Great hotel before Safari

Reviewed By myjourneythroughlens

I had a nice stay at Gran Melia Arusha. The front desk staff were very welcoming. The lobby is really nice. The room I stayed at, was quite big and the bed was nice. I loved the rooftoop bar. The room service was okay. The breakfast choices was limited but tasty. Overall, it was a great stay for the first stop before Safari.

Chris (host/owner) and the two housekeeper girls made my stay very pleasant. Breakfast was always ready early in the mornings with fresh fruit, coffee, pancakes, granola and yogurt, and omelette. The host also helped me by coordinating and helping me to join a safari (“joiner -group” version) with his associate. The experience with the safari went beyond my expectations too. The house was very clean (inside and outside) and had a nice warm decor. I love the fact you can cook your own food or have the girls cook you a lunch/dinner. The two dogs were also fun, playful and sweet too. I will miss the staff and the dogs at Utamaduni House. If I come back to Arusha to do another safari, i’m definitely coming back to Utamaduni House. We liked them so much, that we actually cooked a Filipino dish for them the day we left.

Fantastic Value for Money in Arusha

Reviewed By Swiss_Traveller_Manu

This hotel is really great value for money, could not believe it! I stayed twice for one night (before and after my safari), especially the room on the 1st floor (not ground floor) was really nice. Not huge but very clean, with bathroom included, quiet, comfortable bed. Also, staff was really nice and I twice met the manager who recognized me by name. I would definitely stay there again!

El lugar es acogedor y bonito lo tienen muy bien cuidado y limpio , pase unos días y me hicieron sentir realmente como en casa el personal es amable y si te pueden ayudar en algo y recomendarte sitios o lo que necesites lo hacen con una gran sonrisa la habitación está muy bien equipada y los lugares comunes son formidables ,sin duda de los mejores sitios donde parar unos días por su ubicación y conocer la zona que es preciosa . Habla una enamorada de Tanzania . The place is cozy and beautiful they have it very well maintained and clean, I spent a few days and they made me feel really at home the staff is friendly and if they can help you with something and recommend places or what you need they do it with a big smile. The room is very well equipped and the common places are formidable, without a doubt one of the best places to stop for a few days because of its location and get to know the area, which is beautiful. A woman in love with Tanzania speaks.
