I love this hotel so much that I have stayed here for four times already and will always stay here when I visit Arusha. The staff are just incredibly helpful and professional, from the front desk (Thank you Maryline!) to the restaurant wait staff (Elisha and Genarose!) to the porters and laundry staff. Great job everyone... oh and the chef and cooks. Wow, what great food. I love Kibo Palace1

Great
Nice hotel. Great staff. Good facilities and location. Only complaint is the quality of sleep wasn’t great. The windows/doors aren’t very sound proof and the air conditioning in the room seems to loudly turn itself on throughout the night.

Nice Enough But…
The Kibo Palace is a nice enough hotel but i think overpriced. it was noisy the night I stayed thanks to a band playing poolside and there was virtually no water pressure in the shower. After weeks on safari, it was a disappointment not to enjoy a god shower.

Our first exposure was one of rudeness by the reception staff. No welcome or hello, just passports please. Apparently, she could not immediately find our booking and was “very put out”. She took our confirmation and after pointing out how much we paid for the room to another staff member, disappeared with no explanation to another room. Upon return with a disgusted attitude gave us a room key. Upon entering the room, we did not find any towels, glasses, or coffee for the morning. The rest of the staff has been wonderful, especially the bell hop and restaurant staff.

The hotel is in a great location close to the city center but it's still secluded, private, and very safe. The staff was very attentive and promptly responded to my request. However, the refrigerator in the room didn't work and CNN was frozen on the television.
