The hotel is absolutely incredible, especially if you arrives in Stonetown by ferry boat, because it is very close. But much more than that, the hotel is nestled in a wonderful former palace , from when you have a wonderful sea view. And the rooms??? What rooms !!!! Come to Mizingani, the most wonderful hotel in Stonetown!

The staff were friendly and helpful. They provided information about resources available. Loved the old town feel. It reminds me of a Moroccan riad. Breakfast is good. The location is great. It’s close to the ferry. It has a nice rooftop to watch the sunset. It’s close to the airport.
