Reviews 434+ From Tripadvisor

Green Mountain has officially become my favourite hotel in Arusha. It has everything you could possibly want - beautiful swimming pool, fully equipped gym, delicious restaurant, fantastic service and great WiFi (which is hard to find in Arusha!) It would recommend to anyone looking for either long term or quick stop over. It is close enough to town that you can get a quick bajaji or taxi into town with no worries. 100% recommend.

Very good place I stayed at this hotel after doing a Safari. It has very comfortable rooms, friendly and helpful staff that assisted me with any questions I had and good breakfast/food. I did a walking tour around Arusha with Haruna. I really enjoyed it, he was very helpful and friendly.

Good and satisfying experience Very high level service. Big choice of food. The bathroom is weird but fine. There's no elevator, but the crew takes your luggage up to the room, which is also on the fourth floor. In short, very good service. We got here through an organized safari trip and slept in this hotel last night. Just a good experience.
