Sansibar hotellit lähellä Stone Town Beach

Plussat: Well places And pleasant

Plussat: Lovely clean and beautiful large suite.

Miinukset: I could not charge my iPhone with any USB port in my big and expensive suite ... not good I wait some gift or decorations for our anniversary and they promised by mail but they did nothing

Plussat: Overall, the property is stunning, the service is spectacular, the food is great. The location is super central. The gym is pretty solid as well.

Miinukset: Our first room didn't have working AC. They moved us the second night, but overall, I found that to be non-negotiable. They didn't really remediate the situation aside from moving us the second night. The AC in the gym also wasn't really working. So the gym was....pleasantly warm (to say the least). I also found it to be a bit steep at $500+ a night for when we were staying there.....

Plussat: Magnificent hotel staff and facilities are exceptional

Plussat: Situated in what seems to be a former royal palace, this hotel gives you a glimpse of history, overlooking the sea. Simply breathtaking sunsets

Plussat: The location is very nice and the people are very nice.

Miinukset: The reception is not organized, we asked for an airport pick up a couple of days before arrival and gave them all the details through phone because no one answered our email , i called to confirm the pick up on the day of the arrival and apparently they never booked anything but they found a car and sent it to us on time. The second time , i gave them personally the information for a second airport pick up and when i called the day of the pick up to confirm, they said they didnt book anything AND they hv no car available for pick up !!! The beach gets really noisy at night . For this price i would rather go to Melia Hotel for better service and beach !

Plussat: 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

Plussat: Environment Location Property

Miinukset: Short stay

Plussat: Comfortable and clean hotel with friendly team there.

Miinukset: No beach. So needed to take an hour taxi to reach beaches. Was not clear in hotel advertising. They are by the ocean but a public beach with no beach facilities or swimmable.

Plussat: Reception staff, pool, views and location all excellent.

Miinukset: We arrived for breakfast at 9.30am, it finished at 10.00am. However, we requested coffee and were abruptly told it had run out. Seemed odd. Also shower head wasn't great.

Plussat: Right next to the ferry terminal and the evening foodmarket.

Miinukset: A little wore down but it is an really old building, a lot of carisma.

Plussat: The location for stone town was excellent. The bed was very comfortable and bathroom was very clean and changed each day. The aircon was powerful and kept everything nice and cool. The evening meal was good but service slow. The breakfast selection was reasonable and the fruit excellent.

Miinukset: We arranged a pick-up from the airport but the driver didn't show up. Then when we arrived we had to wait 2 hours for our room though we did arrive early but the hotel knew this in advance. However we were able to use the swimming pool and facilities whilst waiting. Get to breakfast early as when things ran out they were not replaced. There was only one pot of jam and peanut butter picked over by all guests at breakfast. The toaster was extremely slow. No alcohol is served and consumption is prohibited. Only main restaurants and bars in stone town served any alcohol and there were no shops to buy it from so best bring some with you from the airport if you want a nightly tipple. The chairs on the balcony were very low and you couldn't therefore enjoy the view easily when sat down.

Plussat: Exceptional service and a beautiful hotel.

Plussat: Great position on the waterfront close to the boats to Prison Island. The room was comfy with well functioning A/C and a lovely balcony.

Miinukset: Quite a lot of mosquitoes close to the swimming pool. Rooms are a bit dark. Mosque nearby so we were awaken 5am in the morning.

Plussat: Upon arrival I was surprised to see the traditional architecture of the building both inside and out which is to be expected . Despite this staff maintained and kept the place clean and in good condition . In prime location and you can literally walk to everything . Staff are helpful and always ready to assist with requests . Big shout out to msellem who was very accommodation and spoke excellent English

Miinukset: My only issue was I felt as though the sheets felt damp which was strange as though they had not dried properly which made it difficult to sleep .

Plussat: Great breakfast and lovely rooms. Right on the seafront and staff were brilliant!

Miinukset: As a solo travelling female I found walking around stonetown not particularly pleasant, especially at night. Nothing to do with the hotel though!

Plussat: Great pool, lovely common interiors. The staff were very friendly and very helpful in organising taxis/ tours/ recommending restaurants etc.

Miinukset: The bed was soft and creaky. Breakfast was average.

Plussat: Hienosti vanhasta arabialaistyylisesta rakennuksesta tehty hotelli, yksityiskohdat vanhaa kunnioittaen. Pittoreski tunnelma, suosittelen. Sijainti melkein satamassa, ei tarvitse taksia jos tulee lautalla Darista.

Miinukset: WiFin kirjautuminen ei onnistunut kaikilla puhelimilla. Ongelma ei ollut ilmeisesti uniikki, koska respan nuoret miehet tiesivat heti neuvoa tavan kiertaa se jakamalla yhteys bluetoothin yli toisesta laitteesta jolla kirjautuminen onnistui. Muuten kaikki toimi kuten pitaakin.

Plussat: Upeasti vanhaa kunnioittaen hotelliksi muutettu vanha (ilmeisesti jonkun varakkaan kauppiassuvun) talo aivan sataman vieressä. Jos tulet Dar es Salaamista Kilimanjaro lautalla, tämä on vain sadan metrin päässä terminaalista. Hotellissa avulias ja ystävällinen henkilökunta, hyvä aamiainen ja kaikki turistipyydykset kivenheiton päässä, samalla kun huoneet ja allasalue ovat erittäin rauhallisia.

Miinukset: Hotellin WiFiin ei pystynyt kirjautumaan kaikilla puhelimilla (vaikka kaikki olivat uudehkoja Androideja). Ongelma ei ilmeisesti ollut aivan uusi, sillä respan nuoret miehet osasivat neuvoa kiertämään ongelman jakamalla WiFi puhelimesta toiseen bluetoothilla. Ongelma pitäisi kuitenkin korjata eikä kiertää.

Plussat: The room was comfortable and a good size for me as a solo traveler. The staff were very helpful and friendly, and I was able to book several excursions through the reception desk. I also liked having the cafe available for meals, and the breakfast buffet upstairs.

Miinukset: The location was fine, but I would have liked to be slightly closer to the center of Stone Town.

Plussat: The breakfast was really good and one morning we slept in and missed the breakfast time slot by an hour and they still kindly accommodate us with what we wanted to eat.

Plussat: Location is good, close to everything - within walking distance. Staff is extra helpful and nice. Room is basic but comfy, air conditioning is a very nice addition too.

Plussat: We only stayed for one night before going to the airport early in the morning. The staff was really helpful with everything, they even packed us an early breakfast since we left early. The rooms are nicely furnished and clean. There's a nice restaurant downstairs too. Definitely can recommend this place.

Miinukset: Location, it's less than 10 min walk to the city center, but it's near the port and the area at night might be sketchy though we didn't experience any problems when we walked late at night.

Plussat: Everything was really nice. Breakfast was really good. Only problem was very low water pressure in shower.

Miinukset: Water pressure in shower was really low.

Plussat: Great breakfast on rooftop!

Plussat: Erittäin ystävällistä henkilökuntaa. Hyvä aamiainen sekä sänky ja pyynyt.

Miinukset: Katumelu illasta ja aikaisesta aamusta lyhensi yöunia.

Plussat: Friendly staff, central location, basic but nice breakfast. Great coffee!

Miinukset: Didn't get picked up from the airport (after double confirmation!). Bathroom did not have a door, ours had only a saloon-type door that didn't even close properly. Room didn't have balcony as was advertised and booked, management did not budge at all on this (apparenlty this happens more often...). Very central location but slightly noisy. Photos make it look like more than it is...

Plussat: The breakfast on the rooftop was great. The best breakfast we had in Sansibar. Great cappuccino. The very nice stuff makes the stay really comfortable. Air condition works perfect. Not very noisy even though the room was to a big road. Nice shower. Very nice concept with a store and coffee place.

Plussat: Nice place, well located with great staff. Thanks

Plussat: Everything was perfect

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Erinomainen sijainti Stone Townissa. Kohtalainen aamiainen ja melko hyvä internet. Mielenkiintoinen ja kodikas sisustus.

Miinukset: Kapeiden kujakatujen vuoksi taksi ei pääse ihan perille saakka.

Plussat: Very beautiful room on the rooftop with a nice view over Stonetown. Close to everything, but not right in the middle of it. Good breakfast and very friendly staff.

Plussat: very Friendly staff in a great location right in stone town

Miinukset: nothing

Plussat: I loved the decor in the hallways and the bedrooms. It has a great atmosphere

Miinukset: I loved everything about dhow palace hotel - i did however thinkmit could have been a bit cleaner. I think the bathroom in our room needs a bit of work especially on the ceiling

Plussat: Right in the middle of Stone Town, and with charming architecture. Large rooms.

Plussat: The staff was very helpful and kind.Great location,good breakfast. We will surely return!

Miinukset: Everything was great.

Plussat: This is a very unique and beautiful hotel...They take care of a lot of little details. I believe it was a little pricey - but it was also during the holiday season. Some nickel and diing- too much for taxis and so forth - ut a kind and attentive staff.

Plussat: The staff were superb! Special mention to Maryam who served us food on several occasions. She was extremely friendly and attentive! The food in the restaurant was amazing, especially the lobster and chocolate fondant cake! The receptionists were very helpful as well, organizing transfers and tours and even a little takeaway breakfast for our early flight! Location is perfect right in the center of stone town! Everything is within walking distance! Couldn’t recommend this hotel enough! Bonus points for the cute Christmas tree at reception

Miinukset: Tv wasn’t working but didn’t really bother us as we were busy exploring for the few days. Didn’t ask for help at reception either so maybe there was something we weren’t doing right! No big deal in any case!

Plussat: Good location in a pleasant green square near the sea. Easy walking distance to most attractions in Stonetown. Coconut crab soup is amazing and housekeeping staff were excellent in attending to issues.

Miinukset: We booked 2x superior double rooms but were given one very poky double that was anything but superior and had a major hygiene issue. Thankfully the staff took this seriously and we were given the second superior double for nights 2-3. When asked upon paying the bill how they would rectify the substandard first night, we were told that we had been upgraded (we hadn't, we just got the room we had paid for) and had accepted a complimentary massage as compensation. Breakfast service is painfully slow and instant coffee provided is dreadful (how embarrassing, in Africa's third largest coffee-producing country), unless you opt to pay extra for real coffee. Experience here depends greatly on the room you get, as there are some spacious, well appointed rooms, and others that are not fit for travelling salesmen and/or have maintenance issues.

Plussat: The location is great and the staff is very friendly. The hotel is nicely decorated. I would not stay longer than 1night in Stone Town as there was not much to do.

Miinukset: The AC was not cold. However, as we were checking out, the front desk made a note about it.

Plussat: The best breakfast on Zanzibar! Very nice that they take the effort to give you a bit extra in the morning.

Miinukset: We didn't have a view outside the window ; just the roof of an other building. On the roof of our building was some kind of generator which made a hell of a noise in the middle of the night.

Plussat: Nice building and location.

Miinukset: The room had a strong smell of mould. It was advertised as 33 m² but was not more than 11 m². There was barely room to get into the bed on either side of the single bed. The room was advertised as having a double bed. Since my night there, I have had a persistent chronic cough.

Plussat: Hyvä aamiainen, hyvä huone ilmastoinnilla, iso huone, superior huone

Plussat: Location is just perfect. The neighborhood is quite and also 5 min walking distance to everywhere like Mercury’s house, night market, prison island boats,nice restaurants... Kind and helpful staff. It is clean enough and has AC in the room (not AC in the bathroom like any other hotels in Zanzibar) (please consider that you are in Zanzibar not in Japan or USA) Every country has its own dynamics. Breakfast is good, you can get fruits, omelette and sausage , bread basket and fresh fruit juices. AND the plastic bags are not allowed in this island so don’t forget to bring your own shopping bag to carry souvenirs or water bottles... Recommended !

Plussat: Location and versatility to late check out. The bed was very comfy.

Miinukset: Small room. The fan doesn't refresh properly the room. For a 4 stars hotel we expected a better breakfast and facilities!

Plussat: Wonderful location. Almost every significant sight is located pretty close to the place. Hilton and Hyatt are almost in the next buildings, and it means a lot. we really enjoyed the ambience and the staff :) Very welcoming and nice people.

Miinukset: Breakfast could have been better. In case of a night rain be ready to hear the rattle of thin metal sheet from every drop. Very loud and noisy - these words are not even close to what is sounds in real life :)

Plussat: The room was spacious, very nice.

Miinukset: Restaurant can be improved.

Plussat: Good location. Clean and nice room. Small bed.

Miinukset: We booked room for 2 adults and a child 3 years old... in the room there was only one bed. Nothing was made when I asked... cause there were no additional beds in the hotel. Very uncomfortable to have no sleeping place. One person slept on the floor.

Plussat: Friendly staff, clean room, aircon and location in stone town. Definitely a place I recommend to stay on whilst in stone town. Close to the beach, good breakfast.

Plussat: Our stay in Seyyida hotel was great. The hotel is very nicely decorated in African style and it is very clean. The only issue we had was that the room ac was just above the bed, and room was near terace where guests eat, so we could hear noise (not very loud). We mentioned that at the reception and were promptly given another room. Also, as honeymooners, we were given a free couples massage which was a very nice surprise. We would definitely recommend this place and would gladly return.

Plussat: Great location next to the port, Forodhani gardens and night market and the old city, everything within walking distance. Airport transfer was arranged at additional cost picked us up from the airport. Very clean, great breakfast, friendly staff. The pool is also a bonus to chill out during hot days.

Plussat: Lovely breakfast! Lovely views. Awesome location.
