Hotel a Zanzibar

Punti positivi: Beautiful place surrounded by a thick and lush vegetation. We were welcomed by a caring and very kind staff. Breakfast and dinner a la carte, with different menus every night, consisting of a choice between two entrees, three different main courses (including at least one vegetarian, one meat, and one fish) and a different dessert. The care of the dishes is as exceptional as the quality of the raw materials and the success of the individual dishes. One evening they also organized a barbecue evening accompanied by traditional music. Incredible accommodation: a villa with a private pool right on the beach. Experience to be repeated Posto stupendo immerso in una foltissima e rigogliosa vegetazione. Siamo stati accolti e coccolati da uno staff premuroso e gentilissimo. Colazione e cena a la carte, con menù differenziato ogni sera, composto da una scelta tra due entree, tre diversi main course (di cui almeno uno vegetariano, uno carne, e uno pesce) e dessert sempre diverso. Eccezionale tanto la cura dei piatti quanto la qualità delle materie prime e la riuscita dei singoli piatti. Una sera hanno organizzato anche una serata barbecue accompagnata da musiche tradizionali. Alloggio incredibile: una villa con piscina privata proprio sulla spiaggia. Esperienza assolutamente da ripetere

Punti positivi: Everything about Zanzi Resort was just perfect. The privacy, reception, food, staff, boat cruise, the room, private pool etc! Just wonderful stay

Punti positivi: Privacy

Punti negativi: Everything

Punti positivi: Totally private and set in beautiful surroundings with sea views

Punti positivi: The food was absolutely incredible. The staff couldn't do enough for you, excellent service. The pool was lovely and the rooms extremely clean and spacious.

Punti negativi: We were on honeymoon and this wasnt acknowledged. We stayed 2 days and 1 of these days was quite noisy as work was being carried out so hard to relax. Not a great beach.

Punti positivi: It was a perfect place for our honeymoon. Our villa was amazing and spacious and had a private access to the beach, which we really enjoyed every morning and also in the afternoon. Also, I want to point out the amazing quality and variety of the food during breakfast and dinner. Congratulations to the chefs! The staff was truly fantastic, always smiling, very professional and always ready to help. We absolutely recommend Zanzi Resort

Punti negativi: The massages were very good, but maybe a little pricey

Punti negativi: Resort incantevole! Staff cordiale ed accogliente

Punti positivi: Having a wonderful dinner at the jetty. It was so romantic and we will never forget about that. THANK YOU!!!

Punti positivi: We loved the privacy of our villa and range of services (trips, activities etc.) offered. The resort is an absolute jungle and wild beach paradise and quality of service exceeded our expectations every time. The staff went out of their way to accommodate each and every request. Definitely recommend as the perfect couples getaway. The resort is located on the western coast of the island (mostly jungle and rocky beaches) so if you’re after white sand beaches and turquoise water, the northern and eastern sides of the island are the better choices. However, the views of the ocean from the resort are some of the most amazing I have ever seen.

Punti positivi: Everybody there was very kind and helpful, very very nice people working there Food was very good

Punti positivi: I enjoyed every moment at the resort i saw an amazing sunset and we enjoyed our private dinner at the beach thank you so much to all the staff

Punti negativi: Tout était super

Punti positivi: Big property, good breakfast and spacious room.

Punti negativi: Nothing major but the beach is far away.

Punti positivi: The service was amazing. The staff so happy and super kind. Its difficult to find something negative to say.

Punti negativi: The beach. Impossible to go to the water. But amazing view. I can,t connect this with the hotel. Its pure nature. After 9pm the room staff constantly knock the door, when we were slepping already.

Punti positivi: La posizione, la spiaggia privata e la Jetty Lounge sono da urlo! Il cibo è squisito e la formula All Inclusive è un must per godersi al meglio il soggiorno!

Punti negativi: Il prezzo

Punti negativi: Per il prezzo pagato esistono hotel migliori nella zona. La basic room è proprio sufficientemente soddisfacente il che non è coerente con il prezzo pagato. La spiaggia non è a due passi, ma a 15 minuti a piedi oppure a 3 minuti con il servizio navetta presente ogni 20 minuti Bene ma non benissimo!!!!

Punti positivi: The beach in new area .

Punti negativi: The buffet is not at all a five star service not a luxury. Being too big it goes towards a 4 star. In general not value for money. Old structures not so well maintained . Too many people to serve, not exclusive treatment of guests except at Gaby beach.

Punti positivi: It was perfect!!! A paradise!!!

Punti positivi: Everything was perfect, especially food was taste.

Punti negativi: Nothing

Punti positivi: Atmosfera, comfort, wellness

Punti negativi: Insettini del legno in giro per la camera

Punti positivi: The place is amazing and staff as well very friendly

Punti negativi: There is no bicycles so we can move around

Punti positivi: This place is gorgeous from the minute you enter that gate till the time you leave.

Punti positivi: EVERYTHING. From the way we were greeted with two welcome drinks, to the fantastic staff, who was extremely welcoming and impressively friendly. We had a leakage in the ceiling of our room (with partial sea view) during the first night and the next morning we were already in a new, very large room with nearly frontal sea view (or should I say a apartment? It had an additional balcony and a huge living room). The food was delicious (and we have vegetarian preferences) and the drinks were always very tasty. The beautiful beach is a bit far from the main buildings but there is a caddy that takes you there every 20min (the beach in front of the hotel is more like a reef). Overall, it was an excellent experience - we loved it!

Punti negativi: Everything was lovely! The only things I would change would be the mattress and decrease the AC noise. When those are the complaints we have, you can see how amazing everything was!

Punti positivi: Beautiful location, amazing beach

Punti positivi: Staff was very friendly and helpfull. Great food and room, great view from the pool area.

Punti positivi: Calm, clean, friendly staff, small place, beautiful sea and access to send beach

Punti negativi: Internet was slow, but that is almost everywhere

Punti positivi: The property is really nice and charming with a beautiful infinity pool overlooking the beach. With only 20 bungalows, you get to know the staff who is always super friendly and make our stay an amazing one. We stayed in the bungalows with the private pool which are spacious and comfortable!

Punti positivi: Very nice beach and excellent service. We felt like at home, all the people working in the hotel are very kind. They always had a smile in the face. Our flight was late, we could stay in the hotel during the day until departure. There are some showers for late check-outs. Excellent stay, I will recommend to anyone looking for a peaceful and isolated place.

Punti negativi: Restaurant: There is not much choice and its quite pricy. Every night you need to choose 2/3course dinner that costs ~30USD (without drinks). We had excellent dinners in another hotel for 10USD each. On top, there is not much offer outside of the hotel... Location: It has a great beach and it is isolated to the rest of the island. This is a positive and negative side. From our point of view it was too isolated. There is nothing to do in the surroundings.

Punti positivi: Abbiamo trascorso una notte in questo hotel situato su un pezzo della spiaggia di Pongwe. Spiaggia deserta, due soli beach Boys, attrezzata di lettini, ombrelloni e amache. Soggetta alle maree come tutte quella di questa costa, dai colori stupendi, quando il mare di ritira si formano lingue di sabbia bellissime. L'hotel è ben tenuto, ha una piscina bellissima a sfioro sul mare (vedi foto), camera (suite con piscinetta privata) molto grande. Non c'è aria condizionata. Staff gentile, parlano inglese e poco italiano.

Punti negativi: Wifi troppo ballerino e prezzi del cibo un po' cari per la qualitá proposta.

Punti positivi: Food was excellent and value for money.

Punti positivi: The location is fantastic!

Punti negativi: Dinner price is high especially when in family

Punti positivi: The hotel was full but seemed quiet so it was very relaxing. The staff were fantastic . You are asked to order dinner at least 2 hours before service and there are 2 options for each course. Once we got used to this it wasn’t a problem and The food was really good.

Punti negativi: Nothing I can think of.

Punti positivi: Great beautiful place on a gorgeous beach. The staff are lovely and the rooms are very nice. Nice breakfast and little touches, like robes and free water etc.

Punti negativi: It’s a bit pricey for food - but the quality is good. It’s not close by to much stuff so you do sort of have to stay there to eat etc.

Punti positivi: Tutto perfetto è un paradiso

Punti negativi: Non c’è niente da dire

Punti positivi: The beautiful location, amazing staff, delicious food. The beach was amazing and a great destination to explore the mid and south of this beautiful island

Punti negativi: Nothing

Punti positivi: Serena Hotel was our first stop in Zanzibar on what has turned out to be one of the best trip of our lives. We spent two nights in stone town at the Serena Hotel. The hotel is really quite a heritage in stone town. Fantastically located, just a short walk from the old city. An excellent breakfast spread and really charming room which still has lots of classic touches that make it quite authentic. Tip: book a sun down dinner at the Emerson Spice which is a 10 min walk from the hotel! And book in advance to get the roof top/terrace!

Punti negativi: There was a wedding on our last night and whilst it was quite entertaining to watch, I do wish the hotel had informed us as we could not go to bed until after 11pm when the wedding ended.

Punti positivi: view was ok from the room

Punti negativi: no lifts you have to walk up the stairs to whatever floor you are on

Punti positivi: The staff were very friendly and eager to help. However we were given some incorrecr information which completely derailed our plans for the final night.

Punti negativi: The room we stayed in was poorly located and didn't catch any breeze and so was stiflingly hot and the a/c was glacial. A ceiling fan might be a possible option to ensure the rooms can stay cool. The bathroom was ridiculously small and in need of some upgrades to the fittings, particularly the taps and the showerhead which were encrusted with lime from the water. The sad little shower curtain was not a great look either. The breakfast has been the worst breakfast I have had at a supposedly 5* hotel. Both the hot and cold options were severely limited and underwhelming. The food was not particularly tasty either.

Punti positivi: Staff is very friendly and we had some nice conversations with everyone. We really enjoyed the atmosphere and the options available to us. My wife had a massage and she loved it, breakfast buffet was perfect, and the food at the restaurant was very good. The location was perfect for venturing out to local bars and eateries for a change of scenery. The beach view from our room was perfect. Great hotel all in all.

Punti negativi: The bathroom tub/shower area could be fixed. There was mildew/mold in certain spots, and a lot of rust. The shower water also was finicky, we couldn’t seem to get any cold water going, so showers were very hot. Also, we had written to the hotel that we would be celebrating our honeymoon, and were told to expect flowers and fruits, but we only got fruits. We weren’t treated in any way special to make us feel like we were celebrating our honeymoon. It wasn’t even in the room notes, so none of the staff really knew. At our other hotel, we were greeted with congratulations and champagne and flowers. This is definitely an area you can improve upon for other couples celebrating special occasions.

Punti positivi: Wonderful staff, the views, the character of this hotel a

Punti positivi: I loved the hotel but I do think that all the Serena and all the higher ranking hotels in Stonetown charge far too much money in general. It’s a beautiful hotel and the staff are wonderful but I’d say £900 or thereabouts for 3 nights is too much. Those are big city prices

Punti positivi: Massage

Punti negativi: Incompetence in planning a birthday

Punti positivi: Beautiful period rooms with great views to the sea. Hotel from a bygone era that maintains its charm and quality without modernizing too much. Nice outdoor patio area and pool. Great location.

Punti negativi: Lack of late check out beyond 10am although bag storage provided for the meantime. Breakfast was very limited and poor quality for the price of the stay and the elegant restaurant surroundings. Expensive for the services provided although a treat for a short stay.

Punti positivi: Perfect location, and an easy walk to main sites in Stone Town. Mollel at reception was very helpful in booking two nice excursions for me on a very short notice. Yousif Kabir at reception is also very nice and kind. Rabia, Amina at reception and another lady that I cannot recall her name unfortunately. The hotel terrace overlooking the Indian ocean is very nice. I could spend hours just sitting there. Restaurants are very good with excellent quality and taste of food. Excellent service too. Housekeeping is excellent too and very kind and helpful. If I visit Stone Town again, very likely I will stay at the same hotel.

Punti negativi: Nothing I can think of

Punti positivi: - Staff is very professional and friendly - hotel complex with beautiful garden, palms, beach and the whole Ambiente - Food is very delicious - Specials like free cocktail or canapés - Beautiful gift at the end of our stay - support for keeping our luggage for 4 days during the safari - personally welcome and support by hotelmanager

Punti negativi: - cocktails and wine are not delicious, doesn’t match with 5* stars hotel and doesn’t match to the fabulous food. Food is 5* class, but not the beverages especially cocktails are just water - In the room we had not normal things like shampoo, conditioner and body lotion, just shampoo and this was not the good one, usually in 5* stars hotels you cans find anything ( that’s way I didn’t buy these things by myself and had to buy this in shop for 28$ bodylotion , this is not acceptable at all, such expensive prices just for Nivea body lotion) in general the shop offers prices to feel like a silly tourist, cheap china quality flip flops for 30$ etc - Excepted more for honeymoon as Just Prosecco for free, in other hotels at Sansibar (which we’re not so expensive) we did get flowers, lovely personally written message, and also upgrade for free. I didn’t excepted this at all, but If i compare with others this was definitely different and we paid much more here. - gym is too small and too old, also doesn’t match to the rest of the hotel. This will be okay for 3 stars but not for 5.

Punti positivi: Meals were delicious. Decor was fascinating. Service was impeccable!

Punti negativi: I would have like the dinner to have been served earlier, like 6 or 630. And I was surprised at how hard the mattresses were...was not as comfortable sleeping as I thought I would be.

Punti positivi: The resort itself is truly excellent. It is well thought out and perfect for relaxation.

Punti negativi: The location of the resort is not great being on the east of Zanzibar island. This means no sunsets visible from the resort and far from the local attractions of Zanzibar. The vegetarian options for dinner need some work.

Punti positivi: Manager and the staff in the restaurant was very good; reception and welcoming wwere not enough.

Punti negativi: I don't like the sea, it was too windy and we couldn't sit on the beach . Room was too old and there were lots of mosquitos in he room and we askd for housekeeping.

Punti positivi: The staff here are amazingly friendly and extremely helpful Rooms are a great size Food is excellent

Punti negativi: If I had to give one negative it would be that it is slightly secluded in the location.

Punti negativi: Didn’t like that the hotel wasn’t modern. The bathrooms are small and although we had half board we had to pay for our drinks including water!

Punti positivi: The staff were exceptional. Fantastic service, very friendly, welcoming and attentive! They truly made our stay!

Punti negativi: The rooms are incredibly basic, tired, dark and need redecorating. No amenities available in the room, toilet barely flushed, towels small, no pest control, the mosquitos were horrendous at this place. Good average, salads and fish should be kept in a cold room or on ice. Bees were a pest in the morning swarming around pastries and jams, made eating unpleasant. More frustratingly is the rule for men to wear trousers at dinner, this is an antiquated and ridiculous rule especially as there were men dressed in sports shirts, safari gear and women inappropriately dressed, yet smart chino shorts on men was deemed unacceptable at dinner, what a ridiculous rule for such a basic hotel. This is not a 5* hotel.

Punti positivi: L'abitat , la struttura nel suo complesso e l'organizzazione.

Punti negativi: Indiscutibilmente e solo il collegamento WiFi ...quasi assente per il PC

Punti positivi: Resort molto confortevole e dotato di tutti i servizi, compresa una grande e raffinata piscina. La spiaggia è a pochi passi. Stanza molto comoda e personale sempre attento. Pulizia molto ben curata

Punti negativi: Il servizio wifi gratuito copre solo l'area comune. Bisogna pagare un supplemento per averlo in camera. Politica poco condivisibile soprattutto per lo standard della struttura

Punti positivi: Staff were super friendly

Punti negativi: Bugs ! And mosquitos

Punti positivi: What a magnificent resort. The service, the food, the accommodation - all excellent. The beach is wonderful; as it the 'beach area' on the property itself. If there was a criticism it would be that the photos do not do the property justice! Please update your photos... What an exceptional property; well worth a visit!

Punti positivi: Beautiful resort, extremely easy on the eye. Great location, quiet area with not many tourists. What sets Baraza apart from other places is the service. I’ve stayed all over the world in 5 star establishments, this place ranks as the best I’ve been to. We arrived very early on our day of check in, Evelyn was kind enough to check us in to our room after just 20 minutes of waiting whilst we were served refreshments upon arrival. Evelyn and Garieb made our stay a pleasure by helping with all our requests, tending to all our activities booked etc. Every time we left the resort for an activity (stone town tour etc) they were even kind enough to see us off and ensure we had refreshments for our trip. Evelyn made sure we weren’t charged for the tray charge the day we ordered room service as my wife was sick and couldn’t make it to dinner. Exceptional attention to each client of the resort is clearly evident and everyone feels as if they are royalty. Garieb was helpful in booking all off- resort activities like fishing etc. Melisa (manager I assume) runs a tight ship and was kind enough to welcome us on arrival. Please thank Evelyn and Garieb for their excellent service and making our stay the best we’ve ever had! Food was amazing , breakfast lunch and dinner were always filled with a variety of options which would suit even the fussiest of palettes. They ask you on arrival if you have any specific dietary requirements so be sure to tell them and they will gladly accommodate your dietary needs. If food is a big part of your holiday, stay here! Even the room service is included in the All Inclusive package and only tray charges are charged. Excellent for the days when you’re too lazy to go off to restaurants and would rather enjoy the gorgeous villas. Could not ask for a better honeymoon, thank you Baraza!

Punti negativi: Nothing, everything was perfect.

Punti positivi: The architecture was unique and set a very relaxing ambience. The staff were there to tend to everything you could ask for. The food varied between buffet lunches and set menu dinners - all of which were varied and imaginative. The spa was by some margin the most impressive one we had experienced at any hotel. Perfect for couples.

Punti negativi: The on-site shop is incredibly expensive: if you are looking for something local pick it up at a market. Perhaps worth noting that the airport and the main market town on the island are just over an hour drive away.

Punti positivi: The pool, the beach and the spa!

Punti negativi: 1. We were at the last room (24) far away from everything, when we asked to change because the hotel was not full, they said no. 2. We asked the reception to make a phone call to our credit card, we waited for 30 minutes at the room and they never did. I guess they forgot. 3. The first day we arrived we went to the sports center to ask for snorkel, they said that we could do it any day at midday. As we were at Baraza only 3 days we thought: today (first day) or our last day. We approach the sports office 1.5hs before the excursión started and they said it was too late. We were angry because they did not say we needed to confirm so much in advanced, but ok, decided to book for our last day. Unfortunately, the called us and say that there were a lot of jelly fish in the lagoon, they canceled our snorkel excursion

Punti positivi: Excellent villa and very friendly staff. Recommend

Punti negativi: The pool in the villa should be bigger

Punti positivi: People attention was perfect. Thank you Juma, Simon and Tito for your hospitality. You made as feel like home.

Punti positivi: Great spot to relax and enjoy the beach. Some of the reviews said the lunches were not good, we found it excellent. Candle light dinner on the beach was really nice

Punti negativi: It did get very hot

Punti positivi: The staff were helpful, especially accepting the right to cancel (stayed 1 night instead of 5).

Punti negativi: Please understand that I wish someone had written some warnings before I booked - the Island is called Grave Island for a reason...as there is a sizable C19th graveyard situated close to the beach huts. The huts themselves have no a/c, no TV, no wifi, no fridge, no hot water and are very basic - in fact they don't have electricity as the island generator is only started for a few hours in the morning and evening for the kitchen to prepare food. For the money you would expect some luxury, however the place didn't offer the basics - so after one night I cancelled the rest of the stay

Punti positivi: Well, can’t say much about our stay in this beautiful Island and resort. Everything was so perfect and beautiful. From the breakfast to the dinner, the pool, the staff, the room... for sure that words will not explain enough about our stay there. Plus, they provide to the guests a free boat transport to Stone Town at 10 am and coming back to Chapwani at 13:30, so you have plenty of time to visti the main city and come back again to enjoy this little paradise. Hope to see them all again. Sante

Punti positivi: Soggiorno indimenticabile

Punti positivi: We loved the place. Such a beautiful Gateaway . We will be back

Punti positivi: Posizione magnifica - 15 minuti da Stone Town ma privacy completa. Carta dei vini eccellente e cibo fantastico

Punti positivi: The relaxing atmosphere, the huge secluded house that we got as a bungalow for two nights given you the sensation to have your own private island. Great snorkeling and strange animals everywhere to discover for the kids... The restaurant is good, the staff and manager are very kind and discreet.

Punti negativi: Would have liked to stay longer !!!

Punti positivi: The beach. The location. The staff

Punti negativi: Food choice was not available. The facilities in room were extremely basic given the cost per night to stay here

Punti positivi: Tutto. Posto magico ed esclusivo (massimo venti persone sull’intera isola). Dal cibo, allo staff, dalla pace e riservatezza alla posizione strategica tutto davvero ottimo

Punti negativi: Niente

Punti positivi: La cortesia dello staff, il cibo e il senso di libertà e di assoluto relax che solo un soggiorno in un isola incontaminata possono offrire. Il dormire a contatto diretto con il mare con il suono delle onde che ti culla durante la notte è una esperienza incantevole, il dimenticarsi i ritmi della "civiltà", uscire dalla stanza e trovarsi la sabbia sotto i piedi vale più di qualsiasi "confort" moderno. Da riprovare.

Punti positivi: Nice big room and good food. Nice staff.

Punti negativi: We were the only people with an airco in the room. Other people were complaining that it was to hot in their rooms. You can't pay with credit card also you have to take a lot of money with you. You almost need a suitcase.

Punti positivi: Photos don't do the place justice. Breakfast was really good! The staff was extremely helpful. I really enjoyed starting each day looking out over the city with a delicious cup of coffee.

Punti positivi: Very nice rooftop and good coffee.

Punti positivi: Staff were amazing! Very friendly and helpful. It’s unfortunate they don’t serve dinner but they were very accommodating in giving recommendations for other great places

Punti positivi: Everything... The room, the people, the service, the location, the food, the history, the culture. .. Don't miss this place.

Punti negativi: Nothing.

Punti positivi: Amazing place, Best crew in stone town. And the Best coffee around. Thanks

Punti positivi: The coffee obvs is really good there. We had the "arabica suite" which has a lot of space! The location is pretty good as well to start exploring stone town from there. Personnel was friendly and helped whenever we had any questions.

Punti negativi: the only thing that was really bad was the taxi they organized for us to go to Nungwi after the stay. It was quite expensive compared to Zanibar average prices and totally sucked: tiny car, disgustingly dirty, no AC so the driver opened the windows the whole time while driving through construction sites which left us covered in dust. Soooo yea... it's not really a negative point for the hotel (which was great) but since they booked it and charged us for it I wanna leave this here.

Punti positivi: posizione

Punti positivi: Nel caotico labirinto dei vicoli del meritevole centro storico di Stone Town, spicca la struttura dello Zanzibar Coffee House. L'antica dimora del 1885 - gradevolmente riconvertita in hotel boutique con annesso "Caffè" - mantiene pienamente le sue promesse: le camere, ricche del fascino dato dagli splendidi mobili antichi e dalle preziose suppellettili sapientemente abbinate, sono super confortevoli e curate alla perfezione dal gioviale personale (con riassetto pre-serale al fine di regolare a/c e spruzzare spray anti-zanzare). L'ordine e la pulizia sono parole d'ordine in un palazzo d'epoca dove la polvere potrebbe essere imperante.. invece, nonostante i vari piani con i molteplici corridoi - ricchi di piante e di splendide sedute - e con gli svariati anfratti e ripostigli, regna ovunque un preciso ordinato fascino antico che rende l'atmosfera particolarmente gradevole ed accogliente. Imperdibile la terrazza sul tetto con vista a 360° sulla città, ad uso esclusivo degli Ospiti durante l'orario della colazione e dal pomeriggio per tutto l'orario notturno - è qui ho trascorso l'attesa del mio taxi destinazione aeroporto per una partenza alle prime luci dell'alba, gentilmente autorizzata dalla manager nonostante il mio già avvenuto check-out. Un doveroso plauso a Miss Saphira: un gesto di tale ospitalità va segnalato a conferma di tutto ciò di positivo che la permanenza presso questa struttura potrà offrirvi!

Punti negativi: Cosa SAREBBE POTUTO non piacermi: la collocazione del bagno privato situato esternamente alla camera da letto (per ovvi motivi legati alla disposizione degli spazi interni della struttura) mi aveva inizialmente impensierita.. in realtà non costituisce affatto un problema, visto l'esiguo numero di Ospiti presenti e la breve distanza da percorrere. Anche il prezzo apparentemente importante per la minuscola stanza singola potrebbe dapprima essere un deterrente nella scelta di questa sistemazione.. ma l'esperienza di "vivere" una dimora storica come questa con tutto il suo piacevole contorno giustifica assolutamente l'importo pagato!

Punti positivi: La stanza arredata con molto gusto. Incantevole la struttura e la terrazza per la colazione.

Punti positivi: Location perfect plus roof top breakfast

Punti negativi: Quite noisy in the morning with the sounds of the town

Punti positivi: Hotel di fascino, ma senza l'atmosfera che mi sarei aspettato dalle descrizioni. Curato nei dettagli con un bel terrazzo con vista dove fare la colazione. Letto comodo e ampio. Aria condizionata funzionante e sufficientemente silenziosa. Accoglienza calorosa con offerta di caffè nell'attesa della camera.

Punti negativi: Reception inesistente e assenza di spazi comuni. La suite Cappuccino non vale la spesa visto che è piccola ed il bagno scomodissimo con delle scale irregolari per raggiungerlo; la doccia è priva di tenda. Manca il frigorifero e mancherebbe anche la TV (ma per me non ha importanza). A mio parere la spesa di $170 è sproporzionata. La struttura si trova in pieno centro irraggiungibile dai taxi e la sera non è agevole avventurarsi nei vicoli bui.

Punti positivi: great helpful staff, delicious coffee, magic place , I recommend it

Punti positivi: Very quite Very clean

Punti negativi: The way from main road to the hotel is really Bad ( 7 minutes ) No A/C Food can be better

Punti positivi: Staff was absolutely wonderful

Punti negativi: Cute little place however lack of Aircon in the rooms was a huge disadvantage

Punti positivi: Tranquilla ,silenziosa riservata

Punti positivi: Super cozy, wonderful atmosphere and extra stuff. Realy had wonderful vacation.

Punti negativi: No small towel in bathroom

Punti positivi: Very beautiful accomodation with friendly staff. They were super motivated to meet your every need. Food is good, but portions are a bit small.

Punti negativi: You’re allowed to swim from seven till seven and after that it’s a bit quiet. Not really a buzzing place but a nice spot if you wanna get away from the business in paje.

Punti positivi: Very clean and small and nicely decorated

Punti negativi: there is no common area on the beach or with view on the beach. the pool is very small and the pool and restaurant are at the back of the beach. the beach is not really clean.

Punti positivi: The bungalow are really nicely designed and decorated mostare in front on the beach with direct access. Nice pool. Small and cosy lodge. Definitely quiet with awesome staff dedicated to make your stay as pleasant as possible.

Punti negativi: To have a la carte menu for dinner would be great with more choice on seafood especially grilled sea food.a bit far away from everything. You need a local cab. Walking to Paje is approx 1h, 4.3km.

Punti positivi: The staff were very friendly

Punti negativi: Not close to much, but plenty of taxis around to assist

Punti positivi: Le camere erano molto ampie e il ristorante delizioso. Sono stati gentilissimi nell’organizzarci le escursioni.

Punti negativi: Il bagno era all’aperto per cui quando pioveva era inagibile.

Punti positivi: Great location, quiet, no rocks on the beach, long sand for walking. 30 minutes by foot to Paje. Very friendly staff. Always available to help. Super spacious room with two floors and a few meters from the beach. Outside bathroom, in a garden, very nice.

Punti positivi: The location is perfect. Everything worth seeing in Stone Town is about 3-15 minutes away. We walked everywhere and never took more than ten minutes to get to the beach.

Punti negativi: Coffee was not good and the breakfast options are limited.

Punti positivi: Staff where very pleasant

Punti negativi: The fact that I had to take another room because I traveled with my 5yr old kid who slept with me in any case. The other just layed empty

Punti positivi: The room was a nice size and very comfortable. Just a bit dusty above the mosquito netting. Breakfast venue with stunning views and good food. Nicely decorated with great antiques and a wonderful history.

Punti negativi: No lift so quite a walk up to the room via the stairs so not recommended for people who struggle with stairs or ask fro a lower floor room.

Punti positivi: Beautiful city hotel in a historic building, nicely renovated. Staff well trained and super friendly.

Punti negativi: In my view too expensive for what you get. We paid around 260$ night, which is just about 100$ more than it should, compared too my (vas) travel experiences. But this is just my opinion...

Punti positivi: Gli arredi dell’hotel sono meravigliosi, la colazione viene servita su una splendida terrazza vista mare... e la vasca in camera è spaziale!

Punti positivi: L'hotel è arredato con gusto, il letto comodo, pulizia impeccabile, personale gentilissimo, location ideale (centrale ma silenziosa). Ottima ed abbondante la colazione servita in terrazza vista oceano. Ci sono già stata in passato e ci ritornerei sicuramente.

Punti negativi: Il servizio wi-fi non funzionava. Puzza di ritorno di fogna in bagno (ma si sa che a Stone Town le fogne sono quel che sono...).

Punti positivi: Ottimo staff posizione pulizia

Punti negativi: Wi-Fi nn sufficiente e nelle camere si moriva di caldo nonostante il rumoroso ventilatore soffitto..,, più che nn piaciuto un suggerimento la colazione ottima ma ripetitiva... nelle camere qualcosa X appendere vestiti.. almeno un paio di sedie esterne x godersi in serata nel giardino la frescura

Punti negativi: Prenoto una stanza doppia con letti singoli mesi prima del mio soggiorno, pensando che per piu' di 100$ dollari a notte avrei dormito bene la mia ultima notte a Zanzibar. Avevo gia' letto nelle recensioni che sarebbe potuta essere stata rumorosa la struttura, per questo nelle note della prenotazione chiedo cortesemente che mi venga assegnata una camera ai piani alti, possibilmente rivolta non sulla strada. Quando arrivo mi viene assegnata la camera dietro la reception (quella che di solito e' del personale), piano terra fronte strada. Faccio notare allora la mia richiesta di prenotazione chiedendo un' altra camera. Mi viene subito detto che non c'e' alcuna possibilita' di cambio stanza e che quella e' l' unica che corrisponde al mio tipo di prenotazione, cosa per altro discutibile dato che nelle foto ci sono almeno altre due stanze doppie con letti singoli diversa da quella assegnatami. Ma anche facendo finta che sia come loro dicono, stante la mia nota avrebbero per correttezza potuto avvisarmi all' atto della prenotazione che la stanza era piano terra fronte strada, giusto perche' avevo esplicitamente richiesto piani alti cortile interno e invece no, nessuno mi ha detto niente fino al mio arrivo. Comportamente assai discutibile in termini di correttezza e gentilezza. Essendo la struttura priva di ogni tipo di insonorizzazione acustica capisco subito l' incubo che andro' a vivere perche' il vicolo e' stretto e di passaggio per i mezzi che suonano il clacson ogni secondo, mentre la notte, le luci dei fanali degli scooter entrano nella stanza. Non mi resta che arrendermi al disagio aspettando l'alba per andarmene. Per gli stessi soldi ma anche meno troverete di meglio nei dintorni. P.s. Materasso non comodissimo, tipo vecchio stile a molle, decisamente scarso per una struttura 4 stelle.

Punti positivi: Tutto perfetto.

Punti negativi: Arredamento d'epoca, camera spaziosa e pulita, wifi ottimo, buona e varia colazione.

Punti positivi: This is such a beautiful venue with a unique local flair, super friendly & accommodating staff and great food as well. Rooms are very spacious, comfortable & clean, everything you could ask for. As for Danielle, the new hotel manager, she is such a sweetheart and has quite the life story. Don’t even think about it, you’ve found the perfect place!

Punti positivi: Interesting location, large room, helpful staff.

Punti negativi: AC master control was centralized and turned off during the day making staying in the room extremely uncomfortable, even between breakfast and check-out at 11AM.

Punti positivi: The staff is absolutely lovely and caters to your every wish. The place is absolutely clean and well furnished, so you can relax and enjoy your stay.

Punti positivi: The hotel was a wonderful gem nestled amongst the streets of stone town. Walking distance from the ferry we arrived early and could drop our bags and get information on the city from the really helpful staff. The room was beautifully furnished. Breakfast was plentiful with a wonderful addition of coffee and tea in brought to our room in the morning. We had a fabulous stay.

Punti negativi: Nothing! We had a great stay.

Punti positivi: The stay in Zanzibar Place was incredible. The room was big and comfy, it looks like they thoght about every little detail. The breakfast was absolutly amazing, and the service was excellent. Stay here! You will not regret!

Punti positivi: Presidental suite was really great with perfect view. Swiming pool was clean and have nice quite area around it. Stuff was helpful and smiley. Breakfast also good

Punti negativi: Our bathroom stopper didn't work and we couldn't have a bath. This is only one complaint. I was really looking forward to use it, but I couldn't.

Punti positivi: Struttura in stile arabo veramente affascinante, pulizia eccellente, vista mare sul porto di stone town, non abbiamo usufruito della colazione

Punti positivi: One of the best hotels we've ever been (and we're traveling a lot!). It's a beautiful hotel in the heart of the Stone City. The rooms are amazing! We booked the small suite and we had a nice bathtub and a wooden balcony. The breakfast is beyond expectations. The pool area too! The staff is helpful and kind. We also booked an island tour through the hotel and later we understood that it was a very good deal (50% off than other providers). Thank you Mizingani!

Punti negativi: Everything was great!

Punti positivi: Lo stile architettonico

Punti negativi: La posizione della camera(la vista non era un gran che).

Punti positivi: Posizione bellissima davanti al mare e a due passi dal centro. Albergo affascinante e suggestivo in stile arabo, con bei mobili e bellissima piscina nel cortile interno. Camera all'ultimo piano spaziosa e con una bellissima vista sul mare. Personale molto gentile. Piccolo cestino per la colazione, visto che partivamo molto presto.

Punti positivi: Il punto di forza di questo hotel è sicuramente costitutivo da arredi e struttura. Entri e ti senti nei palazzi antichi che vedi solo nei film. Affascinante! Anche la camera era proprio bella, fronte mare, ampia, luminosa. Biancheria pulita. In una camminata di pochi minuti sei nei vicoli e nel cuore della vecchia Stone Town. In un quarto d’ora (ore 6 del mattino) il taxi prenotato tramite hotel ci ha portati in aeroporto. Avendo il volo al mattino presto, non abbiamo avuto la possibilità di provare la colazione. In compenso al check out ci hanno consegnato un breakfast-box, utile per una colazione in aeroporto dopo la consegna delle valigie.

Punti negativi: Forse il materasso del letto un po’ sfondato in mezzo

Punti positivi: Albergo molto tipico e bello. Ottima la posizione.

Punti negativi: Purtroppo la sera che sono arrivato non funzionava l'acqua calda in camera. Non hanno ritenuto di cambiarmi la camera. Ho dovuto fare la doccia nel bagno della piscina. La camera me l'hanno cambiata solo il giorno successivo...
