"It’s a beautiful property but a lot can be done to improve it .. The food wasn’t very ideal for everyone , can you plz get a chef that can make regular buffet for foreigners please . The WiFi kept going on and off it’s frustrating if you’re in a foreign country . Other than that it’s a beautiful property , great staff just needs to be updated the furniture isn’t stable , the food is not good at all . It’s nice they have an airport shuttle makes it so much easy to get to and from the airport...

Top Zanzibar Town Hotel Reviews

Mizingani Seafront Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Loved this property and the staff. We had a situation with our rental car and they had a staff member walk to where we had parked the car and he actually drove our rental car back to the hotel and then called the guy we rented the car from and asked him to come by the hotel to pick up the car. I think that was above and beyond and we truly appreciated the extra time and help."

Park Hyatt Zanzibar

10/10 Excellent

"Very recommended! Amazing hotel! Great location. Extremely helpful staff!!!"

Hotel Verde Zanzibar - Azam Luxury Resort and Spa - Dry Hotel

8/10 Good

"Hôtel isolé de tout et entrée principale en travaux . Complexe propre et petit déjeuner correct . Dans l ensemble le personnel est accueillant par contre le service de chambre laisse à désiré . Parfois pas de serviette en arrivant le soir car les sales ont été prises mais pas remplacées . Il aura alors fallu plus de 2h et 8 appels pour en obtenir 2 autres alors que nous étions 4 dans la chambre. De même pour l eau. De plus le ménage a duré 2h pour un résultat juste correct . Mais en gros l hôtel est gentil"

Zanzibar Coffee House

10/10 Excellent

"I had a pleasant stay at Zanzibar Coffee House. Excellent service and I really liked my room. The location is a little challenging to get to though. The staff will kindly give you a map. They went above and beyond with breakfast."
