Perfect hotel for overnight stay before safari

Stayed here 2 nights, one before and one after a safari. The room was clean and the service was ok, however the price of the dinner varied a lot from one evening to another.

very helpful staff service

The staff were very helpful and accommodating. They let us check out late than usual. They even warm up our food from the outside restaurants to take with us for lunch. They went out of their way to help us. I would not hesitate to book there again if I am in town.

The staff were very accommodating especially Clara and Regina. They went out of their way to store our leftovers from outside restaurant in their refrigerator and warm up our for next day lunch. They stored our extra luggage for a whole week while we traveled to other cities. We can not say thanks enough to them.

The host Joseph is very friendly and helpful. The property is very safe, presentable and quiet. Room is large with good storage, comfy bed & functional ensuite. Breakfast is excellent and service genuine and obliging. To get there you drive down a dirt bumpy road, with many local shops. We didn't go into the neighbourhood as transport came to us. I recommend that you have a guide when venturing off in the area or city.

OUTSTANDING

My wife and I had a great stay at the Zawadi house. We were met at the reception by Yvonne, Nicholas, and Afti. We felt welcomed instantly. They did everything they could to make her stay comfortable and succeeded at every turn. I highly recommend this hotel and it's staff. If I get back to Arusha I will certainly stay there again.

Not a four star hotel

It was too overpriced for the room we got and for it’s 4-star renown. It needs renovation, specially the bath. Otherwise it has warm water, ok wi-fi. The staff are helpful to arrange a taxi.

Nothing Special

Hotel in a very secluded area. Not appropriate to leave the grounds for walking. Road to the Hotels is a dirt road through small narrow streets and in very poor condition, even for a 4x4. Staff were very pleasant, friendly and helpful but they do not have much experience with looking after guests. Food in the restaurant was average.
