Offering a bar, the property is located within 21 km of Hamamni Persian Baths. All rooms include a balcony with sea views and free WiFi.

The staff are so kind and super friendly. The food was one of the best highlight of our trip here in Zanzibar. The view was super fantastic. Leah and other receptionist were super helpful to us in many ways. They helped me with payment methods even outside of the resort. It was the best experience that i wish to live for again. Highly recommend staying here during trip to Zanzibar.

    The resort was very clean, housekeeping did a very good job. Food wasn’t bad and the staff was very friendly, helpful and always smiling. Thank you Saimon, Hussan and Joyna, seeing your smiling and welcoming faces is golden. Stay blessed

    While we’re not talking high end accommodations here, what I am saying is that I received great value for the price. Mohammed and staff went above and beyond in anticipating and meeting our needs. If you’re going to Zanzibar for an all-inclusive beach stay, this is the wrong venue. If you want a perfect location to experience the life and culture of Stone Town, then this is the absolutely best place for you. A truly unique adventure.

    Mizingani is situated so perfectly if staying in Stone Town, we walked 150m to meet our stone town tour guide at the Old Fort. The night market is 100m away and worth seeing. Perfect for a short stay in stone town before heading to the beach resorts.

    We booked for a short stay in stone town having been at a beach resort for the majority of our holiday in Zanzibar. Location was ok but down an alleyway which I wouldn't want to walk down at night.

    The view from this hotel is excellent. The bed was comfortable. One could walk down to the beach easily. If you are on a very tight budget, this is an ideal place to stay, do not expect the usual luxuries associated with beach resorts. If you like a rustic feel of an old inn, with weathered walkways, steps and exteriors of the buildings, then you will be at home.

    We spent 2 nights in this place. our goal was to play golf in there. what can I say - it’s a big resort hotel, there are a lot of activities you can do. they have tennis, golf, billiard and mini-golf there are several swimming pools a lot of plans, ocean view is really nice about the room - it’s a big old-fashioned and maybe need to fresh a bit, but clean and comfortable to problem with water pressure (what is normal in Africa) we had all-inclusive, they have enough variety of food you can choose

    Close to Zanzibar airport. Just 15-20 minutes to walk. Check-in from 12.00 - very convenient, if you are traveling from beach resort. Caffe-bar close to reception, opened all 24 hours. Fridge and TV set in the room - not common for the hotels in Zanzibar.

    The staff were very helpful and friendly. The bar and restaurant are amazing and the pool is wonderful. It's also on a beautiful quiet beach. The rooms are comfortable and the staff put in a lot of effort to make your stay memorable. The gardens are also stunning. I would recommend it to anyone who prefers a quiet beach resort. I would definitely go back.
