Gran Melia Arusha

This is one of the best hotels I have ever stayed at. The service is top tier, the food is amazing, and the facilities are amazing. Everything about this hotel is top tier. I highly recommend if you are saying in Arusha that you stay here.

Really nice staff and excelent garden for birding such as Giant kingfisher and Little Sparrowhawk, thank you so much, Pablo, ebirdlist

Potentially one of the best hotels we have ever stayed in. For a city hotel, it is located in an astounding setting, with the stunning backdrop of Mount Meru and natural environment of the grounds around it. The pool setting is quite something as well. Exploring the grounds of the hotel can easily take up a whole afternoon, with the coffee plantation, native beehives, chickens, small farm and more making for great exploration. While staying, you should certainly take the time to explore the Sanaa cooperative at the rear of the hotel. Not only was it very interesting to see the artists making the items but the store itself has many high-quality products which are perfect for gifts etc. It was wonderful to be able to contribute in a small way to the social aspect of Sanaa. The large windows in the rooms make the most of the natural environment surrounding the property. The rooms themselves have high-class fixtures and fittings, which had clearly been thought out extensively, from the smart lighting in the bathroom to the use of Sanna glassware as well. These nice touches also carried across to the hotel staff, who during the turndown service placed the TV Remote + bottle of water / glass by the bed. Internet speed was reasonable (Approx 15mbps download / 14mbps upload). Selection for the buffet breakfast and dinner was extensive. Aside from some confusion over a wine order for dinner (over charged) this hotel was otherwise pretty flawless.
