"After a long trip from USA, this hotel our room & bathroom was spacious, bed comfortable, lots of clean filtered water in the room with a tea pot and a variety of local teas. Gorgeous windows that could be opened to lovely gardens and landscaping. Pool was clean and staff very helpful. Food was good with vegetables that they grew right there on the property. Security was always available and helpful. Location is relatively convenient to the Cultural Heritage Center and not too far from the JRO airport. It was very comfortable for our stay."

Four Points By Sheraton Arusha, The Arusha Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"This hotel is like an oasis in the busy centre of Arusha town, next to the Clock Tower. It is a hotel dating back to the 1930's but the renovations would lead you to believe it was built in the past 5 years. The gardens are luscious with lots of vegetation. There is a pool and gym on site but had no time to check out either. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful and knowledgable. The restaurant menu was great for breakfast and dinner, with lots of options. The rooms were clean. Not much that can be said to prevent you from checking out this property on your next visit to Arusha town. We stayed for 2 nights and then had to move on but I could have stayed longer."
