A beautiful restful place - but noisy
This was my 3rd booking in Tanzania, and the cleanest and most friendly. Despite Mwanza being overly busy, and a major infrastructure site right behind the hotel (I understand it is NOT the hotel's fault), staff was above par in every way. Rooms were clean, comfortable, spacious and restful (once the work stopped each night).

Spacious Mwanza Stay
Comfortable, spacious room in a convenient area! The room I received had a huge living area with kitchenette and a large balcony overlooking the pool and lake. Really nice setup.

8/10 Very good

It was very friendly and the staff were very nice and accommodating. It was a very 'green' location and the swimming pool was magnificent. The rooms were spacious and clean. The breakfast was big (or small depending on your choice) and good but the dining options (and wining) were limited.

Overall Good Stay
Was attending a conference in the area. Convenient location. Transportation was waiting at the airport as scheduled and check in was quick and easy. The room had a comfortable bed and included a balcony with a very nice view of the pool, the bay, and the sunset. Enjoyed the pool. Only had breakfast one morning, but it was good. Had dinner in the restaurant 3 nights and it was great each time. Very good service in the restaurant and the food was delicious. Prices seemed very reasonable. Enjoyed the pool each day after work. Staff were friendly, helpful and professional. Transportation to and from the conference was easily arranged with a taxi driver and we were able to charge the costs to the room which made it a lot easier. Lovely landscaping, plants, and art work on the property. It is an older property and not a 5 star resort, but was a great value for the cost. Hot shower with good water pressure. Internet is slow, but that seems to be the case most places in the area from what I can tell. Internet is poor even at the high end places as well in this area. Was able to work from the room, but had to wait on things to load up, etc..Perhaps I am a bit spoiled and too accustomed to good fast wifi. There are local artists and vendors just outside the entrance and I was able to get some a few gifts for people back home by just walking out to the front. Is not a big place and definitely has a family friendly feel to it. I felt welcomed and comfortable there.

Ryan's Bay Rocks
The Lake Victoria view from the restaurant deck is so beautiful. The staff is super friendly and nice. I am amazed at how clean the staff keep it. My room was mopped fresh and clean each day. The breakfast was not to my liking. I am not a fan of certain foods which are more popular here. My major complaint was that my bed had an area that was uncomfortable but sleeping at an angle made up for it. Overall, a grand hotel.
