Mrimba Palm Hotel

Mrimba hotel is about 4-5 km( 8000 TZS (Bajaji) - 20000TZS (cab)) from Arusha city center and about 25-30km (1 hr) from JRO. Off of NJiro bypass, we found the location safe, quiet and charming with Mount Meru views on a clear day. Beautiful, live green plants all throughout the hotel complex. Nice, enclosed yard by the pool (small) to relax and hang out. We stayed for 2 nights. We felt safe enough to take a short quick walk on the bypass after sunset. The staff will order Bajaji or a cab for you. Room size was great for 2 of us plus had a balcony with the view to Mount Meru! Room lighting was great, tall mirror, mosquito nets, two charging wall plugs for global electronic ( phones, Ipads) devices. Decent sized, Open bathroom with no separation from toilet so the floor does get wet on showering, but can manage to not get toilet area wet due to adequate space to shower on the opposite size. Hot water does run out quickly so use efficiently. Climate was warm so even if hot warm ran out, the water temp was good enough to finish the shower. Dinner and breakfast options onsite include vegetarian choices. We loved carrot and ginger soup with avocado salad. Breakfast included hot and cold options from cereals, breads, pastries, lots of cut fruits to warm items such pancakes/crepes, potatoes/vegetables, eggs cooked to order in different ways, baked beans, sausages etc. juices, hot teas and coffees, hot chocolates etc. Most of all, all staff members and site manager, Joseph, were very friendly, helpful, polite and will do anything to take care of your needs.

Internet was spotty all throughout Tanzania experience for us at most locations we stayed.

The room is good and the services are also good

Improve the food

Nice place to stay with a very friendly and helpful staff. The Mngr (Joseph) is always ready for a talk ! The booked activities through the Hotel met our expectations fully. Very nice continental breakfast ... and good restaurant.

The television channels in the room were very limited and sometimes "no signal", but we were not travelling to watch TV.

Safe, clean, good food, friendly staff, value for money.
