The Mizangani Seafront Hotel was an amazing, atmospheric bit of old Zanzibar looking out on the Stone Town harbor, and across from the Dar es Salaam ferry landing. They served a wonderful breakfast on the veranda. The reception and breakfast staff were very helpful and gave us a warm welcome. Our room was spacious and filled with beautiful Zanzibari details.

The hotel could use some updating, as the rooms feel quite old-fashioned. While some staff were friendly, service was inconsistent — I had to ask multiple times for drinks.

"I’d like to raise a complaint about the way I was treated at reception. I went to ask what time our confirmed airport transfer would leave tomorrow, as no timing had been provided. The female receptionist laughed at me before saying, “Sorry, what’s your flight time?” I found her reaction very rude ..."
