Keys Hotel โ Moshi's Established Family-Run Town Hotel
Keys Hotel is a family-run 3-star hotel on Uru Road in Moshi, a short walk from the town centre, with an "African touch" applied to an international hotel service standard. The hotel has both premium rooms in the main building and African-style cottages spread through a garden area โ the cottage rooms are older but more atmospheric. A swimming pool, nightclub, spa services and a concierge for arranging Kilimanjaro climbs and safaris give it a full-service character at a mid-range price.
Keys holds a TripAdvisor Travellers' Choice award and is particularly noted for its centrally convenient location โ walking distance to Moshi's cafes, restaurants and local markets. On clear days, Kilimanjaro's snowcap is visible from the premises. The pizzas cooked on site and the open terrace dining areas are frequently praised. At $74-111/night it is a well-positioned town hotel for budget-conscious Kilimanjaro climbers and safari travellers.
Accommodation
Thirty air-conditioned rooms across the main building and garden cottages. Mini-bars, safes, satellite TVs, premium bedding. Outdoor pool, nightclub, spa services, restaurant, bar, shop and gift shop. Tour desk for Kilimanjaro and safari bookings. Car hire, luggage storage and concierge. Free breakfast and WiFi.
