Overall the place is nice, like a mid level local hotel. The grounds and staff were pleasant and peaceful however the road to get there was not good as we took two different paths to get there by a driver who did not know and the roads were very rough and bumpy. The area surrounding the hotel are like what you see in movies. The place is getting more developed as the area is relatively new but next to the hills which are water logged

The staff is very welcoming and friendly. The restaurant was willing to accommodate our dietary restrictions without any issues. Juma went above and beyond to help with a vegan diet. The room was clean and the grounds/garden were beautiful. The hotel could use some upgrades, but they make up for that with their amazing staff!

Warm, friendly, beautiful setting with the lodge s
Considerate, helpful, and kind staff
! I loved the grounds, flowers pants, animals nearby. I enjoyed the views, peacefulness, and the bed was very comfortable
There was TV, Wi-Fi, AC that was not needed in July, and a well cleaned outdoor pool.
The location was convenient for my safari driver, booking agent and his driver, and all were acquainted.

The road to the property is a rough road even by Arusha standards. I live in Nairobi and drove by car. It is not a road you would choose to walk. The owner has probably not upgraded the property in 20 years and it really shows

Vi hadde 4 fine og rolige dager på hotellet. Akkurat det vi trengte etter Kilimanjaro. Veldig hyggelig og servicemlnded betjening. God mat, men med 4 dager så blir jo menyen noe begrenset. Hotellet er avskjermet. Går man ut så blir man selvsagt snakket til av folk, men på en vennlig måte. Kan anbefales av de som ønsker fred og ro i noen dager

Ok stay at this hotel. The staff and the food made that stay worth it, both were excellent. The hotel is quite far for the city center, but it's ok. The hotel have a driver that will take you there, but the city of Arusha is not really nice. You can't walk 2 min without someone pushing you to buy junk stuff. The pool was dirty and really not inviting, but wifi was really good. Some roomnhave a fridge other not, one night the AC didn't work, it was really hot in the room. The hotel is not sound proof, you'll here dog, rooster, and your neighbor...

Best Hotel in Arusha!!!
If you're coming to Arusha, you absolutely MUST stay at Mvuli Hotel!
The hotel is absolutely gorgeous, the staff is VERY professional and kind. Hot water, Free WiFi, Swimming pool and HUGE garden.
They also have a restaurant on the premises with a 5 star Chef that makes customized breakfast lunch and dinner for you when requested.
No matter how hard you look, you won't find a better hotel in all of Tanzania. My family stayed here for several weeks and we loved every single minute of it.

ne très bonne étape près d'Arusha
Hôtel situé au calme dans les environs d'Arusha.
Une très bonne étape où nous avons passé 2 nuits lors d'un safari.
Le personnel est très sympathique, le wifi fonctionne très bien, la chambre est spacieuse et confortable (très bon lit), la piscine est agréable et le petit déjeuner est bon.
Que demander de plus ?
Sans oublier que le prix est très raisonnable.

Not good at all!
This hotel is dying! The rooms are nice and clean and that is the only good thing I can say about it. This owner is clearly absent and uncaring and the management has no ability to improve the guest experience. Don't be fooled by the guest reviews. They advertise wifi but it does not work at all and when I complained they were very offhand and disrespectful. Breakfast is poor and their limited food offer is over-priced. I would not recommend it.
