“I found this hotel to be a solid choice in Mwanza, particularly appreciated for its central location, making city exploration quite easy. The rooftop bar definitely stood out, offering what's likely the best view over Lake Victoria. While the rooms could use some updates, the friendly staff and varied breakfast options certainly made for a positive experience.”
