"Zawadi House provides personal services and the kindness of the staff is unmatched. The grounds are beautiful, with tea in the garden each evening being a relaxing highlight of our stay. Breakfast was wonderful. The location is close to Arusha city center and any other activities you have in mind. We would definitely stay here again, and recommend giving Zawadi House try when you visit the area."

16. Tulia Boutique Hotel and Spa

2.5 km from Natural History Museum

"We stayed for a few nights before and after our safari. We generally found the staff friendly, attentive and helpful. The hotel in our opinion is a little tired and in need of a bit of love / upgrade. It sometimes is colder at nights in Arusha, so having a restaurant outside, doesn't always work. The breakfast room felt a little like a school classroom. For us though the biggest attention should maybe considered in the rooms. Our bed was uncomfortable and we could feel the springs throughout...

Top Natural History Museum Hotel Reviews

Palace Hotel Arusha

10/10 Excellent

"1. Excellent Facilities: Rooms are clean and bathroom has all amenities needed. Linen also very clean. Palace Hotel staff are helpful and polite. Breakfast menu is excellent for most tastes and food is fresh. The room is business friendly since you have a practical worktable and reliable wifi. The table-light at the worktable needs to be a little brighter. Otherwise an excellent facility I will recommend to others. 2. Challenge on Alignment of Reservations Desk and Online Booking: The marketing/reservations desk and online booking need to align. You gave me a quotation of $100 per night and charged me $259.20 for 2-3 Sept 2026 and $100 for 4 Sept 2026 for the simple reason that I paid online and would seek reimbursement from my employer, the University of Nairobi. This is after we had negotiated and received confirmation at the rate of $100 from your marketing/reservations department."
