crest Hotel, Arusha

8/10 Good

"Waited for a long time to check in because they could not locate our room reservation"

New Safari Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was very friendly and helpful. Hotel and rooms in a very good state. Hotel very well located. The only thing that could be improved is the size of the bed and sound proof windows, due to the outside traffic. Thank you very much for the stay."
