I stayed here while volunteering at Bugando Medical Center. The hotel is very conveniently located close to the hospital. The rooms are spacious and clean with nice cool a/c. The beds are hard. Every staff member we interacted with was kind and helpful. The food at the restaurant was very good - the breakfast was the same every day so got a little old but was tasty and filled us up for long workdays.

Very unfriendly. The waitress was the worst I ever experienced. The food is quite good but way too expensive for what it is. The chapati was almost 2 centimeters thick. A lot of charisma and expensive for what it all is. I was here part-time on business to see what Mwanza has to offer for international tourism, but if I go by this I can say that they are not ready for it yet. It's a shame how 1 unmotivated rude waitress ruins the atmosphere in this hotel.

Very beautiful & utilitarian room! The view of Lake Victoria from the spacious room is super. Nice furnishings. There was the much needed hot water for a refreshing shower. Very courteous staff in the hotel & at the restaurant too. Had a good night's sleep after a tiresome flight. The 4 - poster canopy bed was very cozy. At breakfast, the chef was kind enough to prepare hot aloo parathas & served them with curd & pickle - in line with my spouse's food requirements. It was unfortunate that we did not have much time to stay at this hotel for a longer time. Next time when you're in Mwanza, this is the hotel to stay.

We stayed at Ryan’s bay for 8 days. I can’t say enough good things about it-wonderful friendly staff, delicious food, spacious rooms and beautiful location. Will be staying there ever time I go to Mwanza!!

A beautiful restful place - but noisy This was my 3rd booking in Tanzania, and the cleanest and most friendly. Despite Mwanza being overly busy, and a major infrastructure site right behind the hotel (I understand it is NOT the hotel's fault), staff was above par in every way. Rooms were clean, comfortable, spacious and restful (once the work stopped each night).

Stay here! It’s fabulous. What an amazing hotel! Ryan's Bay Hotel is a gem, and I'm glad I chose to stay there. I always pick a hotel based on the reviews, and this time, I wasn't disappointed.

Clean. Quiet. The room is spacious and has everything you need. Beautiful garden around and nice view on the lake. The staff is attentive and polite. We liked the place and would like return to stay.

Ryan’s Bay was recommended by our safari guide. Traveling very far from the USA, I wanted to be sure that our accommodation was satisfactory. I was little skeptical because our first choice looked better online. When we arrived we knew that we had made an excellent choice. The front desk attendant was friendly and welcoming. The grounds are beautiful! We loved our spacious, authentically situated room. The beautiful view of Lake Victoria from both our room and the outdoor dining area was perfect. The food and service was amazing!
