Hotels near Ferry Dock - Zanzibar, Zanzibar City

What did I like? The exceptional helpfulness of the staff: Ali, Richard and everyone else who helped make my stay memorable and feel like I was at home. The coffee, food and breakfast choices were all excellent. Even if you don't stay here go in for a coffee, pastry or lunch. ZCH is often busy with tourists and even locals because the coffee is amongst the best and the pastries and wraps are delicious. The house dates back to the 19th century and was owned by Sir Tharia Thopan, a well known person on the island during that time. The architecture and ambiance of the house and how well it was restored only add to the over experience.

Excellent food with excellent stuff. The hotel gives you more than they promise. Friendly stuff always helping and guiding. The breakfast was best in my life. Greetings to the chef Lance Louise who is amazing person and talented. Also I would like to thank the owner and Amir who made our stay better than it was. The rooms are clean and well-designed. The hotel design is mesmerizing.

What an absolute gorgeous gem of a hotel in Stone Town. Truly authentic building and decor and incredible bedrooms. I stayed in the ‘Kate’ room which was utterly delightful. Beautiful private terrace overlooking the town, enormous bedroom (beautifully decorated) and an open-air bathtub adjoining. Super private. Gorgeous to wake up in the morning and open the doors and feel the breeze filter through. Beautiful bed linen and towels (woven locally) and handmade soaps. If you are into aesthetics, then this is the place for you. I can’t say enough to rate the hotel. All the staff were absolutely delightful and super attentive (as a single female traveller it was very much appreciated). The Manager was extremely kind and friendly. Also organised a fantastic private tour of the town for me which was brilliant. The rooftop restaurant is to die for. The best, authentic and freshest of food I have ever eaten.The taster plate experience with sunset and cocktails was dreamy. Amazing views and ambiance. Didn’t want it to end! The Secret Garden restaurant is also absolutely worth a visit. I attended on a Friday evening when there was live music being performed. Truly magical. Again, the food was just amazing and the staff all super kind.

Excellent experience — Amine and Anwar hosted us best. Hospitality at its best

Mizingani Seafront is pure magic! The authentic Swahili vibe, the stunning views of the beach, ships docking, and boats—it’s beyond words. And the location? Perfect! Everything in Stone Town is just a stroll away. (Whatever you do, do not miss going to the fish market at night) But the best part? I casually mentioned it was my birthday, and they surprised me with a cake and the sweetest staff singing “Happy Birthday” as soon as I walked into my room. (All this was on the house) It was such a beautiful moment! So much love from strangers - I teared up. Really touched my heart. Thank you for making my stay unforgettable, Mizingani Seafront! ❤️

We liked everything. Nice decorated room, wonderfull breakfast, coffee, tea and water available. Staff was very kind.
