"Construction noise marred our stay. Electric jack hammering sounds on a Sunday from 7am, until after 7Pm.

"Mizingani Seafront Hotel is an atmospheric, character-filled heritage hotel in a wonderful Stone Town location. It is not a modern, polished resort-style property, and that is really part of its appeal. The charm is in the old-world Zanzibar feel: the carved timber, arched balconies, tiled details, ..."
