The property is very nice, and I had a very enjoyable experience at the spa. Unfortunately there were a number of issues with several dining experiences. Steak cooked at the wrong temperatures, food coming out cold, coffee order incorrect. It was likely a one-off but given the number of issues I had I figured it was worth noting. The F&B manager responded swiftly and indicated they were working on (or would be working on) training to meet expectations.
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.
