If you are going to Stonetown the Emmerson Spice is a must, the rooms are from another era with unique architecture & decor
The rooftop breakfast is amazing with the best fruit platter & great views
The Secret Garden Resturant serving some mouthwatering local dishes ,pastries and don’t miss out on the Hibiscus flavored drinks

Guest UserThe location is excellent, very convenient for getting to Stone Town. The hotel has a perfect view, right by the sea. The service is excellent. The hotel organizes walks in Stone Town, but unfortunately, I didn't have time to participate.

Room, Balcony, View from the room and Restaurant is really nice. But only one thing they need to improve in their reception customer service.
Room I signed when I check in and Room I really received was different. They changed the room without notice. I asked why they said it's same room inside. But it was totally different. Changed room has no privacy at all. We have to close the window during the stay.
And I asked for late check out when I check in. They told me to check last day in the morning. In last day, I asked again for 2hrs late check out. They refused my request even didn't check the system. Just say NO. I am very disappointed with their attitude. And when I checked the site there were plenty room left.
As everyone knows Zanzibar is the holiday place. Most of 5 star hotels in holiday place, they run check out time very flexible due to flight time. No deserve to have 5 stars in customer service.

The location is at the quiet side if the Stone Town. Due to it is situated inside a small alley, the directions could be quite complicated and we were lost several times to head back to the hotel. Despite being assured that it's safe, we were tapped by few mischievous children when we passed by a school near the hotel. That said, the room and hotel itself was great. We particularly enjoyed the breeze at the open air loft, where we could view the sea and ships from far away. It was indeed relaxing. The historical bed and bath in the room made the experience so unique. The only downside was there was insufficient of hot water for the bath. The breakfast wise was in fact the best we had in Tanzania, not to mention the impeccable hospitality provided by the staff there. Special shout out to the helpful staff who assisted us with our luggage during check in and out. Bear in mind on the steep staircase up to the room and inside the room to the loft. It might not be suitable for those who have knee problem, as you literally need to climb up and down everytime to the washroom. Otherwise, it was quite a memorable stay.

The hotel's location is good, in Stone Town, convenient for getting around. The room was a special offer, in a side building, quite small, and without an elevator. Service was average. These are all acceptable.
The most outrageous thing was that the hotel fan snapped the mosquito net off at night! Then the metal chain connecting the net was also torn off! It was very dangerous when it was thrown out.
We immediately called the front desk to explain the situation, but they just sent someone to remove the net.
The next day at checkout, we told the front desk again. They just gave a perfunctory ”sorry.” No compensation was offered, and no explanation was given!
I will never stay here again, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone else.

Great location in Stonetown. The hotel room was clean and modern. The breakfast buffet was great. Areas for improvement is the average service at the hotel. Room AC wasn’t cooling the room well and front desk said they didn’t have any alternative rooms that night. Plumbing issue was not addressed promptly when brought up with the front desk. All day dining room service ends early 10pm and there are no places to buy any food if you wake up with a case of the munchies

It was a very good stay. Especially the cleanliness of the room. This quality is amazing at this price in the high season. The location is also good and you can walk to the slave museum in about 1 minute.

Lovely hotel, room was very clean and bed was comfortable. Staff were very friendly. My safari was cancelled and the staff provided other tour options, many thanks for that!
There is no phone in the room, I'd like to suggest even having a pager in the room would be helpful. Also no wifi in the room I think that should be an option.
The food was great and I enjoyed my stay, would definitely recommend!

The single room is small but adequate for solo. The decoration is cute. AC is working perfectly but hot water was only warm.
Some tiny flies especially in the shower booth, but they install mosquito net for the bed so not a big problem. Shower booth without a door might make someone feel uncomfortable.
The staffs and atmosphere are welcoming. The location is great. The breakfast is not a big portion but sufficient and delicious.
For the price this place is a good, competitive deal.

Guest UserI recently had the pleasure of staying at Zanzi Hotel, and I must say, it exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel like family, offering warm welcomes and excellent service throughout my stay. The hotel is beautifully designed, blending modern comfort with a touch of local charm, creating a relaxing and inviting atmosphere. My room was spacious, well-equipped, and spotless, with stunning views of the surrounding area.
The amenities are fantastic, from the refreshing pool to the delicious on-site restaurant offering a variety of tasty dishes. What truly stood out was the attention to detail—every little aspect was thoughtfully arranged to ensure a memorable experience.
Zanzi Hotel’s location is also perfect, offering easy access to nearby attractions, making it an ideal base for exploring. Whether you're visiting for business or leisure, I highly recommend Zanzi Hotel for a comfortable, relaxing, and memorable stay!
