Mizingani Seafront Hotel

Upeasti vanhaa kunnioittaen hotelliksi muutettu vanha (ilmeisesti jonkun varakkaan kauppiassuvun) talo aivan sataman vieressä. Jos tulet Dar es Salaamista Kilimanjaro lautalla, tämä on vain sadan metrin päässä terminaalista. Hotellissa avulias ja ystävällinen henkilökunta, hyvä aamiainen ja kaikki turistipyydykset kivenheiton päässä, samalla kun huoneet ja allasalue ovat erittäin rauhallisia.

Hotellin WiFiin ei pystynyt kirjautumaan kaikilla puhelimilla (vaikka kaikki olivat uudehkoja Androideja). Ongelma ei ilmeisesti ollut aivan uusi, sillä respan nuoret miehet osasivat neuvoa kiertämään ongelman jakamalla WiFi puhelimesta toiseen bluetoothilla. Ongelma pitäisi kuitenkin korjata eikä kiertää.

Hienosti vanhasta arabialaistyylisesta rakennuksesta tehty hotelli, yksityiskohdat vanhaa kunnioittaen. Pittoreski tunnelma, suosittelen. Sijainti melkein satamassa, ei tarvitse taksia jos tulee lautalla Darista.

WiFin kirjautuminen ei onnistunut kaikilla puhelimilla. Ongelma ei ollut ilmeisesti uniikki, koska respan nuoret miehet tiesivat heti neuvoa tavan kiertaa se jakamalla yhteys bluetoothin yli toisesta laitteesta jolla kirjautuminen onnistui. Muuten kaikki toimi kuten pitaakin.

Absolutely beautiful hotel with Zanzibari feel. Staff was super friendly and helpful, but not overbearing. Breakfast is great, large assortment, and on the patio with a fantastic view of the sea and beautiful stained glass. Would def stay here again, great value for money! Huge rooms. Everything was so beautiful. Would for sure stay here again.

No complaints

We only stayed one night, but we had a great experience. The breakfast was exceptional in the morning as there was just so much to choose from! The hotel itself is gorgeous, the pool is in a lovely courtyard and the design of the hotel in a kind of Arab-esque way was beautiful. What stood out most was the service. Although check out was at 11AM, they allowed us to use the facilities throughout the day as our pickup wasn’t until 7PM. As a result, we were able to put our luggage in their luggage room (very safe - all still intact with valuables), go out on a tour arranged by the hotel, have money exchanged, and hang out by the pool after a long day of activities until our cab arrived. Bed was also comfortable, and equipped with mosquito nets which a staff member came in to spray with insect repellent in the evening.

The room was quite small, and bit dingy. However, being in the amazing Stonetown and having the lovely pool and balcony meant we were really only in there to sleep. Also, we had paid online but when we checked out the receptionist didn’t have any confirmation attached to our invoice. We were able to pull up the payment confirmation on our phone but could have been tricky if that weren’t possible.
