Palace Hotel Arusha β Central Arusha's Practical Base
Palace Hotel Arusha is a centrally located hotel in the heart of Arusha β steps from the Natural History Museum and just 3 minutes by foot from the famous Arusha Clock Tower and the Maasai Market. The prime central position makes it the most convenient option for travellers who need to arrange last-minute safari bookings, visit tour operators or shop in central Arusha before or after the Northern Circuit. The hotel has a spa, mountain views and a selection of comfortable rooms.
Reviews are mixed β positive comments emphasise the convenient central location, spacious rooms, good breakfast variety and helpful staff; critical reviews note variable cleanliness in some rooms. The hotel is better used as a practical one or two-night transit base than a destination in its own right. At $32/night for budget options, it offers exceptional central Arusha value.

Palace Hotel Arusha is a practical budget-to-mid-range choice for a central Arusha transit stay. The Clock Tower proximity is excellent for tour operator appointments, shopping and restaurant access. Service consistency varies β at the price, it offers good central value. For higher quality Arusha accommodation, Gran MeliΓ‘ or Mount Meru Hotel are the recommended alternatives.β The SafariBando team
