The Better Inn

We loved it from beginning to end. Amos (manager), from the first moment offers everything and makes your stay as pleasant as possible. We were pleasantly surprised by Moshi, it has countless corners that are beautiful. Issa (Amos' partner) was with us for 2 days, in which we were able to discover Hotsprings (spectacular) and a couple of routes through Marangu, where you can do the Café tour and the Ndoro waterfalls. We had a small mishap with the reflex camera and Issa helped us in everything to contact a guy in the city and be able to solve it, Thank you! :) You can also hire Safaris with them.

I spent a whole month at the Better Inn and had a great time there. My room was small but nice, the bed was comfortable, the food was delicious, fresh and plentiful. The room was cleaned every 2-3 days, including making the bed and spraying mosquito repellent. If I had wanted to, my clothes and shoes would have been washed too. The fan was a blessing in the evening for fresh air before going to sleep, and I didn't think it was too loud. In the event of a power outage, the generator was switched on, so you didn't have to go without light or WiFi. WiFi reception was good in both areas (sleeping, outside area), and there are also sockets in all areas, so you could also work on site. Excursions (e.g. coffee and waterfall, safari or Maasai village) can be booked directly through the hotel. Even if I wanted to drive somewhere in the Bajaji, the staff organized one for me. The district is a bit far from the center, but you can get there on foot in 20 - 30 minutes, otherwise there are Bajaji or Bodaboda (motorcycles) as taxis everywhere. In the area there are several small and large supermarkets as well as the district market and many small and large grill kitchens, so you don't always have to eat in the hotel. If you do: The food in the hotel was very tasty and very generous 😋 For me, the nearby but almost abandoned airfield was also a great place to go, here you have a great, unobstructed view of Kilimanjaro in the morning and evening hours, and there are also lots of birds here. I really enjoyed watching the sunrise and sunset from the roof terrace. But the biggest plus point goes to the employees. Be it the boss or manager, the chef or service or housekeeping: everyone looked after me very well, was very nice and friendly and dealt with problems or requests immediately. I would love to come back ☀️

The staff of the establishment is friendly, the hostel is in Moshi and this was confirmed by the description that we had read when we booked. The value for money is good. The rooms are simple, showers, toilet and sink together, bed with mosquito net, fan. The establishment was well maintained in terms of cleanliness.
