This is an excellent place to stay near the airport before your safari. Nice and clean and the nicest most helpful staff. We arrived a day early for our... read more safari due to flight schedules, and they met us at the airport at 5:00 a.m. and had pre-arranged a tour of Arusha National Park for us before we checked into our room later in the day.

  Restful Garden Oasis - This oasis of luxury was a delightfully unexpected finish to our three weeks in Tanzania. We chose the hotel because it is the closest the the Kilimanjaro airport, but inside... read more the walls of the secure compound is a garden oasis.

As we passed through reception, my jaw dropped and I said, “Oh!” The grounds are immaculately kept, and serenely restful. After a short stroll on the well lit walkway, we entered our room and I said “Oh!”again. Our bed was large and comfortable; the bathroom had a large walk-in shower with very hot water, as well as a tub if you prefer. The air conditioning cooled the room comfortably. The room is thoughtfully stocked with anything you could need, including shower slippers and robes, and bottled water in both the bedroom and the bathroom.

The staff is very friendly and attentive, which is common in Tanzania, but the amenities set the Airport Planet Lodge apart. Definitely worth staying here.

  A very basic hotel for the price of a fancy one - In terms of décor, amenities, services, and food this is a very basic hotel. Meals are served on plastic plates. When I signed in at the front desk, a cockroach... read more almost ran over the piece of paper I was writing on. There was a lot of industrial noise from a facility nearby all night. Tacky Christmas lights were mounted around the restaurant and, to add insult to injury, they played a beeping song all evening.

Positive aspects: Staff was very friendly, the mattress on my bed was good, they had Nutella for breakfast (but no decent coffee).
