The place is moderate but them make up for it in their customer service. They have heaters for the cold and a staff that is always ready to check on you and service you whenever you would need them. The area is also in a quite location with tones of privacy

Hill View Hotel has nice and cozy rooms, a well stocked bar and a multi-cuisine restaurant. I had a pleasant two nights stay, however, there was a problem with the WIFI connection in the room which they said, was being fixed but I had my phone so was saved from the boredom !

Hill View provided so much more than what I had expected! Great service, good food, amazing water pressure in the shower (and hot water), BBC on the TV, outdoor seating in the bar for hanging out. This is where I'll be staying next time I'm in Mbeya!

Clean, crisp room with all basic amenities. All you could wish for after a day in the bush. Food in the in-house restaurant is varied, from European fare to favorite local dishes. (I appreciated the kiti-moto with ugale) And to top it up, live music on Saturday night with very talented your local performers. An unexpected highlight that I appreciated very much!

Unfortunately not a good experience. Room noisy as close to the hotel kitchen. Bathroom had no hot water and shower head sprinkling water in all kinds of directions. Food took 1.5 hour from order to serving. The bed was quite comfortable though with good pillows and duvet.

I arrived to this hotel after a long journey back from Iringua and decided to stay in a more upscale place the the "Mbeya Hotel". I was given the last room available that day on the ground floor next to the restaurant. the setup was nice for long term stay as there was three rooms that shared a nice spacious area a common bathroom and kitchen. The room itself was of on the small side with no desk to work table. Bathroom was clean and newly tiled but there was no stand up shower or tub. one side of the bathroom had the shower and when you used it the entire floor area became wet and ther was no squidgy to deal with the mess. We ordered food at 7 pm ( cashew chicken) and it took over 1:20 hours to prepare, and when it came it was very bland compared to the other restaurant i have eaten in Tanzania. I paid 120,000 Tsh for the room and I was awaken multiple times by heavy employees chater that congregated just outside my window. I will probably try this hotel next time but will make sure I get a better room

This was my second stay at this hotel--I was previously there in February 2013. It is overall quite a nice place. The rooms are quite small, but they are clustered in groups--three or four rooms open out to one really nice common area. So there is nowhere to sit in the room, but there is plenty of space in the common area. I found the service greatly improved since a year ago. Last year I would always wait at least an hour for my food in the restaurant; this time my food came in half an hour. And the food was really quite good this time (did they get a new chef?). The reception staff have also stepped up their game. And the wifi is more reliable than it was. I just hope they keep up the good work!

This is a well appointed comfortable and modern hotel with all the physical amenities that you could expect. Regrettably, most of the staff, although very welcoming and friendly, they are barely competent - and I am judging by Tanzanian standards. This example is typical. I asked for two large bottles of cold water. I asked in both English and in Kiswahili. 10 minutes later I was brought one small bottle of warm water. When I explained again what I wanted he went away and came back with one large bottle of cold water and one small bottle of warm water. His third trip was successful. But 2 bottles of water had taken nearly half an hour. Bathe restaurant is not bad but food takes well over an hour from order to table. I recommend pre-ordering for a given time. On my third day this worked and I ate at approximately the time I had planned.
With some staff training this could be a really nice hotel in a pretty unprepossessing town.
