Nice and clean, international level hotel. Nice breakfast, rather standard but fine. Perfect place to spend the first night coming to Tanzania and leaving for a safari next day. more

Pros: Perfect for business visitors and tourists looking for full amenities of a modern hotel. Good food (breakfast buffet, lunch, dinner available). Excellent restaurant staff. Walkable to city center. Perfect starting point for safari. Many safari tour companies in city center. Cons: Minor check-in issues, but reasonably quickly resolved. A few mildew sightings, but very rare. Not in city center,... more

I stayed here for one night at the beginning of a safari. When you walk into the hotel it's impressive and you couldn't fault the rooms - they were lovely. Staff were eager to please and pleasant. The pool area was lovely. My biggest problem with this hotel was the food which was appalling. I ordered a cheese and tomato... more

This hotel is modern and well appointed, especially when compared to the other options in this developing city. It's a business hotel, so internet and phone are readily available, and the hotel has many western conveniences. I stayed here three nights (before a Kili climb, before a safari, and before a flight out of Kilimanjaro airport), and was always happy... more

We stayed here for one night as a stopover before heading back to the JRO airport. It is kind of on the outskirts of the bustling city of Arusha. There is not much within walking distance except a couple of small restaurants (a pizza place and fast food chinese) and a small grocery store. This is clearly a business hotel.... more

Great standard, especially the suites (really 5 star); Very clean. Bathrobes, slippers in the room etc. All the luxury. more

We stayed here for 2 nights after safari and in honesty needed a bit of western comfort, which the Kibo palace offers. Corporate-style hotel, with all the modern comforts this offers, however lacks African character. Although corporate is wasnt too big (although building work for a new spa area is still ongoing but not too obtrusive). The room was spotless... more

I attended the Sullivan Summit conference in Arusha and chose to stay at the Kibo Palace Hotel. To say the least, it was LOVELY! The property is very impressive, it is still under construction, with additional rooms, health club and additional conference rooms which they say should be finalised by August. The rooms are spacious, friendly staff. It is simply... more
