Stayed here one night upon our return to Arusha from safari. Rooms were a bit on the small side but very efficient and modern. The pool was clean and refreshing. The buffet restaurant was good and had more hits than misses with the cuisine. Of particular note, I think it was the only place we stayed during our two-week safari... More

First thing you notice is how empty the place is. Everything seemed clean and new. We stayed here a night before we left for Ngorogoro crater. We didn't find the front desk girls neither the girls at the breakfast area friendly. Seemed a bit aloof. Maybe because they're not used to hotel guests. The room (#106) itself was spacious and...

Stayed 2 nights pre Safari and 1 night post trip in early February 2012 with a group 0f 10. Nice clean rooms sufficiently equipped with all the comforts one would need for short stays. Very accommodating staff earning high marks for customer service. Decent restaurant although the buffet - typical of buffets - can get a bit boring. That said... More

We used this hotel as a stop over to and from safari and compared to other hotels we experienced in the region this one is not very nice. - cockroaches in our room - AC broken (we switched rooms twice, same thing) - breakfast poor. They make a great scrambled eggs but everything is a buffe and no closed containers... More

Very nice business like hotel with spacious, clean rooms and bathrooms. We used the hotel as base in between trekking and safari trip. Good service and ok breakfast. A lot of staff around for self service breakfast was a bit annoying. Location on the outskirts of the actual city so we didn't experience arusha. Bar didnt always have cold beers... More

Spent 2 nights in early November at Snow Crest Hotel while on safari in Kenya and Tanzania. Nice big and cozy room with A/C, TV and free WIFI, friendly staff, it`s really a good value for money. Sakaina the G.M. is really professional. If you are not looking at a high end property, that is the place to stay.

We stayed in the Snow Crest just for one night before continuing to Zanzibar. The hotel rooms are nice and comfortable, restaurant is quite good as well and staff nice an friendly. It is not very close to the city, but if you have booked a guided trip the agency will pick you up and drive you anywhere. Good for... More

As a journalist and constant traveller, I had the opportunity to visit Snow Crest Hotel and, overall, was impressed by what I saw. The staff was friendly right from the gate to the reception, the management was warm and cordial, giving me the type of attention one of our kind rarely gets. I was impressed by the decor, ambience and... More
