    lacking freshness
    boring fare

    my stay was quite unpleasant, actually. The breakfast was lacking freshness, and it was the same boring fare each day. I expected a complimentary treat for my inconvenience, but apparently that's too much to ask. The curtains barely covered the windows, allowing too much light in. I almost gave a good review, but just couldn’t.

    lake views
    quirky charm
    housekeeping issues

    Beautiful lake views from various seating areas and a relaxing pool make for a great escape. Unique round cabin accommodations add a quirky charm.

    Some rooms, especially on the first floor, lack privacy due to thin curtains and old doors. A few housekeeping issues arose, such as someone arriving to clean late in the afternoon, which disrupted our plans.

    stunning views
    helpful staff
    spacious room
    repetitive breakfast

    Staying at the Hotel Tilapia was quite enjoyable. The views of Lake Victoria from my room were absolutely stunning, especially during sunset. I appreciated the spaciousness of my Standard Single Room. it was clean and comfortable. The staff were incredibly helpful. they even arranged a delicious breakfast according to my request. The location made it easy to walk into town for local markets and shops. However, the breakfast buffet could use a bit of variety to keep things interesting. It felt repetitive after a few days, with the same selection served each morning. The ambiance by the lake during meals was beautiful, but some room curtains could provide better privacy. I truly enjoyed the unique vibe of the hotel, but a more diverse breakfast menu would enhance the experience further.

    waterfront dining
    limited breakfast variety

    The experience of dining by the waterfront was truly memorable, with the Hibachi-a-la-africa meal being an absolute highlight.

    The breakfast offered lacked variety, and some items did not seem freshly prepared, which could be improved.

    lake view
    fresh salads
    attentive staff
    lack of family amenities

    The beautiful setting by Lake Victoria was such a treat for our family, especially during our evening meals. The staff was attentive and the kids enjoyed the fresh salads. A visit to the local CCM Kirumba Stadium, just a short drive away, was a highlight.

    In my wife’s opinion, the room could use a few more family-friendly amenities.

    fresh salads
    lovely views

    It was a well-suited match for a short stint in Mwanza with real value for money. I loved indulging in the fresh salads during every meal, knowing they were prepared with care. Make sure to enjoy the lovely views by the water during meals.

    fabulous food
    teppanyaki grill
    lack of concierge service

    I had an amazing 11 nights here, enjoying the fabulous meals and the serene views. The cooking at the teppanyaki grill was a highlight, but the lack of concierge service was disappointing. Would definitely stay again!

    stunning views
    fantastic breakfast
    attentive staff
    chilly nights

    Had a great time with friends! The views of the lake were stunning, especially at sunrise. The restaurant offered a fantastic breakfast buffet with a beautiful backdrop. We also enjoyed visiting CCM Kirumba Stadium nearby. The staff were attentive and made our stay memorable. Highly recommend for a relaxing getaway.

    The only downside was it got a bit chilly at night, so I'd suggest bringing a jacket.
