Sanna Boutique Hotel
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Sanna Boutique Hotel is worth booking if you want a central Arusha base with a spa, gym and a well-tested review record, at roughly half the price of our 5-star pick. Look elsewhere if you are on a tight budget, and check extra costs such as airport shuttles and the security deposit.

Sanna is our Best Value pick in Arusha. It suits couples and solo travellers who want to walk to cafes and markets and still have a gym and spa on hand.
Guests rate it 8.5 out of 10 from 686 reviews. That is by far the largest review count of our three Arusha picks, which makes the score a reliable guide.
Skip it if you want the cheapest room: our Budget pick cost about a quarter as much. Skip it too if you dislike surprise extras, since guests flag shuttle prices and deposits.
Location and getting around
The address is 23101 Goliondoi Road, Ngorongoro building, 10th floor. In other words, the hotel occupies an upper floor of a larger building rather than a standalone house. The location score is 9.0.
By straight-line estimate, the Arusha Declaration Monument is about 0.7 km away, roughly 9 minutes on foot. Sheikh Amri Abeid Memorial Stadium is about 0.9 km, around 11 minutes. These are estimates, not measured routes.
Guests describe a central spot near the Clock Tower, the Masai market, cafes and local amenities. Compared with our Budget pick, you are much closer to the action here.
What guests say
Location and staff lead the praise. Guests describe a friendly, professional team that gives a warm welcome and helpful service.
The criticism is about extras rather than the room itself. Room rates are seen as reasonable, but guests find airport shuttles and security deposits expensive. Ask for these costs in writing before you arrive.
Price and how it compares with our other two picks
The reference price was €174.49 per night, seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 for 2 adults, about €348.98 for both nights. It is not a live quote. Check today's price for your dates.
That is about 5% above the sample median of €165.76 per night.
Aves Executive Hotel, our Budget pick, was €38.87 per night with an 8.1 score and 3 stars, but its location score was 6.8. Gran Meliá Arusha, our Luxury pick, was €369.37 per night with a 9.3 score and 5 stars. Sanna, a 4-star, sits in the middle: a central location and spa facilities for less than half the price of the Gran Meliá.
The property lists a gym, spa, restaurant, terrace, free parking, free Wi-Fi and air conditioning. Breakfast options listed are Continental, vegan, halal, gluten-free, kosher, American and breakfast to go. Whether breakfast is included in your rate is not confirmed.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 4 eligible properties in Arusha. Sanna ranked joint second on review score and had far more reviews than the others. Our Best Value slot balances score, review count and price, and it is not necessarily the cheapest option.
