This compact, but adequate, room has the best lighting of any hotel I've had the pleasure of staying in. The room has good, quiet air-conditioning, and ours, being a corner room, had windows on two sides with a door that opened onto a small balcony. There were tea and coffee making facilities, and two complimentary bottles of water each day. Toiletries were also replenished daily. The bed was good, very comfortable, not too firm, and the large pillows were nice and soft. Again, the bathroom was small but adequate, with a shower. However, there was no shower curtain, so the bathroom floor gets a good soaking, which is a personal dislike. The shower had hot water, but I found the mixer tap difficult to control to get an even temperature; thankfully, in the end, I managed to master the controls. The rooftop bar is great playing my type of music loud but not unbearably so. There's a great Karaoke night on Saturday., run by a man who is a very good singer. The bar food is good as is the service. The majority of the staff are very friendly and helpful. Every afternoon when we returned the reception staff gave us a small glass of chilled roselle juice, which was very refreshing after a tiring day. We did enjoy our stay here and extended it from two to five nights.

Gold Crest hotel is an excellent establishment in Mwanza. It is located right in the heart of Mwanza which is very convenient for tourists from other countries as there is excellent access to a number of different banks to obtain cash for the days activities. In our case we arrived with a low cash reserve and needed to withdraw cash daily from Travel cards. This was a concern at first but as there are numerous large banks very near to the Gold Crest we were able to find one that could accept our Australian travel cards and make the necessary withdrawals. The Mwanza town centre is quite safe for tourists and we experienced no problems in walking in the town area both for shopping at stores and local markets and to do our banking. The people of Mwanza are friendly and trustworthy and everywhere we went we received a warm welcome and excellent service. Staff at the Gold Crest are very helpful and friendly - with a strong desire to provide great service. The breakfast provided with our room was very good - with wide range of items and the location is tops, as you can sit on the balcony overlooking the street to eat, or indoors at very comfortable places with table service - which ever you prefer. The Gold Crest restaurant has food options to a very high standard - we felt that the meals we ate were the equal of any we had on our extended tour of Europe and Africa. Really high standard for presentation and quality (delicious) and large very adequate portion sizes. We found that one meal between two was often sufficient and the pricing was very good making the meals in the hotel a very nice high standard value for money experience in a very comfortable atmosphere. Room Service was good and the rooms are cleaned everyday and the hotel also has an excellent value laundry service which we used several times - very convenient. When it came time to pay we were able to pay with credit card which is not always a certainty in Africa. Many thanks to the Gold Crest hotel.

The rooms were comfortable with high quality amenities. The price is a steal, I wish I could stay longer but my travel to Mwanza was short. The staff is courteous and was able to help me meander around Mwanza, since it was only my second time there. I will definitely be making this my go to property in Mwanza. Thank you team for the amazing experience ☺️

    Nice port town on Lake Victoria, with amazing rock formations throughout the area. The climate is very nice compared to hot, humid cities on the Indian Ocean. Entering the Serengeti from the Mwanza side means much fewer jeeps and tourists, and more animals!

    I liked Mwanza for the location and the ease of getting around. Once you learn the color coding of the buses (beat up minivans) you can get around easily and inexpensively. Though expect to be crowded. Also, there are always Pikipikis (Motorcyles) and Bajajis (3 Wheeled Vehicles) available. Plus regular taxis. It is easy to connect and make friends with the local community. It is generally safe as other cities.

    Mwanza is a very busy and safe city with loads of markets and close proximity to the Serengeti - tours are available for the day or two days taking in Ngorongoro Crater. Our 1 days safari was great with an early start and we saw all the animals we expected to see (plus more) at close quarters - with a well trained guide and very modern well equipped special purpose 4WD (Forte Tours). Check the pricing though as you will need to pay quite a bit if a foreign tourist (fair enough as this maintains the park). There is no issue with crime and we felt safe at all times during the day in Mwanza. But we did not go out at night. Truly a great place to visit to experience genuine African life and tourist sights. The Air Tanzania flight from Dar es Salaam is very good with modern aircraft and very professional staff - if the weather is clear you will see Kilamanjaro (at a distance) on the way in daylight hours.

    The whole vibe. Friendly locals.

    The whole vibe. Friendly locals. On lake Victoria but as it's the city of rocks there's great views too. Shopping tours and sightseeing is easily accessible. Only downside is taxi drivers overcharge if you are a tourist. Check price before going
