Lawns Hotel

Evrything about this place was very good. Location, food, service, play areas for kids incl. pool. I am not giving a high mark for sleep quality because there were loud music playing all night coming from the city. We stayed there over the weekend and our room had closer proximity to the city than other rooms, so this can easily be avoided I am sure.

I stayed three nights at Lawns Hotel and had a wonderful time. The food is amazing. The staff was friendly and helpful, especially the manager. And there is plenty to do in and around lushoto. I went on a nice hike to the Kisasa waterfall. But if hiking is not your thing you can also just relaxe at the hotel in the pool or on the terrace.

We had the pleasure of spending four nights at this beautiful hotel located in the wonderfully picturesque Usambara mountains. The hotel is located a ten minute walk from the town of Lushoto. From the moment we arrived we were made feel very welcome and Alex and his staff couldn’t have done more for us. Each member of staff deserves to be recognised for their friendliness and service - they were absolutely excellent. Alex even arranged for some of our luggage that we had left behind at a hotel in Arusha to be bussed to Lushoto. He handled all the communication with the previous hotel and had the items back for us within 2 days! The rooms are a good size and the beds were very comfortable. The en-suites were clean, with hot water always available and the rooms were serviced daily. The hotel boasts a variety of facilities including a swimming pool, restaurant, games room, bar, a delightful terrace and parking. At nighttime while we were there they lit fires which gave a very cozy feel to the atmosphere. The buffet breakfast each morning was a mixture of fruit, cereals, pancakes and the whatever way you liked your eggs - always delicious. Fresh organic coffee too! We had dinner there twice and the food was very enjoyable. We truly enjoyed our time at The Lawns and look forward to returning some day - in the meantime we would like to offer a huge thanks to Alex and all the staff for making our stay so enjoyable!

The Lawh hotel is very nice situated. Nice garden. But 1. On the reception, the man was very unwelcoming and did not understand what we say 2. In the restaurant, it needs a lot of time before we get some food, even we had hours before said what we would eat 3. the bathroom is very dangerous. In the bathroom there is a step. Every time we come in or out, we felt over that step, because wenn we washed our hands it was up, when we would dry our hands it was down. I had a severe fall, and still after 10 days my legs have a lot of pain... 4. The owner of Lawns Hotel and Shambaa ecotours is the same, on the same ground. Both dont work together... discuss with the tours that's included lunch, the hotel did know about this. It was after 1,5 that we knewed that both are differnet organisations. It gives a lot of misunderstanding

We enjoyed the ambience and the location of the hotel. It's very calm and green. It looks natural but classy. The reception was great and staff at the restaurant were amazing. We had a good time swimming at the pool. Would love to visit the place again!
