Outstanding Food & Even Better Service!
Pros:

I can’t say enough good things about this spot! The vibe is so relaxed and "cool" the kind of place where you can really just settle in and enjoy yourself. Every bite of the food was incredible, you can tell they actually care about the quality they’re putting out.

Honestly, it was Elizabeth who made my visit so cool. She was so attentive and genuinely kind, making sure i had everything i needed without ever being overbearing.

It’s those personal touches that turn a good meal into a great memory. I’m already telling all my friends they have to check this place out. I’ll definitely be back often.

The hotel is comfortable and adequate as a jumping off point for Safari or a Kilimanjaro trip.

We had a great time at the Keys Hotel in Moshi. We stayed for several days before and after climbing Kilimanjaro before and after safari. The rooms are clean and have everything you need.

Friendly staff, great location for Kilimanjaro activities
Pros:

All the front desk staff, security staff and other employees were very nice and professional. They also had good recommendations for things to do in the area. The hotel was 10 minutes walking distance from the center of Moshi and the staff advised us on the safe way to hire a bajaji (3-wheeled) transport. The hotel restaurant was great, the servers were fun and enjoyed helping us with Swahili words. We had an emergency situation with another accommodation. They helped us to resolve the problem by talking with the other hotel owner in Swahili. When it became clear we had nowhere to stay, they found a room for us.

Very lovely 🥰
Pros:

om the moment we arrived at Keys Hotel along Uru Road in Moshi, we felt warmly welcomed by the attentive, friendly staff — especially Foya whose cheerful professionalism made our arrival smooth and enjoyable. The hotel is ideally located within walking distance to the Moshi town centre, and on clear days, you can enjoy breathtaking views of the snowcapped peak of Mount Kilimanjaro right from the grounds

Unprofessional and Defensive Handling of a Lost Items
Pros:

I stayed at Keys Hotel in Moshi and, unfortunately, left behind some personal items. When I contacted the hotel shortly after my stay to follow up, I expected a basic level of professionalism and effort in helping me locate them. Instead, I received a defensive and dismissive response.

Rather than showing concern or offering to double-check, I was told the hotel “does not have a habit of stealing” and was asked to question my travel companions. This kind of response is completely inappropriate and unprofessional. A guest seeking help with lost items should not be met with thinly veiled accusations or be made to feel as though they are being unreasonable for asking.

The lack of accountability and basic customer service in this situation was deeply disappointing and reflects poorly on the hotel’s management. I would not recommend this hotel to travelers who expect integrity, courtesy, and responsible service.
