We were so impressed by this place! We had our own apartment with a sitting room and everything. We only stayed 1 night so can’t vouch for the functionality of the kitchen, but the space was great and we especially loved the welcome coffee and cookies :) and the roof access with views of the mountains! And the woman working there was just lovely.

Our stay with Cecile and Male was absolutely unforgettable. 🥹❤️ From the moment they picked us up at the airport until the time they dropped us off again, their warmth, kindness, and genuine care made us feel like part of their family. They are the kind of hosts who go above and beyond in every way – thoughtful, attentive, and truly wonderful people who touched our hearts and made our time in Arusha incredibly special. Cecile’s homemade dinners were nothing short of amazing – flavorful, beautifully prepared, and always shared with fascinating stories that made every evening cozy and memorable. Breakfast was fresh, fruity, and equally delicious! The location is perfect – close to the airport and ideally placed for heading out to safari adventures. The house itself is beautifully designed with an authentic and unique style, and the pool is simply stunning. Everything was spotless, with the highest level of cleanliness throughout. We also loved the small touches – fast and free internet, and the magical outdoor fire pit in the evenings, creating the perfect, peaceful way to end the day. Staying here was more than just accommodation – it was a heartfelt experience, a true home away from home. Cecile and Male gave us memories we will treasure forever, and we couldn’t imagine better hosts. ❤️🥹🥲

The rooms are really good, comfy and beautiful. The outdoor area is super nice to chill after a safari. There are cats hanging out as well, big bonus. The breakfast was really good and the manager is very helpful. He helped me get my bus to moshi without any hassle. 100% recommended if you want a comfortable stay in Arusha.

We had a great time at Savannah House! We arrived in the late evening after landing at JRO. We spent there just one night before embarking on a safari in Serengeti. We were given two beautiful rooms - they were of great size and very comfortable. The rooms had a universal power plug --- a very thoughtful for international travelers. The bathroom was sizeable, the internet worked very well. The owners prepared a REALLY delicious dinner for us. The dining room was very stylish, and the meal was awesome! Breakfast was really good as well.

The room was clean and comfortable. Staff were friendly and helpful. The food at the restaurant was lovely, but it took a while to come. The hotel will arrange massages and other treatments upon request. The area is busy, full of hustle and bustle but it’s an ideal location to be picked up for a tour.

Breakfast and dinner were great. The location is not so easy to access if you go alone, but with the help of locals you can easily reach the hotel, which is well known there. The place was also very clean and the rooms were well organized. It was super worth it for the price and length of stay. Zena is very sweet and friendly! And as for security, we were able to leave our bags in the rooms, which had locks, so it was super peaceful too.

Comfortable and cozy budget hotel. Very friendly, sociable, pleasant, responsible, and polite staff. It's evident that they love their job. They prepare very tasty breakfasts; they even prepared a takeaway breakfast for us earlier than the scheduled time. We also dined there, and the chapatis were simply delicious. Good location not far from the main street, from where it's easy to take a taxi to the center for 5000 shillings (using the inDrive app).
