I’ve been to 49 countries and all 50 us states and this hotel is beautiful, but what makes it truly special is the staff. They genuinely are happy when they see you. And if you need advice on what to do, or need anything they will be all over it!!! I already miss these wonderful people and their hospitality!!!

We had a nice stay, but expectacions was higher. Rooms a bit outdated, but still nice. In restaurant we ordered a bit special dishes, but all came mixed up, but they corrected it third time.
All together, not a bad stay, just few things could be made better. We are still happy with the stay

The hotel is in the heart of Arusha city center. Great location and walking distances to cafe shops and restaurants.

Breakfast is very limited, but they can do better than what they offer. Arusha has plenty of fresh food coming from the farms everyday I don’t see why they shouldn’t take advantage of that.

The only one thing that I thought was outrageous was room service. They charge $12 for room service and if you bring any food in your room from outside they charge $10 cleaning charges. For this is not acceptable if you are playing $140-$150 per night.

My husband and I stayed here for a night before starting our safari and it was the wonderful reset that we needed. The staff were warm, friendly and helpful. Our room was clean and very spacious. We had lunch and dinner at the restaurant on the roof and the food was delicious and the portions were generous. The hotel is also in a great location and convenient. It's walking distance to the Tanzanite Experience and the Masai Market - which we checked out. Overall, this hotel was a great value and we felt very well taken care of.

The Sanna Boutique Hotel is an oasis in the middle of hustling, bustling Arusha! Once inside, everything is wonderful and calm!
The staff is outstanding, always smiling and helpful. They can answer any questions and get you a safe taxi, etc.
The rooms are spotless , modern and beautiful. All you could ask for in amenities!
The food is delicious and their service is exceptional. We basically ate all our meals there rather than try to find something else. Their menu should satisfy most people and I am sure if you wanted something special, they could accommodate you.
Highly recommend the Sanna Boutique if you are in Arusha!

Our room was very spacious,clean and quiet.
Service was as excellent on the rooftop bar and restaurant which was also a great spot to sit and have a cocktail.
Breakfast and dinner were excellent also and the manager, Prince, was always on hand with information, recommendations and a friendly chat.
We fancied a swim one afternoon and the front desk arranged a taxi to take us to a sister hotel with a pool set within amazing gardens.
Thank you Prince for all your help, we hope to come back one day!

The property itself was decent, but the staff and their attention deserve 10 stars. Throughout my three-week trip in this beautiful country, one thing has stood out everywhere I’ve stayed: exceptional hospitality that makes you feel like family and truly at home. This property especially impressed me with their care and attentiveness. I felt genuinely welcomed and well taken care of. Very happy with my stay.

My stay at Sanna Boutique Hotel in Arusha was a perfect blend of comfort and modern design. The room was impressively large, immaculately clean, and thoughtfully laid out. I loved the mix of tiled floors in the entry and bathroom with cozy carpet in the sleeping area. The bathroom was a highlight - a true four-piece setup with a whirlpool tub, spacious walk-in shower, plush bathrobes and slippers, and a hairdryer.
The only thing missing? A bit more counter space.
Storage was abundant, with plenty of closet space, a double luggage rack, and even a full kitchen counter. The lighting system is automated, and there's an in-room safe for peace of mind.
The rooftop restaurant was a great place to start and end the day - breakfast is included, and dinner was both delicious and beautifully presented, all served with sweeping views of the city and mountains. Service throughout the hotel was excellent.
I also had a phenomenal massage with Neema - highly recommended, especially after a safari or Kilimanjaro climb.
One note: credit card payments come with a 4% surcharge. They require a $5O US deposit. I gave them cash, for which I got a receipt, so I wouldn't be charged another surcharge plus l'd be guaranteed to get my money back next day. And while the $70 airport transfer was on time, the driver's lack of caution stood out in an otherwise great stay.

Our visit to the Sanna did not start well, there was a snafu with our reservation, resulting in us being moved to their eco lodge on arrival. The staff was very gracious in trying to make up for this, and the owner personally came to right this. The hotel is beautiful, i fully recommend upgrading the suite. There is a rooftop restaurant and bar that has beautiful views. The bell tower and market is within walking distance, however vendors make walking the streets annoying. They have a transfer service from the airport that is worth reserving. The hotel has spa services that are relaxing for weary travelers.

Modern. Clean. Central. Large rooms. Range of tv channels. Staff friendly. Reported banking noise above room which reception stated that they would investigate but no response after this. Noise heard again the same night and the next morning. It did disturb sleep. On check out, manager asked after our stay and when informed, stated that it was the kitchen as the hotel has a rooftop restaurant. Apologised and asked if there was anything that he could. I would definitely stay again but not in 1307.

The hotel is nice, but they don't allow you to bring food and drinks to the room, which is weird and not good. I have never been to a hotel that does that. They most likely want to you eat and buy at their restaurant everyday, which we did not do. Staff was very nice.

Great view of mt maru

This hotel was definitely too expensive for what we got. The television didn’t work properly, the bathtub flooded, we ran out of hot water when trying to use the bathroom and shower, and wasn’t worth the $150 away paid for it. Had it been half the price, it would’ve been fine.

The best thing about it was the wonderful restaurant on the roof that overlooked the city with an epic view of mount Maru. Very nice food, very nice staff.

Ok

Nice view from the terrace, and very spacious rooms. Food was good too.

Unfortunately, my bath was covered in dirt. I think it just hadn’t been used in a while.
$50 cash deposit on arrival is awkward. 4% charge on card transactions seems odd too.
The building itself smelt of stale smoke , the rooms were non smoking though.

Overall, wouldn’t return.
