Top Chukwani Hotel Reviews

Mizingani Seafront Hotel

Mizingani Seafront Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Loved this property and the staff. We had a situation with our rental car and they had a staff member walk to where we had parked the car and he actually drove our rental car back to the hotel and then called the guy we rented the car from and asked him to come by the hotel to pick up the car. I think that was above and beyond and we truly appreciated the extra time and help."
