East Point Hotel Moshi

I booked this hotel from my Emirates miles and wasn't sure what to expect but was very nicely surprised. Ok, it's not a luxurious hotel but the rooms are spacious and clean with a little balcony, beds are comfortable and the staff is beyond friendly and attentive. When I arrived from my Kili hike, I just wanted to take a hot shower but the electricity was down in the street so the staff heated a bucket of water for me to wash. It was soo nice. Luckily later the electricity came back so didn't have to sit around in the dark. Only the heater for the hot shower is set for luke warm and because it's very high at the ceiling you cannot change it so the water is not really hot. The breakfast is plenty with an egg, pancake, fruit, toast bread and tea or coffee. The view from the rooftop terrace is worth a visit, they offer a restaurant/bar service there even though it's not an official restaurant there. The hotel has an elevator. There is a market in the area if you need anything... very lively area. Generally I considered it a safe area. The moto taxi to the bus station costs about 2.000 Tsh.

We were looking for two days accomodation in a comfortable place and the taxi guy recommended East point. We enjoyed every minute of our stay due easy access of facilities with an elevetor and a very beautiful view of the Mount Kilimanjaro from the hotel rooftop. I definately recommend a place.
