Lawns Hotel

Evrything about this place was very good. Location, food, service, play areas for kids incl. pool. I am not giving a high mark for sleep quality because there were loud music playing all night coming from the city. We stayed there over the weekend and our room had closer proximity to the city than other rooms, so this can easily be avoided I am sure.

We had the pleasure of spending four nights at this beautiful hotel located in the wonderfully picturesque Usambara mountains. The hotel is located a ten minute walk from the town of Lushoto. From the moment we arrived we were made feel very welcome and Alex and his staff couldn’t have done more for us. Each member of staff deserves to be recognised for their friendliness and service - they were absolutely excellent. Alex even arranged for some of our luggage that we had left behind at a hotel in Arusha to be bussed to Lushoto. He handled all the communication with the previous hotel and had the items back for us within 2 days! The rooms are a good size and the beds were very comfortable. The en-suites were clean, with hot water always available and the rooms were serviced daily. The hotel boasts a variety of facilities including a swimming pool, restaurant, games room, bar, a delightful terrace and parking. At nighttime while we were there they lit fires which gave a very cozy feel to the atmosphere. The buffet breakfast each morning was a mixture of fruit, cereals, pancakes and the whatever way you liked your eggs - always delicious. Fresh organic coffee too! We had dinner there twice and the food was very enjoyable. We truly enjoyed our time at The Lawns and look forward to returning some day - in the meantime we would like to offer a huge thanks to Alex and all the staff for making our stay so enjoyable!
