Hotels on first line in Zanzibar City

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!

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

right on the beach and very close to airport. lovely building too.

The ambience is good overall. The location is the best about this property.

Excellent hotel. Delicious food and drinks. Wonderful hotel manager Aisha. There is a free shuttle to Stone Town. Convenient location of the hotel to visit Stone Town, Kendwa and other neighboring locations

I came with friends to see the sea. It is in the center of Stone Town and has a good location. Overall it is good and I will choose it again if I have the chance.

There is noise from the beach at certain times, especially in the evening, as the local community enjoys the beach and ocean. It was not a problem for us we always travel with a sound machine that blocks out most noise

It's not new, but very beautiful. When we checked in, they said there were no sea view rooms, what a pity. ; The hotel is on the west side of the island

Right in the heart of Stone Town, you can go downstairs to the beach. There are fresh coconuts for breakfast, but they are not sweet enough

The hotel is beautiful. It is located at the heart of Stone town. If you like luxury than this hotel is for you. I’m definitely going to go back. The food and the friendly staff made my stay extra special.

Haha, maybe the African coconuts are not the right variety, they don't feel sweet enough. The overall service facilities are good and meet the standards of a 5-star 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 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

Very good hotel, good environment, good service, a small beach, clean swimming pool. We booked a one-price package with three meals included, and the food was very good and it felt very worthwhile.

If you want to see some of the long Zanzibar beaches - then I might combine with another hotel (if you have not seen the long beaches before). Some will likely be disappointed with low tide beach play

Important remark; all of Zanzibar beaches will have challenges to swim during low tide (some parts of Nungwi might be OK, but that is a busy place compared to Zanzi Resort)

High tide is awesome for swimming at Zanzi from the beach. During low tide, you need beach-footware or use the pier

Close to Stone Town, so if you want to combine with Zafari and stuff then this is one of the better locations compared to the north and east sides. Zanzi is perfect for couples and families wanting to hang out together

The breakfast is super awesome and I would argue that it is better than most top breakfasts in the Nordics - even the ones that win breakfast awards

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

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

Location is by the sea. Facilities and services are average.

If you like the local style, this hotel is the best among the hotels and is highly recommended. Because it is right by the sea, there will be crows as your companions during the open breakfast

Most of the rooms have a sea view, there are two swimming pools (one infinity) and a private beach. The room has a Moroccan-style bathroom

Even the room with no sea view from the balcony (see video) was sold as a sea view room; the check-out time was set before 10 am, which was unheard of; there were a lot of complaints...

The room is very big and the electrical appliances are Chinese brands! The beach is right at the door, so it's convenient to go out to the sea. The hotel has three swimming pools and the children had a lot of fun

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

The rooms are large and the air conditioning was effective and the pool is huge. The staff were exemplary in bringing towels and arranging sunbeds and umbrellas

I love the nature here, the garden, the pool and that the hotel is close to the sea, but you can’t swim in the beach here. The service is perfect, everyone here are so kind and friendly

A big swimming pool with only a few selins if you are not resident of the hotel and they gibe you a towel to use while there. The staff there was really polite and always with a smile!

I had the most amazing stay at Zanzibar Beach resort during my vacation in Tanzania. From the stunning views to the exceptional service, everything exceeded my expectations

A few minutes drive from Stone town. A great place to go when you can't swim in the sea because of the tide

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

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 swimming pool was nice. The beach does not exist but the ocean view is one to die for.

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.

good experience Service: The hotel staff are always smiling and try their best to meet our needs. The food in the restaurant is also delicious

Facilities: The room is fully equipped with refrigerator, iron and hair dryer

Very nice hotel! Excellent service!

Very good! Good room, good facilities, good service. Right by the sea, beautiful scenery, convenient.

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

We liked the place. Room was great etc. The elevator is funky, requiring patrons to fully close cage door when exiting. If not done properly, others can't use. Otherwise, the place was great.

Wide view, large room, clean and sanitary, rich breakfast variety

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

First of all, the lighting in the house is insufficient, especially at night, the overall feeling is very old under the dim light, and it does not look clean and hygienic enough

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

Very nice, impressive hotel style

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

Such a lovely hotel for a very affordable price. Located in the city center next to those winding shopping streets, very stylish with the vintage furniture on the inside and incredibly helpful staff!

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

I enjoyed seeing all the curated old artifacts and reading up on the 500 year history of the place. The room was comfortable and quiet. The bathroom was modern and clean

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

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

Great little Annex hotel, to the main hotel tembo house (less than 1 minute walk between the 2) We had a family room which had 3 large double beds and plenty of space for 2 adults and 2 kids

Breakfast was very nice, with a varied selection. Pool facilities and restaurant were both great. Hotel staff were extremely helpful and friendly

We stayed in a family room in the annex. The beds were pretty comfy and the bathroom huge. We had a constant supply of hot water and I liked that the fridge had cold water already in it when we arrived

Excellent hotel in the center of the old city. There are all amenities nearby - shops, cafes, souvenir shops. Good breakfast and incredible view by the pool 😍

This was topped up during our stay. The room had a safe, air con and ceiling fans. As two females we felt comfortable walking from the hotel to the night market and back late at night

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.

The staff and manager were so helpful and organised a trip at short notice to prison islands. The beds were very comfortable, the house staff were great and the towels were always in a lovely design and great service

Additional Bonuses: For a mid-budget hotel, it is located in a fairly swanky hotel hood:it is virtually a stone throw away from the following - the beach, a fantastic retaurant called "6 degrees" and other great coffee shops and restaurants

The breakfast on the terrace was lovely. Would recommend a stay if you are in stone town

Perfect location, and very rich and pleasant breakfast on the roof.

Plus, any alleyway you choose to take (eastwards , that is) as you head out to explore Stone Town will lead you to any of the following - the Freddie Mercury museum, the Old Fort, the Night Market and many, many other places which you will discover as you go on your exploratory walk

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

Beautiful and comfortable place to stay. Loved the ambiance, staff were very friendly. Would definitely come back for future stays. Rooftop restaurant is great for having meals while looking at the sea

Traditional hotel in Stone town and great sea view from rooftop restaurant. Budget friendly and clean. Dedicated staff and helpful

The property was in a walking distance of all sites in Stone Town. The service and hospitality was excellent. I enjoyed my stay at Al-Johari and plan to stay there if I return to Zanzibar. I highly recommend this hotel!

This is a unique property in the Stone Town area of the Zanzibar, close vicinity to the Forodha Park , the hotel is quiet and gives you a feel of the ancient times a great break from the new modern hotels

Happy to change pressure as needed, welcoming and a delight in general. The room and atmosphere was Also lovely. Maryam is only massaging women so I feel Should be supported in her endeavors

I even extended my stay with them and they were very adaptable and accommodating to any of our needs. Must give it a try specially the breakfast in the restaurants early morning
