We had a wonderful stay at this hotel for 2 days. We were 4 adults with 2 rooms and thwy were both beautiful!!! The hotel is so beautifully decorated and thw grounds are stunning. The staff were so friendlu and helpful. David and joanni at thw front desk were phenomenal. They even gave us a box breakfast early morning before our taxi to the airport which was delicious, as the breakfast had not started yet. It was delicious and we were so grateful! They areanges airport transfer, which was perfect and punctual. The restaurant was lovely and the food delicious! The waiter was so friendly and attentive.

Stopped at this lodge of Altezza's and the other one they have in Moshi. I would definitely recommend this lodge if you are travelling for business/ want a quite trip away. However the other lodge has a bit more atmosphere and spirit as it has more walkers who have gone up or going up Kilimanjaro. Although this lodge is a walk away from the centre of Moshi where most of the locals head at night. Maybe not the safest place, but definitely an experience. The BBQ steak from this lodge is amazing, the chef was so helpful and went the extra mile to accommodate for our needs. The staff were also very helpful and made us feel welcomed. Overall, if you are looking for peace and quiet after a hike up Kilimanjaro this is the place to stay, staff were great and accommodating.

i only got to stay one of my 2 nights booked. but, it was very pleasant. i was promptly met at the airport and shuttled to the hotel. the check in was easy and was in my room in no time. after flying 30+ hours this was very important to me. the bed was comfortable and the shower was hot. i was not too hungry due to jet lag, but the meals other diners had looked quite nice. i did have a bowl of super that was very tasty.

We had a great stay at the Altezza lodge while in Moshi! The staff was so friendly, good dinner, reliable WiFi in the rooms. They even packed us fruit to go when we left for the airport at 4am! Great, comfortable place to stay if you want to be around the Kilimanjaro area!

I would highly recommend staying at Altezza Lodge. The staff are incredibly friendly and really made the stay enjoyable. The rooms were clean, the bed comfortable, and the air conditioning was greatly appreciated. The surrounding area is beautiful and I wish I had time to take advantage of the pool. There's an restaurant on site, which is super convenient. The food was delicious and the breakfast was hearty. I could not have asked for a better stay and would happily stay here again.

Good place to rest before / after your trek

Very nice and clean room in Moshi, good value for money and good location near some good restaurants. I only stayed for a short night before departing early morning for a Kili trek, but everything was above expectations. Breakfast was a bit poor but there are nice cafeterias in town to make up for it.

I would have given full stars if we hadn’t been given a room and a few hours later asked to move. We had unpacked and had things all over, because someone else had booked it, even though we had booked too. Other than that the food, staff especially the young man, nothing was too much trouble.

I have stayed at this property many times in the past, but it has been nearly a year since my last stay. A lot changed in that year. First the wifi was not connected to the internet for the entire long weekend I stayed there. Second it is common in Tanzania for the power to go out during the day. In the past this hotel has run a generator and it has not been a problem. This time the power was out for a whole day but the only thing the generator seemed to be running was the lobby area. I lost a half day of work once my laptop battery went dead. They had problems with the hot water in my original suite room, but they did switch me to another room with hot water working.
