Park Hyatt Zanzibar
4.6/575 Reviews

Park Hyatt Zanzibar

Stone Town|0.41km from Forodhani Gardens
One night in a quick three-day trip to Zanzibar. Wished I could have stayed longer at the Park Hyatt. I had an ocean view room. Great view, quiet location, could hear the quiet sounds of the waves at night, even though closed doors. Great food, good facilities, excellent overall experience.
Zanzibar Serena Hotel
4.4/565 Reviews

Zanzibar Serena Hotel

Stone Town|0.49km from Forodhani Gardens
Lovely hotel with pool right alongside the beach. In the perfect position for walking to the old part of town, restaurants and shops. Other guests warned us to order poolside drinks and food 45 mins before we wanted it... Orders were invariably very slow, wrong or not served together. It was quite comical, but you just have to relax and change gear!

Maru Maru Hotel

Stone Town|0.16km from Forodhani Gardens
Great place in stonetown, Zanzibar. Lovely rooms, with clean, well equipped washrooms. Small but nice rooftop pool, great breakfast buffet with an excellent fresh fruit selection and good location- close to the ferry stations and to the night market. Only complaint is the live music at the rooftop restaurant. It’s loud and distracting from an otherwise great experience. I hope to stay here again!

Forodhani Park Hotel
4/532 Reviews

Forodhani Park Hotel

Stone Town|0.18km from Forodhani Gardens
Im a tour operator who fell for the star rating of this hotel - Forodhani Park is advertised on all platforms as a 4 * hotel , but its a 3 * in reality - with stained flooring , mildewed smelling rooms , fridges not maintained and smelly , and avery average breakfast . I booked 15 people at this hotel for 2 nights thinking it was a 4 * hotel . They were most unhappy and dissatisfied with the service and rooms . The receptionist said he could do nothing about the situation , and the hotel manager refused to show up at the hotel for the 2 full days that we were at the hotel . The location was not bad , but we were clearly short changed and fooled by this hotel management obviously only so that they could charge us a higher 4 * rate . Almost like thievery and dishonesty .

The Seyyida Hotel and Spa
4.2/552 Reviews

The Seyyida Hotel and Spa

Stone Town|0.22km from Forodhani Gardens
I traveled to Zanzibar after climbing Kilimanjaro this past July and decided to stay at The Seyyida. I had originally booked this trip for 2020 but we all know how that story ended…The staff at The Seyyida were generous enough to move my booking to 2021, andddd then again to 2022 when my trekking group postponed the trip a second time (still due to Covid). The hotel itself is beautiful. I had a room with a ocean view and I felt like royalty. The bed was HUGE, the bathroom lovely, and the balcony (albeit small) offered a *STUNNING* view. They offer to spray mosquito repellent every night and, although I do highly recommend taking them up on this offer, it does have quite a lingering smell. So plan to be out of your room for dinner or a tour for a couple of hours. The rooftop restaurant is beautiful and offers an amazing view of the city and ocean. The hotel staff was nothing short of amazing. When my hair dryer broke, they found me another. When I needed more towels, they brought me them immediately. When my driver never showed up for a a tour I had booked, they arranged for a new tour and a driver was there in 5min. They mailed a postcard for me when I asked where the bearer post office was! They let me leave my suitcases there after I checked out because my ferry wasn’t until the afternoon—and they even helped me carry my *very* large duffel (from climbing the mountain) all the way to the ferry!!! I also had an amazing massage here on a rainy day when I wasn’t sure what to fill my day with. The front lobby is unreachable by car, but it is perfectly located, and quick/easy by foot to meet a driver on the road. Within walking distance of so much. I didn’t use the pool, but it looked lovely as well. It’s not very big, but big enough to sit and relax. Cannot speak highly enough about the wonderful front desk workers (and all other staff) and this beautiful place.

Madinat Al Bahr Business & Spa Hotel

Madinat Al Bahr Business & Spa Hotel

4.1/565 Reviews
Excellent hotel in great location We used TA to choose hotel for our stay in Zanzibar as we were unsure in what location on the island to base ourselves As it worked out we were very pleased that we chose the Medinat Al Bahrain as our base. Excellent hotel, very quiet - in fact sometimes we felt as if we had the place to ourselves. Good food, great buffet breakfast and two restaurants to choose from on site. Conveniently located not far from airport especially after long connecting flight via Dubai ($10 cab fare) and same distance into Stonetown ($10 cab fare) Small public beach attached to hotel and a nice restaurant (Wooden Table) 100yds along beach After experiencing Stonetown we were glad that we stayed slightly out as the town is very busy and some hotels we first looked at could be hard to find down inaccessible (by vehicle) alleys. We did visit on a couple of occasions to do the walking tour and restaurants (Cape Town Fish Market - see separate review) - again location of hotel made visiting easy and there were a number of restaurants/bars that we could also have visited given the time. The hotel was also a good base for visiting other parts of the island which we did through Alsa Tours Zanzibar (reviewed separately) Issa (the concierge) arranged for us to meet Abdul (the owner) from Alsa Tours at the hotel who was our guide/driver for the tours that we did - prices were good and very competitive with other tour operators and more personal as tours in most cases were private We did (all reviewed separately): The North - Turtle Sanctuary/Kendra beach West - Spice Farm/Prison Island/Walking tour of Stonetown East - Butterfly Sanctuary/Jozani Forest/The Rock Restaurant South East - Safari Blue - boat trip/snorkelling/beach bbq Would say that the hotel was a great choice hotel was maticulously clean and the staff always friendly helpful and accommodating which made for a perfect stay Would highly recommend to any travellers to Zanzibar
Golden Palm Boutique Zanzibar

Golden Palm Boutique Zanzibar

3.9/544 Reviews
Hotel is in the isolated area very quiet, I stayed in the room 101 (King Room with Sea View) which is one of the best and largest room in this hotel. The room was beautiful, with good furniture, very clean and lovely view from indoor and outdoor. Unfortunately, it’s appeared that there’s no quality control in the rooms particularly this room mainly bathroom, in the shower area there is no place to keep a soap (no soap holder), while taking shower you have to keep soap down the floor with full of water because water are moving slowly to the drainage. Towels are disgusting looks like not for this hotel standard, very old towels a lot of stains etc. (see the pictures) me and my wife feel very irritating using them. At night Air Condition cooling was another nightmare (we didn’t get a good sleep at all) one small AC covering the entire area of this large room, beside that cannot reduce the AC temperature below 20% C. (on the bed side was too hot, cooling was above 26% C). If these three negative points can be improved then I take into account that this boutique hotel can be excellent
Dreams Hotel Zanzibar

Dreams Hotel Zanzibar

3.3/54 Reviews
We spent a beautiful stay at DOZ from August 29 to September 10 2019.nous We were very welcome. We recommend the different restaurants that you eat very well. The hotel is excellent, staff are always at the small care on the beach, breakfast, dinner and always with a smile. Cocktails are very good. Zanzibar is a beautiful country where there are very beautiful beaches. We will return there without waiting for too long before a mass tourism that risks degrading the image of this beautiful country. Thank you again to Mwinyi and the staff of the DOZ.

Hotel Verde Zanzibar - Azam Luxury Resort and Spa

Hotel Verde Zanzibar - Azam Luxury Resort and Spa

4.3/572 Reviews
Great service from staff. Stayed at Verde for 4 days and the entire experience was genuinely like nothing I have experienced before in my life. Watching the sunset from a balcony with a view of the docked ships and boats was a particular highlight as was swimming in the warm waters of the Indian Ocean. As for waiting staff, Leticia and Hidaya in particular were very helpful.
