Mzingani Hotel Zanzibar/Mizingani Hotel Zanzibar
I’ve often noticed Mzingani 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 Emerson on Hurumzi Hotel Stone Town & Other Great Places to Stay in Stone Town Zanzibar 2025 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.
If you will be travelling to Nairobi soon and would like to find out more about Capital Heights Hotel, go here, but also check out the video below.
