This hotel appears to be for people spending one or two nights before safari. The room was clean and comfortable, the food was pretty good and the staff was very friendly and helpful.
The area is very busy and noisy. There was a lot of construction in the area and a lot of street congestion.
There is a bank a couple of blocks away with a guard for ATM withdrawal.

Great property, very clean and modern. Staff are always nice and helpful. Only mark down is for location as it’s “off the beaten path” but I like it as you get to feel and experience the “pulse” of Arusha City.

A hidden gem
I was volunteering in the area for a month. The Venus was my weekend respite. A wonderful treat. Friendly staff!, hot water, water pressure, black out curtains, working TV, air conditioning, power….among other things. The food was very good.

Decent mid-range hotel in convenient location in city centre of Arusha…main drawbacks are inaccuracies Expedia lists for this hotel. Even with paid upgrade to Premium room, we found no hair dryer nor safe nor robes—despite Expedia listing all of those as standard with the rooms. This place is not “premier”; but it’s friendly, convenient, safe, and with decent full breakfast included.

Staff was friendly and helpful. I has problem with not one but the first two rooms. They did fix the problems so “3rd time’s a charm”. Bathroom clean and in good condition. Room also nicely arranged. (The first room was missing the safe that was listed on Expedia.)
