A beautiful hotel, welcoming staff and great facilities. I especially liked the coffee plantation, Sanaa workshop, and vegetable patches. Really comfortable beds.
Hands down best hotel in Arusha. Rooms were spacious and immaculate. Impeccable decor . Spacious lobby to hang around .Staff are excellent from bell boys to reception to dining room staff.Coffee plantation on site from which their coffee is sourced. Coffee is amazing and I bought some to take home. Grounds are immaculately maintained and the boys in the garden even plucked some Guavas for me.
Beautiful pool. Breakfast was amazing with a wide spread . They have a workshop for people with disabilities at the back from where we bought merchandise .
They allowed late check out on request . Every single person went out of their way to help to make our stay memorable.
Highly recommend staying here. All my friends thanked me for booking this hotel for our stay in Arusha
Really nice 5* hotel! The view of Mount Meru from our room was great! Staff were super welcoming and friendly! There is an internal workshop/ gift shop in the grounds (Sanaa) which supports people with disabilites - we got some great hand made souvenirs from here!
I travel a lot but rarely review my stays. This one deserves a review as it is one of the finest 5 star hotels I have ever stayed in. The beautiful facility was only topped by the incredible service of the staff. Just as good as it gets!
Really enjoyed our stay at the Gran Melia. They made you feel welcome from the moment you walk in. The amenities are great. Rooms are comfortable and clean. Staff is very friendly and helpful.
This hotel is a dream-come-true and is top class. Thanks to the fantastic job done by the hotel manager, the service provided is really perfect. The hotel looks like new and is in perfect condition. The view on the gardens and the Mount Meru is fantastic. This view is stunning from the great bar located on the roof top. Delicious food. Very customer-oriented. I will definitely return to this hotel next time I have to travel to the. Arusha region. Simply perfect.
Very pleasant experience, everything worked perfectly and the hotel facilities were excellent. We especially enjoyed sauna ans steam room as well as nice gym.
The Gran Melia Arusha was the perfect hotel to stay after our safari. The property is beautiful and very quiet (especially for a property surrounded by busy streets.
The amenities at the hotel were fantastic and the options for dinning are varied, with the rooftop restaurant having an amazing view.
We only stayed for one night but had a great experience. The hotel property is beautiful and the staff is very friendly. We had dinner at the rooftop restaurant. The food was delicious and the decor was very nice.
I highly recommend this hotel if you're in Arusha.
Absolutely beautiful property with strong Green initiatives. Great friendly staff. Great bed. I slept like baby. Good food options and a beautiful rooftop bar/restaurant.
Beautiful property with amazing views and great vegetation! The staff went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable after our 3 AM arrival at the hotel, we are super grateful! They gave us a tour of the coffee plantation and gardens from where food is sourced to the restaurants! The pool and amenities are amazing as well!
I loved everything about Gran Melia Arusha. The best thing about the hotel were the incredibly hospitable staff who went above and beyond. I was very saddened to say goodbye to my breakfast staff who were so lovely and good to me.
This property is absolutely beautiful. The grounds are fantastic, they grow their own coffee, avocados and other gorgeous plants and flowers. The rooms are beautiful, big and the view of Mount Meru was outstanding. . However, what makes this hotel five stars is the hotel staff. They are amazingly kind, professional, courteous and ready to answer or help in any way needed. The breakfast buffet has a tremendous variety and was delicious. The coffee for the lattes was grown on site. Overall, a fantastic experience! Thank you Gran Melia staff!

I love the Gran Melia Arusha.
I was treated very warmly but all of the staff. It is just a beautiful hotel and I would certainly recommend the hotel if someone wants a luxury hotel experience.
Five star experience! The staff are lovely, the gardens are stunning, the tapas bar became a favorite while processing the days events, and the SPA is epic (shout out to Olivia and Freda - truly gifted healers). If you stay a day or a week in Arusha, stay here!! The best hands down.
