Arusha Coffee Lodge
We were only at the Coffee Lodge for 1 night at the beginning of our trip, but we had an excellent time there.

Immediately adjacent to Arusha airport (not noisy) but incredibly convenient.

Although we were here under 24 hours it was a nice stay and a wonderful lodge. We had one small issue with the dinner as they didn't honour our half board and charged for dinner.
However, Expert Africa was prompt to resolve the issue and refund the full amount - no questions asked!
Arusha Coffee Lodge review
Just aeffecient and convenient short stay but

Our room itself was very nice, but lacking in privacy and the staff needed more training. Everyone was just gauging for tips and it was very uncomfortable. We had three persons taking our luggage, which we thought could have been done by one person with a cart. We tipped everyone and thanked them for the service. Then one of them came back unsolicitedly to give us towels and water (which we already had in the room), left dirty footprints all around the room, and asked for more tips.
Every staff that walked by our room would look into our room (probably out of curiosity). Because the landscape was so sparse, we didn't feel like we had any privacy and had to keep the curtains down most of the time. Aside from the manager who greeted us professionally when we arrived, it was a fairly uncomfortable stay and not at all worth the price tag.
We had a much more enjoyable time staying at the Rivertrees Country Inn on our last night in Arusha.
Arusha Coffee Lodge is ok
Arusha Coffee Lodge is a good place to stop and rest before the safari. Nothing special.
