Hôtels - Zanzibar

Location and staff

Simple but friendly, good quality option in stone town.

Kayak's price was ~$30 less than booking at the hotel. The person at reception couldn't match the rate even though I was standing at the reception desk while booking.

Big clean comfortable beds, spacious room, great wifi, fridge in the room, excellent tv reception with lots of channels

We didn't have hot water the first day. They fixed it the second, but the water pressure wasn't very good- I don't have thick hair and it took awhile to rinse the shampoo out... It's set back a ways from road so you need help with your bags an the food in the restaurant is limited and prices are high. Better breakfast at the Serena

Terrific hotel with wonderful pool, views, right on the beach, good food selection and quality, superb staff. A bit pricey for being right in stone town (and therefore not on the nicest beach), but a great place to stay for those who don't have time to get out to the further parts of the island

After complaining for two days they finally gave us a room that most things worked

The location. The fact they advertise a workout room and every piece of equipment is broken and they use the room as storage. I have never been more disappointed it all nearly ruined our trip.
