Ruby Banipal

Liked: Amenities
The property is very nice, and I had a very enjoyable experience at the spa. Unfortunately there were a number of issues with several dining experiences. Steak cooked at the wrong temperatures, food coming out cold, coffee order incorrect. It was likely a one-off but given the number of issues I had I figured it was worth noting. The F&B manager responded swiftly and indicated they were working on (or would be working on) training to meet expectations.

Magnifique mais…

L’hôtel est superbe, luxueux, la végétation luxuriante. Très belle chambre avec lit Confortable SAUF le lit supplémentaire était horrible, avec tous les ressorts qu’on pouvait sentir avec juste la main, extra bed facturé 50 dollars. La réception nous a fait payer ce lit malgré notre réclamation… une HONTE d’avoir un matelas aussi horrible dans un établissement 5 étoiles, et dans lesquel la nuit coûte très cher

The Gran Melia Arusha was the perfect hotel to stay after our safari. The property is beautiful and very quiet (especially for a property surrounded by busy streets. The amenities at the hotel were fantastic and the options for dinning are varied, with the rooftop restaurant having an amazing view.
