Parkview Inn — Hotel in Kilimanjaro

I stayed here for two nights, once before the Kilimanjaro trek and once after. The place is pretty decent as a hotel, but a few experiences took it down to a three star.

The first night we stayed there was no mosquito nets and we discovered around 1am that a mosquito or two had gotten in. It said mosquito nets are available to put in, but it was so late it was easier to pull sheets over our heads. Additionally there was a pretty significant street of ants coming from the bathroom and going to the empty fridge and even to a few of our bags. I mentioned this at check out so they were aware.

The second stay they had mosquito nets ready to go, but we had a terribly loud air conditioner. It made weird sounds all night which made sleeping once again fitful. We were in the same room one floor down than our first stay and while I saw some ants in the bathroom they were only a few.

The good parts of this hotel are the restaurant, the pool, and the service. Everyone we encountered at the hotel have GREAT service including when they took inventory of our stuff that they were storing while we hiked the mountain.

They also managed to turn around all our dirty laundry from the hike (which was a lot) in something like 2-3 hours!! The person who did laundry was about to go home but they stayed just to do that.

All in all amazing service but depending on the room you get you may have...

Had a really nice 4 night stay at this hotel. A comfortable base for trips to nearby Mount Kilimanjaro, of which you have a great view of here. The receptionist, Jenny, gave us the honeymoon suite when we checked in. Legend. The room was spacious and luxurious. I was really happy with the aircon, hot water, and beds at this hotel. The only thing that wasn't great was the Wifi. The security is very good but necessary. Moshi didn't appear safe to me and there are no street lights at night. We went for a walk downtown on our first night, and it was our last. We got a lot of unwanted attention. The hotel is all fenced off and has a big security gate and guards. We were happy to spend the other evenings inside the grounds. They had a great pool, which we got maximum use out of, and the restaurant was fine. I had been forced to eat stews for 2 weeks before this on various safaris and camping trips in Africa, so it was so welcome to eat simple things here like pasta. When staying here, it was class getting up at dawn to go up to the patio on the top floor to watch the sunrise gradually light up this great mountain. I would really recommend this hotel...

Stayed at the Parkview Inn, Moshi before and after my trip to climb Mount Kilimanjaro. All the staff including receptionists, porters, cooks waitresses, and cleaners were all very well spoken and polite. Being ever so helpful when possible. The rooms were clean and comfortable and had mosquito nets fitted to beds. Good selection of foods at breakfast albeit for me the butter and jams etc need to be better presented (individual packets?) rather than exposed to all. Good choice af meals. I had masala chicken and steamed rice and their vanilla ice cream which was fantastic. Can be a bit of noise on the front road early in the morning but a good central location in the town next to banks, the market and supermarkets. The hotel has a nice relaxed seating area sound the pool albeit the loungers are a wee bit tired. Views of Mount Kilimanjaro on a clear day are unbeatable. The hotel made me feel safe and secure and also provided free WiFi throughout. Would stay again...
