    I feel like the fqn we had was not enough sometimes, it was a little bit hot at night.

    The view of Kilimanjaro is breath taking. It is a quiet, relaxing place and calm, safe neighborhood. Staff is very friendly and helpfull. Food is tasty.

    The bathroom needs to be upgraded. For one day it's ok but can't imagine it for more than 2 days.

    We went for a business trip and this Hotel was perfect after a long day to relax and enjoy the calm and surrounding trees. Staff were very helpful.

    I liked it all! ❤️

    Tiophil and Janeth were amazing! They came to pick me up at the bus station and welcomed me with open arms. I felt instantly at home 🏡 They had warm personalities, were lovely to chat with, and their hotel is gorgeous! The whole place is like staying in a mini jungle. They serve great breakfast and bottomless coffee, and the ambiance of the place is fantastic. I was coming from traveling for the last three months, so it was a nice place to lay out and relax for a bit. The staff were kind and on top of things - for example, the original room I was placed in had some issues with the shower head, and they instantly found me a new space and fixed the situation. They had a posse of cute puppies that were just born there, too! 😍 Tiophil helped me get to my airport shuttle on my last day and even allowed me to stay and chill way past my checkout time. When I got to town he showed me a great place to eat and the whole of Moshi knew him! Overall, my stay was lovely, the beds were comfy, and I finally had hot water after weeks of camping and hiking through Kenya and Tanzania. The prices are extremely reasonable, and Tiophil also offers tours around the area. I would def suggest this place if you like good food, friendly vibes, chill music, lush gardens, and a quiet space away from the hustle and bustle of Moshi town. Thanks again, Royal Wonders staff, Janeth, and Tiophil for making my stay homey and absolutely lovely. Can't wait to see you all again real soon!

    No aircon in the room. Too be fair it was the hottest time of year so understandably the aircon would generally not have been an issue.

    Wonderful staff. Aaron went out of his way to make the stay comfortable and make me feel at home. Offering help and advice about moshi. Really nice relaxing feel to the place with a beautiful garden and great views of kilimanjaro. The room was spacious and great value for the price. The breakfast was delicious and enough to fill you up for the day. The area was nice to walk around and was walking distance to moshi town

    Upstairs only the 2 large sofas have cushions. The chairs were a bit hard to sit on for a long period and were missing cushions

    The place is lovely and we ended up extending our stay. The room is basic (exactly what I expected for the price we paid) , but has a large comfortable bed with a large mosquito net. The shower is very hot, which wasn't the case in other places we stayed. We loved the rooftop terrace where we sat every morning and evening relaxing with views towards Kilimanjaro. The staff in the hotel was very friendly and has helped us to find our way around Moshi. They also helped us to get a large load of washing done for a very reasonable price. All was returned the same evening. A shared TukTuk downtown is only 700 per person and it takes around 25 min to walk the same distance. The nearest supermarket is only 5 min away. If you fancy having a day at a pool, you can simply purchase a day pass in one of the hotels with a pool (the closest one was a 20 min walk away) . There is also a large swimming pool in the YMCA, but the pool is only for swimming and women need to wear a bathing costume.

    The location is a bit away from Moshi center but still reachable by foot

    The stay was great, it was even no problem to extend it for another night. Theo also arranged a trip to the waterfall and a coffee tour for us which was amazing and he was very helpful in general. The room and the bathroom have all necessities and the hot water was working very well and the breakfast was delicious. Looking forward to coming back whenever I am in Moshi :)

    .

    It's like a community camp for locals and visitors and it makes you feel welcome. Really nice people, good food, great view to the Kilimandscharo from the rooftop. Flexibel they arranged everything to our needs. The rooms are basic, just for sleeping , not really a place for chilling.

    The host and everyone from the staff is extremely friendly! They managed all of our tours and recommended places. Also the outer area is so beautiful. They are still renovating this place but you can see the progress day by day. This place is already very nice but I know its going to be amazing, once it's done!

    They didn't have a room ready for us so we had to wait for the above-mentioned plumber.

    The onsite manager found a plumber to fix the shower on a weekend afternoon. It has a view of Kilimanjaro.

    I regret to say that I wouldn't visit this hotel again. To put it succinctly, the place feels incredibly claustrophobic. As travelers, our aim is to stay in hotels that serve as gateways to adventure everywhere. However, at this location, it was impossible to use Uber, and no taxis were available either. Regardless of the destination—be it tourist spots, the airport, or bus stations—we had no choice but to rely on the hotel staff, who charged exorbitant fees. A journey that should cost 1000 shillings (about $0.25) was billed at $5, a trip to the waterfall was $50, and reaching the hot springs cost $35, which are steep prices. While I understand that hotels tend to mark up the cost for booking taxis or Uber compared to local rates, the prices here were outrageously high. Attempts to hail a taxi or Uber on my own were fruitlessly redirected to the hotel's taxi service, which was quite frustrating. The food was mediocre, and the rooms lacked hot showers. With no freedom to explore or find more economical transportation options, most guests end up spending their day within the hotel to save money. For these reasons, I cannot recommend this hotel.

    Staff is best

    During our backpacking trip in November 2023 we stayed at Royal Wonders for 6 nights. From the beginning, when we were picked up at the bus stop in Moshi to the very last day, when the owner organised for us to be picked up again, we had a fantastic time. The property is beautiful, the rooms are spacious and the staff are extremely friendly and helpful. When we asked the owner about a day trip to Kilimanjaro he organised a hike for us the very next morning. It’s the perfect place to relax for a few days or to do all kind of day trips and activities in the area (hot springs, waterfalls, karaoke, painting nights, Kilimanjaro, Arusha etc.) What we loved most are the beautiful terrace and the lush gardens. Hopefully we get to come again in the future.

    Everything was perfect. The rooms are clean and have enough space to handle the luggage. Bed is comfy and the bathrooms are very nice. Hot water every time and perfect water-pressure. Table and chair for working are also available. We had good WIFI everywhere. The restaurant is upstairs with a nice view to the Kilimanjaro! We relaxed a lot there. The whole area is like a Oase with a lot of plants and banana trees. It’s also very quite. Food was delicious and the breakfast is on point. Very good service and we never wait long. Everybody in this hotel are so friendly and do everything to make your stay comfortable. The owner also helped us to get very good activities for good price and drive us also to the bus station. There a a few restaurants in the near and also two supermarkets. You have to walk maximum 5 minutes. We felt home and extend two times. If we come back to Tanzania we will stay there 100%
