Arusha Urban : chambres d'hôtel

Olerai is pristine, value for all your money and chic just how I love my weekend homestays away from home. I highly recommend self-drive because it is a short drive from the main road and in case you have to leave then you will have no hustle. We were on half board option and although they have a fixed menu it caters to all and it is freshly served. The house overall is a classic piece of heaven set out in a beautiful community in Arusha. I love how it fits with the rest of the ecosystem in the area.

We had such an amazing stay at Mrimba Palm Hotel that we ended up extending our stay by two nights. Joseph was an incredible host and arranged several excursions for us. All of the staff at the hotel were great the food at the restaurant was the best we have had during our travels. We would highly recommend staying here and hope to be back one day!

if you are looking for a place to get away from the hustle and bussel of Arusha, want it to feel like you're not in the middle of town with beautiful scenery and nature around you, but still be close to the city centre - this is the place for you. the pool, accomodation, food and staff were all great and made my stay a very relaxing and enjoyable one. For those worried about the road after reading the reviews, don't worry, you don't need a 4x4 - arusha suburbs off the main roads are usually dirt roads and can be wild for people who have not lived in a city like Arusha - I promise you it won't stop your transport from getting to or from this place. Further the staff here would never leave you stranded. You can ask them for anything, including arranging transport, and they are happy to help.

As manager for 2 Mountain Lodge, Shangwe was always available and quick to respond to my requests and needs. The Lodge itself is located 15 min. away from the main city of Arusha. I enjoyed the quiet walks through the village life where I could get everything I needed from within the local community (i.e. laundry, supermarket, restaurants, cafes, bars, etc.). The food from the restaurant and bar in the lobby was excellent and with fair rates, I found myself eating here and getting to know both the staff and other visitors to the lodge. The wifi was good and when the electricity from the general city went out, 2Mountain has back up generators the snap on so I was never without hot water or electricity. They also provide transportation services and laundry services within the lodge if you need to go into the city or arrange an airport service. They will also help you arrange any extra activities (ie. safari, Mt. Meru, Mt. Kilimanjaro, Hot springs, Waterfalls, etc.). Just about everyone spoke English. In summary I can highly recommend a short and long term stay here and I will return when Im back in Arusha.

We have really enjoyed our stay:) The outside area was lovely, they have tortoise on premises as well as lovely doggie!(what a bonus) The bed is as big as runway!
