Burka Coffee Lounge

📍 kisongo street, Arusha
★★★ 9.1 (9 reviews)

"Service was excellent! WiFi has been upgraded to provide different access for different areas of hotel and we always had availability. Food was very good and our waiter put fresh flowers and petals on our table for each evening he knew we would dine there. Chef made breakfast boxes and lunch boxes to go for our early morning departures. We were always greeted warmly, and our room was clean and comfortable. I was there solo before and after my Kilimanjaro hike and with my husband for a week afterwards. We each highly recommend it."

Simba Villa

Simba Villa

📍 Fire Road, Arusha
★★★ 8.7 (4 reviews)

"We arrived in Arusha at the same time as the President! So, trafic was chaotic. Entry is down a rough gravel road, but once the security gate slides back: welcome to paradise. A stunning large home set in a beautifully maintained garden. Idyllic!! Walter is a fantastic and obliging host. Food was great; room was clean and well serviced. Cannot fault the stay and will return."

Njiro Legacy ★★★
"I enjoyed my stay because the staff were very friendly and nice. They were very clean not just my room but the whole place. The swimming pool and the yard were always spotless. They are constantly cleaning and watering the plants and scrubbing the edges of the walls. It was just a pleasure to stay there."

"A repeated stay at this hostel, a bit noisy at this time and before. Room is very basic, but at such affordable price, you cannot ask for more."

Venus Premier Hotel ★★★★
"Room was very basic, very similar to a premier inn in the uk. The room smelled of smoke but there was a smoking area on every floor. No hairdryer but when I called reception the lady kindly brought one to my room. You get some little toiletries and the water pressure in shower is really good but the towels were very old and dry. There is room service and the prices are very good. I'd strongly advise you do not go out without a guide, especially if you are a female alone. The restaurant in the hotel is very good. The curry was amazing and there is very good drinks selection. You can go to reception for bottled water when you like. The wifi is ok but it went very weak around 10pm. Overall a good stop off point for a rest and to have some nice food and get clean but not a place for holiday. Staff were lovely people."

Burka Coffee Lounge ★★★
"We were in Arusha to attend the Kilifair trade fair and we chose Burka since it was near where the trade fair was being held. The hotel is a small boutique hotel situated in a posh quiet neighbor hood which made it have a homely feel. It has a unique classy rustic finish with very good manicured landscape which is my kind of vibe. The rooms were very spacious with full amenities replenished everyday including a toothbrush!! .I really enjoyed their African foods. You will get good view of Mount Meru from the hotel. We had a very good time and got to meet 2 of the directors who both went an extra mile to ensure we having a good time. Special appreciation to one of the director's Godwin for ensuring we had a good even outside the hotel. Cheers to you! I highly recommend this hotel we will definitely be back! "
