Positive -architecture of the hotel is very unique Average breakfast. Negative- dirty room cocroches in the room very uncomfortable bed noisy location slow sevice at the restaurant uneatable foot served for a dinner dirty chairs and table at the restaurant some staff with attitudes Overall below average hotel, definitely not recommended. I am also not sure if I got the correct room. I booked the presidential suite. The room look different than the one from the expedia website picture and does not feel like a presidential at all- very basic . Good that we stayed only one night.

Good location but poor quality
The staff was nice but the place could use some work. No AC in room and while asked several times- they told me it was ok while it just circulated air. At one point I just decided to leave and only then was I told I could be given another room. By this time- bathroom was a sauna, very dusty and only air circulating was recycled. Would not recommend.

We have visited Zanzibar many times. This is the first time we stayed at this hotel and it will be the last. The staff are very friendly, but the service was very poor. I paid extra and reserved the presidential suite. After arriving to our room, I realized they had put us in a regular sea view room. When I asked about the suite, I was told it was undergoing some renovation. There was no offer to reimburse us for the incorrect room, nor any offer for any extra service. In fact, we even tried to get a later check out and we’re denied. Unfortunately they already had my money for suite thru Expedia…so beware when booking your room..!!

The building has an interesting history and is furnished and equipped in authentic detail. The location is easy walking distance from the Dar ferry; across the street is a fishermen's beach, which is also where many boat tours start. Food was good both in the main restaurant (overlooking the beach) and in the small coffee shop at street level.

Had a lovely stay at Mizingani Seafront. We had a lovely ocean view. Hotel is in a busy area so some outside noise, but comes with the walkability aspect. Service was good. Would recommend.

A charming old-fashioned hotel, that reminds you of the history of Zanzibar and Stonetown, its capital in particular. Lovely antiques, and gorgeous views of the waterfront and its activities from the breakfast room as well as from some of the rooms at the front. (We had one). Spectacular sunsets. Only fault of the hotel, is that the safety deposit box in the room didn't work. Also, it is a dry hotel, no alcohol, but there are charming bars everywhere, and there's Freddy's pub across the road. We will return for another stay.
