"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...

"This hotel was such a welcome respite after my travels. The grounds are expansive, lush, beautifully maintained, and incredibly peaceful. The pool is gorgeous, and one of the highlights of my stay was seeing Mount Kilimanjaro from the porch of my room in the afternoon. What truly sets this hotel apart, though, is the people. Every staff member I encountered was genuinely kind, welcoming, and eager to help. Their hospitality made my stay even more enjoyable. The hotel has a large restaurant...

"DO NOT BOOK THIS HOTEL THROUGH ORBITZ/EXPEDIA! We booked through Orbitz only to arrive and have the receptionist tell us they do not accept bookings through Orbitz or Expedia. We then had to pay the girl at the reception TWICE what the booking rate on Orbitz was. To make matters worse Orbitz has NOT given me a refund for this. I called and explained the situation to Orbitz and they said they would get back to me. Nothing from them! "
