This lodge is located on the top of the Ngorongoro crater, offering a fantastic view of the cratera below. All rooms do have a terrace facing the cratera down below. Breakfast menu and dinner are excellent quality and diversified. At dinner there was a presentation made by a Maaori group singing and dancing, when some guests also join in. Room is comfortable and so is it’s bathroom

WOW! The view from my room was to the Ngorongoro Crater and was amazing. Our rooms were very clean. Water for brushing teeth and drinking was provided along with amenities! We only got to stay one night. Very fine rooms, Excellent food. I wish we could have spent more than one night.

The trouble with this lodge is that it is so far removed from the African landscape that when in your room, you could be anywhere. The lodge sits high above the crater so you can't see any wildlife from your room, and there is none on the grounds. The dining area is fairly generic with "African" decorations. The Maasai group that comes in to dance and sell their wares seems like a sideshow; if you really want to see the Maasai, visit one of their villages. The room is comfortable with many plugs to recharge your electronics. The staff is prefunctory and the hustle and bustle of the lobby feels more like an urban setting. On the whole, I'd rather have stayed in a tent camp to be closer to what I'd come to see.

Stay here for the view! The view is incredible. Otherwise, the rooms are comfortable but modest. And, given the layout of the hotel, they can be quite a trek to get too from the main lobby. The staff are attentive. The restaurant is good but the guests make it less pleasant than some of the smaller properties. In short, one night's stay for only the view is perfect.

What a tourist factory! Loads of big groups, bad buffet food, noisy dining area. As to the rooms, they're ok, however heating wouldn't work and the nights are cold! The only good thing is its location and the lounge area that is very comfortable to relax after a long safari day and enjoy the view. Very expensive just for that perk.

As much as I love Serengeti Serena Lodge, I love Ngorongoro Serena more. Then people at the front desk were great in handling our large party. They give you juice and cold wet washcloths upon arrival. Each room overlooks the crater! The elevation is around 7K feet altitude so it gets cold at night. The food was good, served on a menu but with salad and dessert bar. All the chairs in the bar overlook the crater. I grabbed one next to the window. The hotel is in a great location not far from where the vehicles ascend the crater.
