The rooms at Serengeti Villas are designed with animals and are beautiful. It was nice to have plenty of storage space, and there is a beautifully decorated area where you can sit and relax comfortably in the room or outside. Breakfast at the Serengeti Villa was the most delicious breakfast I've ever had. Accommodation feels like home, and I wanted to stay for a long time. It is located slightly away from the hustle and bustle of Arusha city, so you can rest quietly at night, and it is the best location for touring Arusha. I used the Arusha airport pick-up service, and it is available at a reasonable price. Highly recommended.

Beautiful room, loved the scenery outside, and the nature chill out space at Kingstone Asilia just next-door was great for a solo traveller as the hosts were so friendly and had other guests visiting just for socialising. He also told me I'd be welcome to invite any of my own friends over in the future too for drinks or dinner :) Hosts were amazing and made me feel safe and welcome during my stay; also had great local recommendations! Highly recommend to any travellers!

The staff is lovely, I arrived late night and needed to leave early in the morning so I didn't experienced much the hotel, but everyone was so nice to me, they were worried about my breakfast and they left something done for me to eat before I leave. The bed is very comfortable, the air conditioner in good conditions and the space is very clean in general.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
