Thank you so much, Royal Apartments, for your incredible hospitality and for taking such great care of us! I want to especially thank the owner, Mr. Thabit, for his kindness and warm personality in welcoming us and ensuring all our needs were met. The luxurious rooms were amazing, and the sauna was a highlight for my family—it truly made our stay unforgettable. A big thank you to Chef Ochu for the delicious meals and the entire team at the restaurant. The wooden finishing in the restaurant added such a warm and unique atmosphere, making every meal even more special. The experience with the horses was another memorable part of our trip—riding on the beach was just awesome. Besides the place being spotless, the horses were well-maintained, and the trainers were charming and polite as well. Thank you, Royal Apartments team, for such a memorable stay! We hope to visit you again on our future holidays.

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! ❤️

Staying in Freddie Mercury’s childhood home was special. It is a really beautiful apartment and on top of that you get use of the facilities at the hotel. I only had one night but it will definitely stay in the memory bank!!!
