We stayed only one night at this hotel almost for mistake (we planned to arrive to Tanzania 1 day later but our flight changed) so that we have to book a night in Kili before our activities started; and I would like to say that it was a beautiful surprise!
The hotel is really clean, staff people is very friendly specially the manager "Teddy" and the night receptionist "Innocent", since we arrive at one pretty rainy night, Innocent received us so nice and friendly.
And the most important: Is right in from of Kilimanjaro Mountain! We booked a night in a hotel that we tought it was in front of Kili, that costed us almost triple price and it was not so beautiful and friendly-staff like Stella Maris.
For travelers that would like to visit Moshi or go to Kilimanjaro or just to look at it, this is it!
An finally: The orphanage, the Hotel manages an orphanage located beside, you can visit the kids and watch them playing, a percentage of the profits go directly to the management of this school.
Great staying at Stella Maris, definitely we will recommend it!
