Korona House Hotel

A very nice Bed&Breakfast hotel. Friendly and pleasant staff who did their best to maximize the accommodation. Clean nice rooms with a good standard. The only downside was the AC, it didn't work very well.

Excellent - Clean, healthy breakfast every morning, and dinner was delicious too. Very quiet and well-kept property. The staff was attentive and helpful the entire time. I highly recommend Korona House

Last July, we booked this B&B for our family consisting of 5 adults and 2 children (aged 5 and 2). We had a very warm welcome by the owner himself on one hand and also from the guys running the guesthouse on a daily base. During our preparation of our one week stay in Arusha as part of a one-month journey in Tanzania, we asked the owner if he could help us out to arrange some visits... We were really surprised to hear that Charles, the owner, is also offering and organizing trips... He made us a proposal to keep us busy the whole week and we were really astonished about the program he proposed,,, because it was really "tailored" to our demands, especially because of the two small children... They (and we also) had the time of their life!!! The service in the guesthouse was outstanding and very flexible. Everything we asked was possible... and the guys who are running the guesthouse did a great job and they were extremely friendly and helpful with the children. In a nutshell, this B&B (which offers also dinner for a fair price!!!) is highly recommended by us because they offer EVERYTHING to make your stay in Arusha as smooth as possible!!!

Since being in Tanzania, we’ve come to Korona 3-4 times. The staff are so sweet and treat us like family. There’s hot water, consistent electricity + WiFi, comfortable beds, a beautiful balcony overlooking a courtyard— what else can you ask for? You can easily take a dala dala into city center. Couldn’t recommend it more. Do yourself a favor and come!

Has all the amenities you would need maybe check out can be a little later but staff is very flexible and nice. My room smelled a little of mildew and the bedsheets but it’s humid overall great place still for the price it’s fair.

After months in Tanzania this was my last stop before heading home. What a relief. AC that worked. Very clean. Polite staff and the Very Best Food I'd had the whole trip. Freshly made each day, I was in absolute heaven. Please don't lose this guy. He is amazing. Thanks so much for putting up with me. Becca

The staff are the most amazing, friendly people you will meet in Tanzania! They have great recommendations on what to do in Arusha and the food and facilities are amazing. My friends and I returned four separate times while living in Tanzania for 4 months. I couldn’t recommend this place enough!

I stayed in Korona house for almost a week with my adult daughter in February both before and after a safari along the northers circuit. Korona house (and the adjacent property Korona Villa) are two large villas with about half a dozen guest rooms each, located in the outskirts of Arusha. The room interior is simply, but tastefully furnished in African style, the filling buffet breakfast (omlet to order, pancakes, peanut butter, honey, fruit, toast) is in an adjacent building or under a canopy roof in the courtyard. Everything is perfectly clean and in good working order (showers, hot water, etc..). The staff is exceptionally helpful and kind, we spend almost a week at the place and after a day or two we felt more like family than paying guests. Korona house has more the charm and feel of a homestay than a hotel. The only (slight) downside is the distance from the city centre, which requires transport of some kind. We used the public transport (dala dala), which passes right in front of the house. Once you get the hang of these minibuses (and are not afraid of sharing it with up to 15 or 20 other riders), the distance is not a problem (there is a bus every few minutes, they will stop right in front of you if you wave your hand). The Hotel serves food in the evening a la carte which is good, but we found it not quite as exceptional as some of the other reviewers have written; maybe the kitchen was a bit limited because we were the only guests most of the time (certainly Covid related). Overall I would highly recommend Korona House, in particular if one is looking more for a charming and homely stay rather than a more standard hotel experience with lots of features but little soul.

FRIENDLY STAFF. Staff was very friendly and made us feel at home. The breakfast was great, and the rooms were nice and clean. Swimming pool made our stay more interesting. Thank you for the wonderful service.
