Nice place to stay. A little out of the center but easy to reach by public transport. The manager Walter is ready to help you out with anything, and they offer a lot of safaris and trips to the surroundings. It's as clean as you'd expect from a hotel, great place for short and long stays.

Pretty nice hostel with a very nice pool and clean rooms. The food was good and they arranged a transport to the airport for us. The owner of the Hostel Tizia answered all questions ahead of our travel. We could recommend the hostel to everyone.

Above and beyond our expectations!

Reviewed By jordantM6794OH

My wife and I stayed at Savannah House before and after our safari and had an exceptional time at Savannah House. When you step inside the gate, you are welcomed by a sweet family staff who let you share their beautiful oasis. The outdoor/patio area is nice to relax outside your room and enjoy complimentary tea/coffee at any time. There is a sweet outdoor kitty who we enjoyed petting too. The room itself (we had a double room) was very comfortable and clean, the bed comfortable (firm to our liking), good sized bathroom with a wet shower like all showers in Tanzania and a fan if you need a breeze (although the temperature was perfect, nice and cool). There was even a universal power strip so you can easily charge your things including anything from USB. Best of all though was the complimentary breakfast. Cooked fresh and served on a beautiful table set with nice touches like beaded coasters and place mats, we enjoyed an array of fruit, avocado, bread, Tanzanian pancakes/crepes, avocado cucumber salad, eggs if you like (we're vegan so opted out), fresh juice, etc. What a wonderful breakfast to start the day! The staff also helped to call in a pizza for delivery one night for our dinner. They even arranged a taxi service (for an extra charge) to the JRO airport (an hour away) the day we checked out from the hotel and the driver was punctual for our super early morning departure. Above and beyond our expectations! We did not venture outside the Savannah House gate to explore the neighborhood, but this is not really in downtown Arusha. I'm certain there are food options within walking distance, but we ordered pizza and had it delivered so we did not have to leave the property.

Hospitality, Warmth & Chillax Vibes

Reviewed By latrekista

Spent 2 nights here on each end of my game drive adventure and wished I’d stayed longer. The owner & manager, Innocent gives this place such a chillaxed (that’s chill & relax) vibe. Everything from the artwork (by local artists), the food (lovingly prepared by chef Steve), their beautiful K-9, Castro all give Mazzola the feel of “home” I had the single room with private bath and really appreciated the space, it’s special touches of exquisite African artwork, the extra table to place my bag, the large armoire with full length mirror. Especially the outdoor space with a garden and separate covered lounge sofas give it an added relaxed vibe. Breakfast is included as is bottled water (the large ones as Innocent discussed with me there’s a plastic dilemma in the country so I certainly respect his consciousness about being environmentally friendly) ?? Cannot wait to return to visit my family, that’s what they are for me. Oh yea, we gotta work out those salsa moves. Ahsante sana. Abrazos.

Home away from home

Reviewed By anmar557

Lion's gate Hotel is a very welcoming place, clean and comfortable, where you will also have the chance to have a real taste of Tanzanian food for a very fair price. I will definitely recommend. Also, regarding some previous comments on the laundry, I was there for 4 nights and I saw the staff doing cleaning the sheets every single day as Nelson as a team made of 3 cleaning ladies who do the cleaning at the place and take the time to ensure that each guest has everything that they need. Amenities provided are very great such as wi-fi, mosquito nets and hot water. Being able to swim in the pool was a plus, since there is very few hotel in Arusha with access to a pool!

Nice short stay

Reviewed By PCPepper

I really enjoyed my time here. The communication with Aziz was prompt and easy and when he lost his phone he drove to where I was being picked up (almost an hour) to tell me I would have a different driver than him which was above and beyond. The staff at the hotel was very kind. The shower was clean but questionable re: water pressure/temp but for this price I suppose you can't complain. I stayed in the tent which was clean and adorable though as a short person even I couldn't stand if beside the bed where the tent angles up so tall people be warned. It is hidden away in a residential area so the only way to go to town is rent transport but there are dinner options at the hostel, not a big menu but smelled really good! I would recommend it for a quick cheap stay it was comfortable and was just fine for a solo traveler.

Villa Poa

Beautiful, serene property

Reviewed By Mick3la

I had a lovely, short stay at Villa Poa following the safari I went on with Greg Adventures. The property is tucked away in Arusha: quiet, safe and beautiful place to relax when not exploring the city. Ayubu greeted us after our adventure and was very helpful showing us several important things in the immediate area and making suggestions for dinner. The room was large and very clean, bed was comfortable, equipped with mosquito nets and everything I needed to wind down. I enjoyed a quiet rest. The shared bathroom was very clean and directly next to the room (suite-style, shared with one other room with 2 beds). Breakfast was excellent and included coffee or tea, eggs, toast, chipati and fruit - so good! I would highly recommend staying here while in Arusha.
