6/10 Good

I liked how clean the hotel was - however the rooms were musty but clean just smelled like not open for awhile — however not a lot of food choices— no early dinner seevices
Sandra, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good stay at this hotel. The area is nice right on the water and the ambiance and rooms are nice. A few minor issues include the poor quality for breakfast and some minor housekeeping issues. My bathroom hose had a leak and flooded the entire bathroom. Overall it was an ok stay.
Colm, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Staff was nice and it was easy walk around and see Stone town.
david, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

This hotel is in an excellent location right across the street from the ocean and boardwalk. The room was very large (I upgraded) and the breakfast buffet was excellent. The only shortcomings were that the internet keep dropping in the room and the lighting in the room was very poor. That being said, I would start there again.
Gary, 1-night trip

Amazing property, extra friendly & attentive staff! I will definitely be back!
shirene, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We liked the place. Room was great etc. The elevator is funky, requiring patrons to fully close cage door when exiting. If not done properly, others can't use. Otherwise, the place was great.
Charles, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

I loved the property. The staff was extremely helpful, efficient and friendly. The hotel was quaint and really quite nice, a typical boutique hotel. The room was clean, and the housekeeping staff made sure we had everything we needed.

Good service and beautiful hotel

We had a great stay at Mizingani. Only two nights, but we already want to come back. The staff was very hospitable, polite and service minded. Excellent breakfast. We loved our room. Great location.
Ingrid Johanne Müller, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Wilfrid, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
