Mizingani Seafront Hotel Zanzibar/Mizingani Hotel Zanzibar
I’ve often noticed Mizingani Seafront Hotel, as I walk along Stone Town’s waterfront, usually when I am arriving or leaving Zanzibar since the hotel is very close to the Zanzibar ferry terminal.
Every time that I do, I make a mental note to be sure to stay there sometime.
Why? Because of the beautiful stained glass windows and wood lattice balconies that adorn the façade of the hotel.
About a year ago, I wrote a post entitled Where Is the Best Place to Stay In Zanzibar (For Every Budget)? in response to a question I get asked often: “Biche, I am travelling to Zanzibar soon and am wondering where to stay. Do you have any recommendations?”.
My next question to whomever is asking is invariably: “How much do you have in mind to spend on accommodation per night?”.
Since I didn’t want to answer the same question over and over again, I wrote that post.
In it, I list 36 options that charge anywhere from US$18 a night to US$ 480 a night.
Mizingani Seafront Hotel, features on that list as a moderately priced hotel.
Here’s what one of my readers had to stay after staying there:
“Thank you, Biche…My husband and I decided to stay at Mizingani Seafront Hotel and we greatly enjoyed the views from the dining room terrace. The breakfast buffet was fantastic! The room was spacious and comfortable, and the service was very personable.
The hotel was also very well placed relative to the ferry, Stone Town, and Forodhani Gardens, all of which were in walking distance of about 5 to 15 minutes.
Once more, thanks for the recommendation!”

Capital Heights Hotel Nairobi
About a year ago, I published a post entitled Kiloran House Nairobi & 4 Other Places to Stay in Nairobi for $50 or Less.
Capital Heights Hotel is one of the places I recommend in that post.
Located near Kenyatta National Hospital, Capital Heights Hotel is the only hotel listed in that post, the other 4 recommendations being homestays or residential properties that have been converted into guesthouses.
Staying at homestays or in converted residential properties is an easy way to bring down the cost of accommodation whenever you travel.
Sometimes, though, you just want—or need—the independence and services that come with an actual hotel.
Capital Heights Hotel is not only one of Booking.com’s bestsellers for Nairobi, it also has a notably high number of repeat bookings for the city on the site.
In other words, guests of the hotel usually stay there again!
Guests of Capital Heights Hotel laud the establishment for its convenient, safe location, its cleanliness, friendly staff, and on-site bar and restaurant.

3S Gardens Ruiru Menu
I am trying to get my hands on a copy of the menu at 3S Gardens in Ruiru. As soon as I do, I will share a copy of it here. Check back for it soon!
Happy new year, dear reader! I hope you had an excellent holiday season and that the year is off to a wonderful start for you!
Every so often, I publish a post sharing popular things that my readers buy online and places they book to stay through my site for when they travel.
Since I haven’t done that in over a year, that’s what today’s post will be about.
Why do I do this? Because I’ve noticed that many of you, my readers, are very much like me and each other, so I figure that what others in my reader community do might be a good guide to pointing you to things that you might find interesting too.
Let’s jump right in. Shall we?

When my readers travel to Tokyo, Japan, they stay at…
Act Hotel Roppongi (City Centre Hotels, Tokyo)
Yes, my readers are world travelers, not just travelers in and around East Africa.
When my readers go to Tokyo, they stay at the Act Hotel Roppongi.
Act Hotel Roppongi is a relatively new Tokyo hotel located in one of the city’s most expensive areas. Its guests laud it above all for its excellent location.
Act Hotel Roppongi is not only located near two main metro lines, giving it easy access to central Tokyo, but is also situated in an area with lots of good restaurants and stores.
Other reasons the guests of the Act Hotel Roppongi love it include the friendly staff, the rain shower in the bathrooms, and the unlimited complimentary soft serve ice cream in the hotel’s lobby (nice touch!).

3. HP Notebook 15-bs095nia
The HP Notebook 15-bs095nia is a lightweight laptop that packs a punch.
It has an HP Intel Core i3 processor, 4 GB RAM, 500 GB hard disk, and 15.6” screen…pretty standard specifications.
What’s not standard, though, is how little this laptop weighs.
At 2.5 kilograms, the HP Notebook 15-bs095nia is one of the lightest full-sized laptops out there.
With a battery that supports more than 9 hours of continual use, the HP Notebook 15-bs095nia is particularly good for long journeys where you might not have access to electricity or for areas that have frequent power outages (might that be useful to any of you, my African readers? 🙄 ).
Find out more about the HP Notebook 15-bs095nia here on Jumia Kenya or browse similar HP 15 Notebooks here on Amazon.
