Great location. And it’s a lovely rustic setup. But on arrival they tried to send us off to their ‘sister’ hotel. Saying they were full. Lower quality but expected same price. I demanded to stay. And room was found. Magic. Others beware. And stick to your guns and stay where you paid for.

I rarely give out 5 stars, in part because I don't stay in 5 star hotels that deliver that level of satisfaction but the Mizingani deserves 5. I cannot imagine a better value in Stonetown, and I shopped noth before and while I was at the Mizingani.

Loved my room (#201, right next to the pool). The people there are fantastic.

The hotel itself is old world arab style. Very classy and charming and is very well maintained. It is easy walking distance to inside the old city and to the ferry to Dar. The open air food market , every night, is 75 meters away.

The breakfast was excellent.

If I go back to Zanzibar I am staying here. If anybody asks for a recommendation I am telling them about the Mizingani.

Not a big hotel but everything is on point - rooms, bathroom, customer service & very lovely view of the sea from the restaurant. It's got a swimming and a pool table. I didn't regret staying here at all during my holiday. It's quite central as well: 3mins walk to Forodhani food market, shops are close by if you want to get souvenirs, you can catch a dhow to Prison Island just opposite the hotel and also Azam marine ferries to Dar es Salaam are 4mins walk away. 👍🏿

Recently stayed for two nights. The room was clean and the bathroom super-spacious. Lovely to have a small deck overlooking the (clean and well-maintained) pool. Great breakfast (loved the avocado) with an ocean-front view/patio. It was highly entertaining watching the ferry unload while enjoying a cup of coffee!
Staff were super friendly and helpful. Quick check-in/out.
It was our first trip to the island and wouldn't hesitate to return/recommend this property.
