Hotels in Moshi

Moshi’s hotels are often a launchpad for Kilimanjaro climbs or safaris, so proximity to the town center (for gear shopping) or the airport (Kilimanjaro International, JRO) matters. You’ll want a spot to rest after travel and organize for the days ahead.
Chanya Lodge is a standout for pre-trip stays. This 4-star option, about 2 km from the town center, offers spacious rooms with comfy beds, hot showers, and free Wi-Fi—essentials for shaking off jet lag. Its rooftop bar with Kilimanjaro views is a bonus for getting psyched up, and the pool and gym help you stretch out before the physical challenge. Guests love the free airport shuttle and luggage storage, making it practical for early departures. It’s a bit pricier (around $80-$120/night), but the convenience and comfort justify it.
The Maridadi Hotel, right in central Moshi, is a solid mid-range pick (roughly $50-$70/night). It’s close to outfitters and cafes, ideal for last-minute prep. Rooms are simple but clean, with AC and hot water, and the free breakfast fuels you up. The pool is a nice touch for relaxing, though it’s not as luxurious as higher-end spots. Its location means easy access to Moshi’s bustle, which can be a pro or con depending on your noise tolerance.

Moshi’s hotels don’t rival Arusha’s sheer volume, but they’re tailored to the Kilimanjaro crowd—functional yet welcoming. Whether you’re gearing up or winding down, there’s something here to match your vibe. Let me know if you want more specifics or a different angle!
