Lovely hotel next to the lake

Nice hotel and really nice staff. The location is close to the centre but still at a quiet area next to the lake. We had some issues with the air-con in our room but the staff was helpful and relocated us to the neighbouring room.
I will probably chose Hotel Tilapia again next time I visit Mwanza.

Best hotel in Mwanza, Tanzania

We tried Tepanayaki which is a live food station they are running for more than 20 years. The food was nice & tasty and 100 marks to the lady chef who prepares it for several years. The ambience and location are top notch and its a good place to enjoy with family, friends and conduct business dinners.. Totally loved it

Scenic view, nice rooms.

Scenic view of the lake, dinner was delicious, kudos to the chef, rooms are okay. Customer service worst,we arrived at around 7pm got no help the staff were just staring at us. The receptionist a lady was cold. We got in our room, there were no flip flops we called to ask if we could be assisted, we were rudely told hospitality department had gone home since it was at night. Cummon, no one could even check another room and just give us flip flops to use in the bathroom?? You need to train your staff on good customer care. The hotel is beautiful, the location is accessible but the customer service needs to be improved.

Don’t go for the coffee.

Lovely spot. Unbelievably bad coffee.
This place has a great restaurant and bar overlooking the lake. I popped in in the morning for a quick coffee before the drive to Geita.
I don’t think I have ever had such a bad coffee! Stick to the beer, which is usually nice and cold!

BEST HOTEL SINCE 90s

I occasionally dine here during my travels to the City of Rocks. The pool, Indian décor, staff, and ambiance are delightful. The taste, true to its name, reflects the Tilapia fish. Rooms #18 and 15 stand out as some of the best.

Excellent location
