Moshi Leopard Hotel — Hotel in Kilimanjaro

I recently stayed at the Leopard hotel for a week. Generally, my experience is positive. The majority of the staff are friendly and welcoming - especially the restaurant staff! ||The food is quite over priced for moshi - but it is good. ||My room was comfortable.
