Everything was great. Lovely room. Great view. One small issue. There were no plugs near the bed, so I had to lug my phone on the other side of the room.

Good location near the main Moshi Arusha road and yet quiet, clean rooms, great garden. We arrived late and had dinner at one of the restaurants, the menu was a little limiting.

A sanctuary within a busy large town. Very clean and super helpful Staff. The food, whether breakfast, lunch or supper was delicious and tasty. On the flip side, in areas it was tired and out of 3 different rooms, the shower/ bath combo always wanted to leak. All in all, a very good hotel to rest and recuperate after scaling Mt Kilimanjaro

4/10 Poor

The staff was excellent and helpful. Food was also great. However, the design of the bathroom shower was terrible and make having a shower very difficult. We had water going everywhere and we had limited towels. We kept asking for towels and barely got what we needed.
