Hotel l Annexe

... we expected everything to be booked out well in advance. We booked our accommodation eight months ago, and then only got the "annexe" as the hotel itself was booked out.  We believe it is a combination of there being a lot more accommodation here ...

... prophetic these words were.   Castro transported us in his battered old nissan to the bustling town of Moshi and the Keys Annexe Hotel about a mile from town which was to be our home until our assault on Kilimanjaro began. We had been travelling ...

... . A good meal in the restaurant was followed by entertainment from a pianist in the lounge. We walked cautiously back to the annexe, some 100 yards away and saw 2 large deer grazing in the moonlight just under the verandah. We crept closer and ...

... Code: if it's bigger it has right of way. In the evening we ate at the Golden Palate in the Mamalla Bhavan Annexe. They have an outdoor eating area (and aircon inside), nice vegetarian food and very cold Kingfisher. The seaside restaurants are goods ...

... industry to brand it a party and resort holiday location. The afternoon was finished off with a swim in the hotel's pool on the 8th floor annexe roof, overlooking the city. The pool wasn't heated but we were hot from running up and down the Marble ...

... and I think we were put in a room rather above our station as I had booked for an ordinary room in the Annexe, and we're in a corner suite in the main hotel. Luckily I have a useful receipt saying we've paid in full. We couldn't go straight in: we were ...

... to them.  One was from Australia and the other from New Zealand both teaching for a year in China. Our room was in the annexe, was a good size but it was cold even though the radiator was hot.  The computer didn't work and nether did the tv - ...

... delivering us to his hotel. Only at this point did he advise us that he was fully booked and putting us into his "annexe" i.e. another hostel, for the first 2 nights. Fair enough we thought, until we saw the accommodation. Defintely not what we´d ...

... . Tomorrow is the briefing day with the guides and porters, so the whole team will finally meet. Saw an American doctor flaked out in the hotel reception, he'd just summited but was in a bad way, he'd been very ill on the decent and said he'd never do it ...

... very kind, and English-speaking, guy in the store. So that was nice to have ticked off. Tonight has been spent down in the hotel lobby, with a lot of watching ABC News 24 on my laptop. Thankfully, ABC have taken the usual geo-block on the online stream of ...

... all up. We jumped on a Metro and travelled the two (very quick) stations down to Jacques Bonsergent and walked up to our hotel here. It's a pretty decent place for what we paid, I guess. Slightly bigger room than London, but no included breakfast. My ...

... simply unable to deviate from the set menu. The Mitru hotel, which has a variety of grades to go for, including the hostel annexe is good for the price.  The breakfast is adequate (typical) and the coffee instant which is not so good, but perhaps ...

... summit certificates and signed the book, then we jumped on the bus back to Moshi with the porters and guides. When we arrived at the hotel, we had a cold beer and I had my first shower in 7 days which was glorious, feel a little more human now! The Kili ...

... through the door I saw one guy so said hello...his reply was "Ssshhhh"....turned out someone was sleeping in the bed in the annexe part of the dorm, well I wasn't to know that. Of course that immediately put me off talking to that miserable bugger. So ...

... it is stunning here. Fabulous views of the alps, green mountain sides, cows with giant bells and of course swiss chalets. I am staying in the annexe of one of the hotels as it was half the price if I shared a bathroom. However I am the only one in it so ...

... ! Very awesome to see, even if the wind & temperature didn't make it perfect! We grabbed a baguette sandwich and a couple of chocolate croissants for dinner, which we've just enjoyed. And we're now down in the hotel lobby enjoying some internet time. ...
