Hotels on first line in Zanzibar City

Indeed it is more expensive, but the private pool and access to the ocean was unbeatable (we stayed in both garden and ocean access villas)

It was a beautiful experience. Moreover the staffs were totally friendly ، honest and they enjoyed professional behavior . definitely that I would repeat the trip to the resort if I traveled again to Zanzibar.

Without any hesitation, Zanzi was not only ‘one of the best’ we have stayed at across our extensive travels; it was ‘THE BEST’

Beautiful petite resort - just 13 villas. Great staff. Lovely food. Fabulous retreat 45 minutes north of Stone Town

Fabulous villa with private pool and access to ocean. Great food. Lovely staff. Beautiful gardens. Basically luxury without the 4 seasons faff.

During our 3 nights stay we had a feeling that we ended up in a heaven for vegetarians and not in a coastal 5* resort. Extensive dinner cards lacked seafood and even just basic protein options were missing every night

We are big fans of the Hyatt brand, especially Park Hyatt and Alila, and this hotel did not disappoint, in fact our expectations, although high, were met or exceeded in most every way

The other is the main hotel and dining/bar area opened in 2015. Fauzi then accompanied us to our suite and provided some of his restaurant and activity recommendations for our stay

We were then given a quick tour of the hotel property, by Concierge Fauzi, which is in two buildings. One is the historic residence of one of the Omani sultans

Our first impressions of the suite were very good. We have stayed in a number of Park Hyatt's and this property compared well with others around the world

We arrived at 7 pm and were quickly checked in. We were offered Suite 3211 as Hyatt Globalist using a suite upgrade certificate

We are just finishing a fantastic 5 night stay at the Park Hyatt Zanzibar

The hotel has a pool and it’s on the seaside, though in the morning there was low tide and all we saw - was just sand covered with seaweed. Anyway, we didn’t have a plan to swim, so it didn’t bother us too much

Beautiful Beach and💋Fauna! Quiet, clean and nicely arranged Garden!

Luxurious hotel. The food is good. The beach is not very good.

The fish restaurant is amazing. But this is a public beach, locals also come to swim on it. A lot of protection from the hotel, so everything is dignified and noble

We loved the atmosphere and location Very helpful personnel Special thanks to Said, Guest Relation Manager and we loved the barman of the pool bar Mohamed Ali, always smiling and really running to offer his service Generally we enjoyed our stay

A nice atmosphere, hotel around by the beautiful trees, huge rooms. Amazing staff, especially at reception and pool bar (Mohamed and Christopher 👍)!

The guy who took our duffel bags with a big smile up and down the stairs really knows what customer service is. We had 3 rooms with beach view. Rooms were clean and spacious

Its character is absolutely charming. The room I had was spacious and clean, overlooking a clean white sand beach. Staff were always polite and engaging

Very nice staff. Great food and rooms were nice. I liked the hotel was right off the beach.

excellent choices beautiful beach very good service LOVED the view from my room. Chriss at the front desk was helpful in finding me Dr Juma to attend to my toe injury. Thank you, Chriss.

He gave us lots of tips for Stone Town and also of a cultural nature. The breakfast is great, the selection at the buffet is local and international, as is the dinner

The ambience is reminiscent of fairy tales from 1000 and one night, magical. The staff was super friendly, especially Chriss was very nice and courteous

The room had a balcony and a view of the embankment. The hotel and rooms are made in the old colonial style. The room is clean, in the evening, if desired, they treated for mosquitoes. Excellent pool in the courtyard

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Mizingani, and I must say, it was an incredible experience. The first thing that struck me was its fantastic location

Every day the room was cleaned, and in the evening they came in to close the window shutters and straighten the canopy. In the neighboring building, it seems, they set up a rehearsal point, so the room was not quiet

Situated in the heart of Stone Town, it offered easy access to all the historical and cultural treasures this enchanting place has to offer. Upon entering Mizingani, I was captivated by its beautiful furnishings

One of the highlights of my stay was waking up to stunning views of the Indian Ocean from my room. The gentle sea breeze and the sound of waves crashing against the shore provided a soothing and serene ambiance

The attention to detail was evident, and it truly felt like a step back in time to the early days of the Zanzibari monarchy. One aspect that stood out during my stay was how well maintained the property was

If you do not need laundry facilities or if you don't mind to pay extra, go for the hotel itself. Great location on the seaside. Breakfast almost on the beach and a good size swimming pool

Very good position, staff very gentle, breakfast wonderful looking the sea

The hotel is in a very good location and decorated beautifully. It is close to all attractions. Staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was great with variety of food

(Top part the balcony I couldn't enjoy it because of the rain but I think it would be great on a sunny day

The guy at the reception was such a nice person!! Everybody was very polite and helpful!! Thanks for the good stay!!

However it could have more European options as it attracts a lot of tourists

Really good value for money. The hotel is not five star, but it is in a great location and the service is great. Hotel is located one block from Park Hyatt, and within close distance to beach front restaurants.

High quality of service and accommodation. Building up-kept and maintained very well. Manager was a man of high class and character, he was extremely accommodating. Room was cozy and very clean — AC worked perfectly

A truly lovely place with great location! The manager Hassan was extremely helpful, always smiling, ready for an advice, feedback and joke

Beautiful hotel, Good services with delicious breakfast. Clean room with good fresh air. The most comfortable and cheapest hotel in Stone Town near Hyatt, Serena and Forodhani. Please visit you won’t regret

Fabulous hotel tucked away in one of Stonetown's narrow streets. This old hotel is well preserved and has a pleasant roof space where breakfast is served. The owners and staff and exceptionally helpful

Saumu handled my tours/excursions and she was also great! My room was spacious and very clean. For breakfast they offer an entire menu. Loved every second of it, definitely recommend it!

Great hotel when visiting Stone Town. Great location for walking down the harbour/ beach. Rooms are a bit dated and dark but welcoming after a hot day in the sun. Nice pool area again small but all you need

Private pool with loungers that you can be served both food and drinks at, perfect place to relax amongst a lovely manicured garden. Dinner and drinks on the rooftop terrace to see the sun set over the harbour water

Food was excellent with great seafood and continental dishes. Drinks were reasonable and solidly strong with lots of cocktails. My wife has stayed here before and we would both stay here again! Thank you Seyyida!

Wonderful place in Stonetown, not soo noisy, super friendly staff, amazing view on rooftop, great beds and modern bathrooms. It's a fairly new hotel with a small pool which is quite private. I will be back!!

Close to the beach/night Market

Super location, beautiful old building with great views from the rooftop restaurant. comfy big rooms, nice pool, and superfriendly en helpful staff. Would defenitely come back if I have the chance

Real Indiana Jones style Hotel in the heart of Stone Town

Good place for a few days stay. Hotel rooms need a little more focus on cleaning.

Safe hotel in down town area

Very nice place. The rooms are great. The staff is very friendly and helpful.

Well located hotel. The swimming pool is in another building at around 150m. Breakfast should improved a little bit with various foods.

Nice local style and friendly staff Beware the pool is in another building and 150 m

Good seafood and wine list w/ AC

First of all I would like to thank Hamim and Khadija for the amazing treatment… To be honest all the staff were so nice and friendly even the lady who served the breakfast she was amazing and very nice The hotel very clean and the location is amazing and close to everything we need …

The breakfast so delicious and has many options … the room very comfy and has tea and water and coffee all the time … bathroom very nice style and very big and clean has too many types of shampoos and towels …

This hotel has features of 5 stars hotel

Views from the large pools onto the sea and beyond were great. Live music was not intrusive and the bands were great

Such a beautiful place, with gorgeous buildings and decor, two stunning infinity swimming pools, beach access and a great ocean view

Beautiful pool area, nice pier with the opportunity to sit ouside or step into the Ocean Large variety of sporting activities Great Breakfast and Diner Decent Garden, very clean and well maintained

Surrounded by breathtaking views. We were full board and there was not 1 meal we could say anything negative about. We are already booking a family vacation to the hotel for 2024. I would highly recommend this hotel

We stayed at the hotel for a work conference. The room was clean, neat, and very well maintained during my stay. The staff went above and beyond to be friendly and helpful. The property is simply amazing

The rooms are comfortable with all the amenities we needed and we loved our garden (try and spot the bush babies jumping from tree to tree at night)

The only thing that misses this place is a beach, a beach where you can really swim

I stayed at the villa room apartment and it was so nice with sea front balcon. The services is so good too, I would like to recommend enyone else to go there.

Some of the best seafood on Zanzibar.

I am really glad that I chose this hotel for stay for 3 day from 18/06 until 21/06 but really the room and the staff and the view very amazing I love the staff because it’s very friendly with us every day have music at dinner it was very amazing to explore the culture music of zanjabar if I visit again I will choose this hotel One thing I love about them is my last day there was a payment left for...

First time and day in Zanzibar? And guess what ? Its the most beautiful lodge that i ever seen , we booked twoo bedroom villa , and we are shocked wow wow everything is speechless, please dont miss the chance to stay here , 5 stars for the stufffff specially happiness ! Thank you

But do come to this place if you’re looking for a truly authentic African experience and immerse in the local culture of Zanzibar, enjoying peace during your holidays with a book, chilling in the Zanzibar authentic vibe

The place is really nice, but noisy and at some point especially from 3pm as there several sports activities around the beach area. The beach is really dirty and not taken care of.

I stayed at this resort for weeks and it was worth my money spent. Amazing service by the staff. Delicious food! Not forgetting the fresh different types of juice served in the morning . I will definitely go back there.

The hotel is nice, the rooms are very big and spacious, clean and the service is amazing. The staff were so nice and helpful always. I highly recomend this place.

Its a very nice place to go, it is good looking with very cool environment.

I like it it's so wonderfully hotel i never seen b4

Great view of the ocean, not ideal to go and tan on the beach, but next to the pool and bar is great

The reason it's a 4 and not a five is because of the same breakfast menu everyday and the beach which is not great to swim in because of the mud like sand in the water. Lunch and Dinner on the other hand are great

The staff was very accommodating, the resort is absolutely stunning, and there is lots to do on the property. The receptionist Carol is fantastic and I will definitely be coming back here

They made it first time in Zanzibar very memorable

Upon bringing this to the Resort Managers attention, her reply was simply," we did not put in a fridge because we wanted to save energy. And she will inform house keeping to replace our room towels

Great resort but giving it a 3 as they were busy with construction when we were there which is not ideal. Rooms never had any coffee only tea

the only other slight issue was that there was no alcohol served at this hotel. It wasn't really a big deal as there is a bar right next door but being able to have a glass of wine with dinner would have made it better

Probably the best hotel in Zanzibar

The staff and location are great. The room has a nice but historic decor. However, the building is very old and smells musty. Had to buy incense for the room to smell better.

It was a really lovely place and the staff were very helpful and friendly but there was no lift and we were on the top floor. And also the food in the restaurant for lunch and dinner was average at best

Pros Great location Lovey view of the beach Allowed late checkout (but the checkout time is a little early at 10am!) Large selection at breakfast Beautiful infinity pool and a lot of different seating areas Cleaning staff were nice Cons Staff were slow

Room small and dark and right by the pool but luckily it was low season so it wasn’t too noisy Check in was quick but a bit all over the place Bathroom could have been cleaner Verdict I probably would not stay again

Beautiful rooms, friendly service, good breakfast, great location, complete with a rooftop view of Stone Town and a swimming pool

A chic hotel in an old style, there is a swimming pool, a huge plus. After the stuffy city, go straight to it

The Dhow Palace was very comfortable and clean and in a great spot set away from the port and some of the tourist hotspots where the guys will try and hustle you to go on a tour

The whole hotel is beautiful, our room was great (and had air-conditioning), everything was clean and well maintained. Great views of Stone Town from the rooftop

Fantastic interior. Takes you back 120 years for sure. Very atmospheric. But the food in the restaurant is not great, especially the pizza. Need to work on that.

Our room was relatively small I guess depends on prices. Go see it ! Team in very nice and friendly. Great affordable stay at stone town Zanzibar

Africa house sunset bar sea view was amazing & historical place. have a wonderful place to fun & joy.. one of the best place in stone town. also have a Tanzanite shop.. best place to buy Tanzanite jewellers & stone.

Review: enjoy the perfect Chicken Biryani at this restaurant with an amazing sea view in Stonetown. Food: the Chicken Biryani is a perfect blend of spices - fresh cinnamon, cardamom, clove

The restaurant has the most amazing terrace overlooking the ocean to enjoy the sunset. The staff are very nice and kind. Manas, the manager, has been most helpful for any information we needed

I was here in 2004 as an 11 year old kid and I still think about this place and their fries. All burned into my memory all these years later. Thank you to the fry cook all those years ago

Really nice Chinese restaurant in Africa. I would say this is not a localised Chinese restaurant as aChinese. Worth to visit if u want to have real Chinese food here.

Africa House Hotel is an old historic building in Stone Town. Great location, comfortable, spacious, beautiful room and includes a good breakfast

A calm and quite place near to sea side. Absolutely clean and healthy environment with delicious food and free room service facilities. Friendly staffs and a team of well trained people who always love to offer help.

Pros: close to the airport, customer service is impeccable, place is surprisingly clean, seaside view is mesmerizing. Cons: no alcohol, short menu, no alcohol... NO ALCOHOL. Would definitely recommend for a short stay.

No, not a 5-star luxury resort, but a cozy, clean place to hang your hat while you tour and explore. Great and attentive staff. Cheap price and attentive staff. About 20 minutes from airport, longer with traffic.

The staff are very professional and welcoming. The hotel is extremely neat and even smells fresh. The rooms are spacious and have all amenities including a fully functional AC. Above all the price is affordable

Such a nice sun set view and a roof top food point

Decent price and nice hotel. Breakfast was good but busy and not enough seating. For physically impaired... the list is not functional. Pool is under construction.

What a nice little spot. Budget friendly. Friendly stuff clean rooms and air con. What an amazing stay

Conveniently located within walking distance of the ferry terminal and major sites of Stone Town. Has a good view of the water from the roof top restaurant where the food served is edible

Room is decent, but bathroom could use some updating and re-grouting

I can say much but lots of gratitude for the lovely service I got at this lovely hotel,the checkin was flawless I arrived quite early and they went overboard and gave me an early checkin, the room was a seaview quite different from what I had booked they did an upgrade for me which was a surprise by itself I had the best experience thanks to zanzibar beach and promise to be back next year

I went out if season so the hotel was quiet. Rooms are serviced daily and amenities are good. Hotel is on the beach and the tide goes far out each day but comes right up to the hotel in the afternoons

A nice place near to beach an near yo town,somewhere you can get to know Zanzibae Better

Visiting this hotel for many years but never saw it in that bad condition. Dirty, lots of things broken, absolutely dirty beach, no love, no care somehow. All somehow tasted very similar and over spiced

Third is they need to work on the hygiene, looks like my room wasn't cleaned quite well and could see some insects. Besides that, it's a good hotel with a beautiful sea view and great customer service

Don't go there if you're looking for a stay on the beach ... actually, there are much better hotels in Zanzibar.
