Mizingani Seafront Hotel

We stayed at Mizingani Hotel during our time in Stone Town and absolutely loved it. The hotel’s architecture, both inside and out, reflects traditional Omani-Arabic design, which we found incredibly beautiful and atmospheric. One of the highlights for me was the pool, spacious, refreshing, and perfect for both morning and evening swims. Clean beach towels were always readily available, which was a nice touch. The breakfast was hands down the best we had during our entire stay in Zanzibar. The buffet was generous, offering a wide variety of fresh fruits, pastries, and traditional dishes. Enjoying it on the terrace with a stunning view made it even more special. What truly stood out, though, was the staff. They were exceptionally friendly and attentive throughout our stay. On our last day in Zanzibar, even though we weren’t staying at the hotel, they kindly allowed us to store our luggage there, which we really appreciated. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Stone Town!

Rooms are spacious, well decorated and had a great shower. Service in the lobby was great, however the restaurant was poor, we sat down, had to get our own menus, had to go up to order, took almost an hour for a pizza despite the restaurant not being very busy. Then at the end it was difficult to sort and add up the total. Location is very good right near the sea. One concern is the proximity to the Mosque, it was so loud at 4am but this will be the same for all hotels nearby!

Overall really nice! We booked a sea view suite which was very big and clean. Bathroom was a bit dated though but still fine. Location is amazing, right in the center of town
