Hotels in ArushaA simple independent hillside inn with a lively bar
8.3/10
A friendly, good-value Arusha base, provided you can live with evening music.
Boulevard Inn Mt Meru is a simple independent hillside inn, not a polished resort. It's a strong pick for good-value nights before or after a safari: Booking.com and Tripadvisor guests repeatedly praise the helpful staff, comfortable rooms and generous restaurant food. Mount Meru views add appeal, and the hotel's own website confirms a swimming pool and fitness room—useful extras beyond the basic accommodation.
The main compromise is the lively bar: music has disturbed guests on more than one site, although others report quiet rooms farther away. Room size and comfort also vary, and the uphill approach is less convenient than staying downtown. Confirm breakfast inclusion in writing; an Expedia guest reported a mismatch that management subsequently addressed. We'd skip it if uninterrupted early nights or consistent hotel-style polish matter most.
