To just say this place is gorgeous will be an understatement. From the reception to the roof top to the enchanting views from all directions, to the amazing ever helpful smiling staff and the food - top notch. This place is worth every penny spent.

We stayed here for a night after being on Kilimanjaro for 3 days and it was the perfect place to clean up and get some well needed rest. The bed was super comfortable, room was clean, their rooftop restaurant had a great selection of food and drinks, and their breakfast buffet was our favorite on the entirety of our trip. The hotel grounds are beautiful, their coffee is to die for, and its an extra perk to open your eyes to a magnificent view of Mt.Meru.

This place is absolutely gorgeous ,might as well say to die for its environment is very friendly and unique. The view is also satisfying not to mention its staffs hospitality but also the unblemished rooms .... I highly recommend this hotel guys

I have been member of Melia hotels since some years ago. I have been In some of theirs hotels and Resorts.This time is first time I am leaving review.I believe the Grand Melia Arusha and management’s of this hotel should getting more experience by time.Some points I have to write if I try help them.Other than they forgot to change the towels, We had bad experience about charging us for food in Rooftop restaurant.They charged us for one champagne for 400000:- shillings also 200000:- more the food eat. When we pointed that we neither order nor dink, they told us it was a mistake. We could accept it BUT they charged us by two second for 9 drinks?!?!?! AGAIN. When we pointed again they came with another excuse “ the system AUTOMATICALLY?!??! Charge.”I believe the management should and will take care of that.If they did to us so clearly they definitely will do the same to others.I got last day massage by Ms Maria in SPA. Amazing hands. I will call her “ healing Maria with magical hands”. This beautiful lady knows the job. You should not miss massage. But if you will be lucky and get massage by Ms Maria , you will never regret.

Simply the best hotel in Arusha by far , I usually stop in Arusha to relax for few days after any exhausting safari I do , this time I know this would always be my favorite stop, great clean and spacious rooms , spa and gym is fantastic and the food is simply delicious , I don’t even need to leave the hotel if I am staying for a couple of days 😍

The best hotel in Tanzania. And I have tried a lot of hotels here in the county . The staff is really amazing, very helpful. The view from the rooftop bar is really beautiful. They grow almost everything they use here in their own hotel garden. They even grow their own coffee. A beautiful place which is really welcoming after a safari in the bush

The staff was very friendly and the facilites of the hotel were amazing. Really nice pool to enjoy the day, beatiful gardens and speechless rooftop restaurant...100% reccomended.

I stayed here for 3 nights during christmas holidays..it is a Nice 4 stars hotel..BUT breakfast is not so fresh, esp the eggs and bacon..and the alacart menu the portion is so litle so dont expect much food when you order from the hotel kitchen and yet you pay so much.( not value for money) ..it is better to eat outside the hotel in other restaurants.The atmosphere is good and the views are spectacular. Was it not for bad breakfast and small food portion in alacarte i would give a 4 star...ohh by the the food and bevarage manager is HORRIBLE at handlimg customers concern.

The place is so nice and the management, especially the chef, they made nice pork dishes ....and the cocktail 🍸 omg is a bomb, the only thing I can tell you is one of the attendants messed up, I choose this place to celebrate my wifes birthday and cake was made to be presented after the meal, which suppose to be a surprise,unfortunately the lady came and asked if we want anything and blew my surprise by mentioning a cake I have downstairs like omg what did you just do😥.....My wife got to know about the surprise and I felt so bad......The manager came and apologized....Otherwise the place so nice and lovely 😍

Beautiful modern Luxurious Hotel. The breakfast had great diversity - Complements to the chef who took time to say hello to the Guests. On a clear day, Great views of Mt Meru. However, the staff at the Entrance and the Check in desk were not warm and welcoming. We arrived late in the night and I felt like we were being a bother- there was no enthusiasm esp after being on the road for 12 hours. The waiters and staff around the restaurant, rooftop restaurant and poolside bar were excellent! Kudos.

Well we are still loving this weather….As much as it calls for cuddles and sleep it’s also a good weather to visit Cool places like @granmeliaarusha.The hotel is amazing with the beautiful scenery and warm service.During the night we had🍔 Chiken Fried Buger and Chicken 🍗 chipsThe burger 🍔 was well prepared and chicken was well fried it was worth the taste. They have perfectly dried chips ….But it wasn’t that extraordinary we grade the food 7/10.What I loved was the view and the service 😍🤩🙌🏽 and for service I would love to give a shout out to 🎤 “Suzan” she always smiled 😀 had a welcoming gesture from the way she speaks to her service 💕 @granmeliaarusha we loved her!We have shared the night and day view 🤩 I would go for both views always .In general we rate this place 9/10.Follow us on Instagram @restaurantreviews_tz

Every single one of them have been fantastic to us, making our stay unforgettable. The hotel itself is absolutely gorgeous and is really well taken care off. Please, if you visit Tanzania don’t hesitate and visit this hotel.

I had a terrible ordeal with the customer service today it saddens me! I visited the hotel today for a breakfast buffet and chill to do my office works. The breakfast was great and heavy that has me sate to tomorrow but the treatment after was not so good from the staff! I was not allowed to get any comfortable than sit straight for my whole working time! Out of good will I made a guesture to order drinks, sadly another staff during the ordering process came screaming at me that it was necessary and all! This was a very uncomfortable and embarrassing experience that I regret to have encountered!

Grand Melia is an excellent place to visit while you are in Arusha but also if you are a resident in this town, the roof top lounge is open its a place to be and go... This week the base camp training from South Africa is being held at this location a training for international sales executives , its a great place to go to during the day or evening the choice is absolutely yours , Karibu sana ...
