TravellerTravellerExcellent!
TravellerCoffee plants did not look healthy
Traveller2 night stay before our Safari
The place is great. Food and service was excellent! Monkeys jumping on the roof a bit at night. But that’s part of the charm
TravellerBeautiful property, super friendly and accommodating staff, wonderful food, lovely room accommodations. Highly recommend a stay here whether as a relaxation visit or a stopover during Tanzania travels. The Shanga working museum and gift shop on premise is lovely to visit. Boniface the painter working on the grounds and offering paintings for purchase also lovely (we bought one!). Enjoyed watching the monkeys scramble about while relaxing on the deck off our Plantation room.
TravellerGood service. Beautiful facilities
TravellerArusha Coffee Lodge is a bit dated but the staff are wonderful. Food is fine.
TravellerGreat hotel. Friendly staff.
TravellerSimply superb
TravellerWe had a wonderful stay after sleepless travel to Arusha. The staff couldn’t be more friendly and helpful. The bungalows are fantastic with gorgeous decor and the most comfortable bed. The food is truly delicious and well priced too. Loved lounging by the pool after lunch and walking amongst the coffee plants for a little exercise. There are also several wonderful shops on the premise worth a visit. One of the notable experiences of our stay here- and Tanzania in general- is that no staff slip you cards with their name and tell you to write a good review on Trip Advisor mentioning their names. This has become an obscene practice in Dubai where we reside.
TravellerQuite. Beautiful setting. Food was wonderful. Staff friendly.
TravellerWe spent one night there. It’s a good place for relaxing before/after safari. Staff are very nice and helpful. We enjoyed staying there.
TravellerArusha Coffee House is truly my home away from home! Modern without being slick, African styling to perfection. While I was working there in some school I had the pleasure to get to know some of the excellence folks on staff. Remsi, Food & Beverage Manager trained at Disney World at their Animal Kingdom location (which is also excellent by the way) and that is a total coup for the Lodge. Disney training includes never saying No!! So, there you go. It’s just about the biggest Yes in Africa! Oh, and the upgrade to Suite 29 was very kind and appreciated. S
TravellerA nice place to stay
The hotel was very pretty. Comfortable rooms and beds. Food was good. Staff are all friendly. There was a main dining room, as well as a casual restaurant and bar for lunch, snacks, light food and cocktails. The grounds have a lot of coffee plants, but also very pretty landscaping. I would suggest the waiters on the patio give some morning and evening scraps to the hungry thin little cat that showed up on the patio begging for food. It seemed heartless the waiters would just shoo him and chase him away. A healthy cat could keep varmints off the property and would be a cute addition to the grounds. Cats are domestic, not self sufficient like wild animals. They rely on kind humans to feed them.
TravellerNot worth the money
What you don't see on the photographs is that the place is right on a busy road and like 3 minutes away from the airport. The coffee plantation uses some kind of nasty fertilizer that gave us an allergic reaction. The villas are nice, but the floors are treacherously slippery. The food was pretty good, but the service is poor. Most of the waiters were poorly trained and very slow, and the guy at the bar tried to serve me twice a watered down drink that I had sent back.
TravellerEXCELLENT
I stayed in the plantation suit. I think they have the best service in Tanzania.
Travellergood hotel choice but price quite too high
very good hotel in a coffee plantation. only negative point is the noise from the road. Otherwise the price is quite too high for the services provided
CRYPTO-FRIENDLY BOOKINGS
Your money’s good here.
I stayed for 1 night and was wonderful. Near to the airport. Food delicious. Clean and quiet. Staff spectacular
