Spend three nights all together at Aishi and the best thing in this hotel is the garden and pool area: well maintained, peacefull and lush surroundings. Room was clean and nicely decorated, I suppose the decoration was quite new. There were all basic equipments except air-conditioning (only table fan), but personally didn't really miss it, because nights were cooler there.... More

Have stayed a couple of times here when climbing Kilimanjaro. A great spot for starting at the Machame gate which is just a 20 minute drive away but a way out of Moshi town. Lovely peaceful grounds and a nice pool. Food was good and the staff friendly and helpful. Room was clean but basic, some of our group had... More

3 of us stayed here for 2 nights before our Kilimanjaro climb and one night afterwards. First impressions were nice with nice gardens and a decent size pool albeit a bit cloudy. That was the good part. We had two rooms, one of which was changed after 6 attempts to find a key that would open it. The showers in... More

You're in the middle of rural villages and you're about to climb Mount Kilimanjaro, where you'll spend a week in the wilderness with relatively few minimalist comforts. So, you would really want a good's night sleep before you leave civilization, and Protea Hotel Aishi, part of a Tanzanian chain of hotels and resorts, fits the bill. On beautifully landscaped grounds... More

We stayed there 2 nights: The girl at the reception: very cool, no smile and very unfriendly. The rooms (we had 3 in 2 days): no hot shower, no mosquito nets, no windows which you could really close. We felt very unsecured at the first floor. TV: yes but no signal. Water in the basin: dirty. The meals : excellent. More

Stayed two nights at this hotel, one either side of a trip up Kili. I was pleasantly surprised by the look and feel of the hotel and thought the public areas and the rooms were good. As for other reviewers, I must admit that the shower temperature is a challenge - getting anything other than cold and boiling hot is... More

We were climbing Kili, and stayerd there before and after. Our tour company had booked it for us, and after looking at the website, we were quite excited to get there. We had just been on safari for 9 days, and needed a hot shower, to wash some clothes, and a good, hot meal. When we got there, it looked... More

The outside of the hotel & grounds are very nice. The pool area is nice to lounge around, and the hotel is situated conveniently on the slopes of Mt. Kilimanjaro. There are several hikes that you can book through the front desk for a fee, some to waterfalls and some to the village of Machame. We particularly enjoyed the village... More

Stayed here both before and after our trek up Kilimanjaro and can't say enough about the setting, the quality of the property, the food, and especially GM Eric Muiruri and his entire staff! The hotel is located on the way to Machame Gate and the setting is beautiful - an old private estate turned into a small hotel. Grounds are... More

I came to Tanzania to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro and stayed at the Protea Hotel Aishi. This hotel is nestled among hundreds of trees and and large lush lawns. It has a heated swimming pool and a gym.
