Swahili Villa is a gem in Arusha. This place is only around 10-15 min by tuk-tuk to the center of the city, so very good location! The place is small, only 4-5 rooms, and it is taken care by a group of 4 amazing girls that treated us very kindly. They are excellent cooks, and very good company - we enjoyed talks in the fireplace with them, and the two baby cats Simba and Señorita. Breakfast and dinner are delicious and abundant, and you can try many typical food from Tanzania. On the first day we had a late arrival and they waited for us and cooked us some dinner, that was very nice from the girls :) We really enjoyed our time in Swahili Villa and would recommend it to everyone that is staying in the city for one or a few days.

Good apartment with the best shower I had in Africa, and all the facilities are of good quality. We arrived by bus from far away after 11 pm, and within 10 seconds of ringing the bell, we were already checked into the apartment. The breakfast is good.

Stasumo House Arusha

Arusha

3.1 miles from Uhuru monument in Arusha, Stasumo House Arusha features accommodations with access to beauty services.

We loved everything about Stasumo House. The house and the surrounds are beautiful and peaceful with different little areas to relax in..by the pool, in the hammock, day beds in the garden etc. The place is breathtaking at night when the fire pit and garden lights are lit and you can have a beer at the little bar and watch the sun go down with the dogs at your feet. But by far the best thing about Stasumo was our hosts, Cecile and Marley. (and Issah of course) Nothing was enough trouble, arranging transport, cooking delicious dinners, doing our laundry, providing water, irons, bottles of wine etc...we learned a lot and laughed even more. It was a really special, very personal experience. They truly felt like friends for the four days we spent there. Thank you so much for everything. We will treasure the memories.

From the moment we arrived, the experience was truly exceptional. The staff went above and beyond to help with every logistical detail — from transportation to local recommendations — making everything smooth and stress-free. The food was absolutely amazing; every meal felt carefully prepared and full of flavor. But what really stood out was the warmth of everyone working there. Their kindness and genuine hospitality made us feel completely at home. This isn’t just a place to stay — it’s a place to feel cared for. Highly recommend, and can’t wait to return!

We stayed at Villa Arumeru for one night after completing a 3 day safari. The grounds and the hotel itself were beautiful, and the staff were all super friendly and helpful. We had a sometimes cranky toddler with us and throughout the stay they did all they could to cheer him up. Prior to our stay, they reached out to change our rooms to better accommodate our group, and the change was perfect, complete with a shared balcony with a view of Mt Meru. The food at the restaurant was great, and it was the perfect respite spot after three days driving all over the parks. We will definitely stay here again the next time we are in Arusha!

Very close to the dusty main road to Arusha, and close to the kili Airport, this beautiful, high-end home stay was a real treat to our family. The fresh and unique meals, prepared at the house, and the insightful tour in the nearby village were wonderful!

The sweetest staff I have ever met! I came with totally dusty suitcases and they instantly started cleaning them for me! The second day I stayed in resting because I had come there from a volcano climb and was tired and they had some minor renovation going on and they decided to stop it for that day, so I could rest!

Cozy spacious lodge not far from Arusha airport. Everything was perfect, room, food and service overall. Great attention to detail. In example upon arrival hot water kettle in the room was filled with water. So just a matter of switching "on" when wanting to make hot drinks. Comfortable large bed and balcony.

    The room was clean and comfortable. Staff were friendly and helpful. The food at the restaurant was lovely, but it took a while to come. The hotel will arrange massages and other treatments upon request. The area is busy, full of hustle and bustle but it’s an ideal location to be picked up for a tour.

    Breakfast and dinner were great. The location is not so easy to access if you go alone, but with the help of locals you can easily reach the hotel, which is well known there. The place was also very clean and the rooms were well organized. It was super worth it for the price and length of stay. Zena is very sweet and friendly! And as for security, we were able to leave our bags in the rooms, which had locks, so it was super peaceful too.

    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).
