Luckily we stayed there only 01 night as part of our safari package. PROS – the location, close to the town centre (15min walk). Clean. Tasty food but unfortunately you need to wait for it approx. 50min…Pleasant restaurant staff. CONS – Horrible reception staff with attitude problems, little request for a roll of toilet paper was a huge issue and... More

We spent 5 nights there and had booked several rooms. The rooms were great; very comfortable, clean, spacious and well equipped. It is a shame that the staff were not up to the task. They were rude and not helpful. For any ordinary request ( from ordering a beer to settling the bill), it felt like we were asking from... More

We stayed there before and after our Safari,so for 3 nights in total it was nice hotel. The Food is very very good,bare in mind it takes aprox. 40-60 minutes to get your order (even a sandwich) so be patient. Rooms and the hotel itself are very clean (although the 2nd time we stayed we had to replace towels twice... More

We arrived at this hotel without reservation. We were very surprised to hear about their price. We didn't believe it at first, since we had seen scrappy places for lot more money. It's a save place, nice food. We went back after our Safari and they event gave us an upgraded room for the same price. Some negative items. There... More

I think accommodation in Arusha is overpriced, so for me, the Lush Garden Hotel was good value for money. The room we had was quite big, very comfortable beds (not hard like the New Safari Hotel). The wireless internet was much faster than I usually get in Tanzania and we were able to get a room without booking. Yes, the... More

We stayed here for one night. At the start, we're very happy to get in at 330 am, without reservation. Our plane was delayed and we never thought that we would arrive that late in town. It is a bit difficult to find a reasonable room for a reasonable price in Arusha. The price is reasonable, the rooms are certainly... More

3 stars may be generous for this place, however the rooms were lovely and clean. Unfortunately there were too many other negatives. The on-demand hot water heater took at least half an hour to heat, then only provided enough hot water for one shower. After coming from 8 days on Kili without a shower, not enough! One of the rooms... More

First, this hotel engages in a bit of false advertising on their websites, with photos of ... who knows WHAT hotel intermingled with real photos of the Lush Garden Hotel property. Still, the hotel building is pleasant, the grounds are well-kept, the common areas are clean and pleasant and the rooms are very fashionably decorated. Most of the other patrons... More
