Serengeti Villa has a garden, shared lounge, a terrace and restaurant in Arusha. Offering a bar, the property is located within 2.7 km of Old German Boma. The accommodation offers a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, a shared kitchen and free WiFi throughout the property.

We booked this hotel because of the positive reviews and we definitely were not disappointed! The location of the accommodation is a little bit hidden, but that makes it really relaxed and secluded. Our bungalow was very comfortable, hot shower, good bed and several relaxing seating area's inside and outside of the room. At night they light up a campfire and keep the bar open. If you want dinner, they can order pizza for you or bring you to the nearby BBQ restaurant. So everything was awesome, but above all, the best was definitely the staff, and especially the owner, Anthony! Very welcoming and helping with every need. He arranged a last minute day trip for us, the night we arrived. And when we left something in the taxi, he got out in the night to pick it up for us. Amazing service! 100% recommended to stay here! 🙌🏼 Extra recommendation: book the Kilimanjaro Daytrip with Anthony, you will be sure of an amazing day with a local tour guide (waterfall, cave, coffee making, viewpoint).

The hotel is wonderful. It's far from the city center, but that's what we wanted since we wished to relax before our Kilimanjaro trek. The rooms are beautiful, spacious, clean, and comfortable. The staff is delightful and welcoming. If I ever go back to Arusha, I plan on staying there again. It's a beautiful oasis in a busy town. The food was delicious, especially breakfast.

With garden views, Kutoka Lodge is located in Arusha and has a restaurant, room service, bar, garden, terrace and children's playground. The lodge features both WiFi and private parking free of charge.

The owner and Kepora went beyond one's normal experience! The place is well appointed for a comfortable night's sleep. They made a real effort for breakfast and dinner. We loved the decorations and the view. A good place to relax if you are going or have been on Safari. They were good in waiting for other guests who had arrived in the early hours when their flight was delayed. We also saw an amazing cake they made for a honeymoon couple.

They helped book us taxis to and from airports that were on time and good prices. The staff was wonderful and made a nice breakfast for us each morning. We will be back!

    Comfortable and cozy budget hotel. Very friendly, sociable, pleasant, responsible, and polite staff. It's evident that they love their job. They prepare very tasty breakfasts; they even prepared a takeaway breakfast for us earlier than the scheduled time. We also dined there, and the chapatis were simply delicious. Good location not far from the main street, from where it's easy to take a taxi to the center for 5000 shillings (using the inDrive app).
