Hoteles en Zanzíbar próximos a Forodhani Gardens

Ventajas: I liked the outlook and size of room. Bed was comfortable and decor was great. Staff made us feel welcome and really helped us enjoy our stay. Spa great and hairdresser too Breakfast and pool a great start to day.

Desventajas: Bathroom. Water didn’t drain in bowl. Shower Tap was too difficult to turn on or off.

Ventajas: Breakfast was a fantastic spread! Many thanks to the general manager Nicholas for going out of his way to make us so comfortable. The staff was fabulous looking after us.

Ventajas: It’s historical significance, architecture, cleanliness, upkeep, good air conditioning and comfortable bed. The room was spacious. The staff were responsive to our needs and recommended things to do in the areas and arranged for it.

Desventajas: Electricity outages were common during our stay but only lasted a minute at a time. Our room did not have hot water.

Ventajas: Excellent location, great restaurant

Desventajas: No hand towel in the main bathroom, only tissues (difficult to wipe wet hands with)

Ventajas: Location

Desventajas: We were promised a bottle of sparkling wine in our room on arrival as it was our honeymoon but this was not provided. No big deal. The service at the bar / restaurant was worst I have ever experienced in a 5 star hotel. 15 minutes between providing the menu and taking our drinks order. Red wine was being kept on ice so it was served ice cold. Our food took ages to arrive and when it did arrive it did not come with any of our side orders. They had forgotten. Side orders were provided 20 minutes after we finished our main meal. The restaurant was not busy. That evening we rang reception to ask about the sparkling wine and were told they would call us back. No response. We inquired on our way out to dinner and were met with a shrug of the shoulders. When we returned from dinner we asked again and they said they would send it to our room immediately. Unless we inquired again, the hotel staff would have continued to simply ignore us. 1 hour later and it still had not arrived to room. We had to call reception again. The next day we asked for some change at the bar as we only had large notes. We were told no. We asked at the reception and again were told no. This is meant to be a $500/night 5 star hotel but yet they could not handle such a simple request. We had a drink that night in the bar and ordered two glasses of red wine. 6 times the waiter returned to our table to confirm the order. Eventually he advised that the wine was not available so we ordered different wine. Again the red wine was served ice cold despite the hotels website boasting of their prestigious sommeliers. The robes in the room were torn and there was blood on the moaquito net around the bed. Despite all of the above, it is a beautiful hotel in an excellent location with spectacular views. Sadly the service is poor or maybe we simply weren't important enough guests as staff seemed to swarm to certain guests. It may be the most expensive hotel in stone town but definitely not the best.

Ventajas: Thank you for the birthday surprise cake. It was much appreciated.

Desventajas: Bed making needs improvement. There needs to be two sheets (linen) a fitted and flat sheet

Ventajas: Amazing location, highly recommended if staying in stone town.

Ventajas: The staff were very good and took a lot of time to get to know us and make us feel comfortable, especially our 8 year old granddaughter. The room was very well appointed (junior suite) with loads of storage space. The food was a nice mix of local and international style and fairly priced. Fabulous sunsets over the sea from our balcony.

Desventajas: TV remote and bathroom scales needed batteries and obviously hadn’t been checked before new guests arrived. TV choice very limited. Small problem with lighting that wouldn’t switch off too, though this was rectified when reported. So just a few small niggly things that shouldn’t really happen at the price level.

Desventajas: The price is high for the rooms

Ventajas: The hotel is beautiful. We had an ocean view and kept the door open all night and it was simply stunning. We woke to the local women doing bootcamp on the beach in their hijabs and it was delightful. The management were exceptional and introduced themselves individually to us in case we needed anything. When we wanted to send some of our belongings back to Australia they were so helpful. We loved the pool area and after 2 weeks on safari, we adored this hotel. It gave us the refreshment we needed to travel on to Egypt.

Desventajas: The bar staff were so slow! Over an hour to get a Margherita at the pool is ridiculous and beers always arrived warm. However a local from Dar gave us a great tip - ask for an ice bucket with your beer and all will be fine.

Ventajas: Nos alojamos 2 noches en una habitación superior con un precioso balcón con vistas al Índico (habitación 3306). El hotel se encuentra aproximadamente a 300 metros de la que fuera la casa en donde vivió Freddy Mercury, hoy transformada en hotel. La decoración y mobiliario de las habitaciones, del lobby y del restaurante son realmente preciosos. La habitación es muy amplia y acogedora, bella y cálidamente decorada, con todo lo necesario para sentirse muy cómodo. La cama, la almohada y la ropa de cama es de muy buena calidad y excelente estado de conservación y limpieza. En la piscina hay varias reposteras y proveen de toallas. La piscina no tiene agua climatizada, pero le da el sol desde la mañana hasta la puesta de sol, por lo que no la encontré fría, a pesar de estar en el mes de julio. La puesta de sol es increíble verla desde la piscina. El desayuno es muy variado y de excelente calidad (destaco los quesos, frutos secos, mermeladas y panes). A la hora del almuerzo y cena, se puede optar por el restaurante del hotel (en el mismo espacio físico en que se sirve el desayuno), tanto en la terraza como en el interior. La comida en ambos casos (almuerzo y cena) nos pareció deliciosa, con buena opción de bebidas. El personal es muy amable.

Desventajas: Nada. Realmente fue una estadía magnífica

Ventajas: La ubicación del hotel es excelente, delante de la playa y con unas vistas excepcionales y muy bien ubicado para moverte por Stone Town.. La habitación era grande, con vistas al mar y muy confortable. El desayuno era variado y delicioso.

Desventajas: A llegada tuvimos que esperar más de lo debido para realizar el chek-in. Había un par de mostradores pero sólo uno estaba en servicio. Nos llamó la atención en un hotel de esta categoría.

Ventajas: Las camas son grandes, limpias y cómodas, la habitación es espaciosa, el wifi es estupendo, la nevera en la habitación, una recepción de televisión excelente con muchos canales

Desventajas: No tuvimos agua caliente el primer día. Lo arreglaron el segundo, pero la presión del agua no era muy buena- no tengo pelo espeso y tardé un rato en aclarar el champú... Está apartado de la carretera, así que necesitas ayuda con tus maletas y la comida en el restaurante es limitada y los precios son altos. Mejor desayuno en el Serena

Ventajas: Beautiful and clean hotel, very friendly staff, great location. The beach is a 2 min walk. Breakfast is great.

Ventajas: Location and breakfast

Desventajas: Toilets were stinking .

Ventajas: The location.

Desventajas: A disappointing stay after 3 weeks in Tanzania. Reception area is small and pokey with little room to move around and tight seating. Hallways are dark. Rooms have no views. This is not a good hotel for tourists. The better rooms and service went to the large corporate customers like the aircraft flight staff that stay there. We saw and visited much nicer hotels in the area where tourists were treated as their first priority.

Ventajas: 100% recomendable

Ventajas: Tuvimos que salir muy pronto para el aeropuerto y nos dieron un desayuno "para llevar" muy bueno.

Desventajas: Me parecio escaso el gel/shampoo que había en el ducha. Deberían poner el doble de cantidad.

Ventajas: Great location and service.

Ventajas: Great Location! Literally in walking distance to everything in a very safe quiet area of Stonetown. Great little gym and mini fridge in the room. The staff at this hotel are so amazing!

Desventajas: The wifi was awful :(

Ventajas: Good staff, clean & location is nice

Desventajas: Nothing

Ventajas: Very nice breakfast with a variety of choices from omelets to exotic fruits and veggies. The short bananas were a real treat.

Desventajas: The prices for excursions booked by the hotel.

Ventajas: Location and friendly staff. Good shower, large bath towels, clean, and great location. Laundry service great.

Desventajas: We could hear noise coming from restaurant above us at times but not too bad. Recommend a floor maybe other than the 4th floor. 405.

Ventajas: The location is very good, not far from the airport. You can shop around Stone Town, take a walk at the night market and taste the food, as well as enjoy a delicious meal in the restaurant. It is recommended to stay here.

Desventajas: The breakfast variety is not rich enough and the service can be done better.

Ventajas: Muy bien las piezas

Desventajas: Pesima comida Muy caro para lo que ofrecen

Ventajas: Very accommodating with an early check in. Room was great and staff very friendly.

Desventajas: Breakfast and breakfast service wasn’t that great.

Ventajas: Good location and great historical decor. Friendly staff. Nice pool.

Desventajas: Had to wait a long time for hot water, and then it was impossible to balance with the cold to get the right temperature. The air conditioner started to leak. One of the two balcony doors did not have curtains. Breakfast was not up to expectations at all - much of the food was not topped up when it was empty.

Ventajas: La atención del personal, la decoración de las zonas comunes, la terraza del restaurante

Desventajas: Recargo por pagar con tarjeta de crédito

Ventajas: This place was amazing. Everything was perfect. Massive/spacious rooms with a beautiful Moroccan vibe decor. Comfortable beds and good bathroom. Breakfast also had a great selection with perfect view of the ocean. Good location. We also got early check in which was great after a flight. Even the pool was amazing.

Desventajas: Nothing!

Ventajas: Location and the livingstone room. The pool.

Ventajas: La decoración y la arquitectura del edificio

Desventajas: Variedad en el desayuno

Ventajas: Staff, location and very clean rooms

Ventajas: great location. Breakfast on the veranda watching the bustle of traditional Dhows & cargo ships start their day.

Desventajas: Elevator was temperamental.

Ventajas: The staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was plentiful with many options and the view and location was perfect!

Ventajas: We liked in particular: - The historical character of Mizingani Hotel - it feels a little bit like travelling into past - The Service was outstanding, everyone was extremely nice and helpful - we werealso allowed to stay at the hotel the whole day after check-out because our flight was in the evening - The Junior Lounge is very spacious - The location is great, nice sea view and only 2min away from Forodhani Gardens

Desventajas: Some parts of the hotel must be renovated sooner or later.

Ventajas: Amazingly friendly and helpful staff. Great ambience -- the place has atmosphere to spare. Views, either of the seafront or of the medina behind. Awesome breakfast, with a range of hot dishes and local pastries, as well as omelettes on demand. Location: especially for the evening, you almost can't get better than this. Next door to the Dhow Country Music Academy, across the street from Mercury's Bar and a short walk from the night market. Unlike within the medina, taxis can drive you all the way to the front door.

Desventajas: The mattress in the basic room was a bit thin; you could feel the board underneath. Also, the lighting was a bit dim, so it was hard to read at night. (I stayed a second time in one of the presidential suites, which actually didn't cost that much more, and the mattress and lighting were vastly better.) Cleaning staff can be rather boisterous and noisy. They could use a few more of the comfortable reclining chairs in the pool area. On my first stay, there were only two, which an older couple basically claimed for the entire day. On my second stay, there were 4 chairs, which was better. (There are tons of other chairs and couches, but these are stiff-backed, ramrod-straight and upholstered, so you don't really feel comfortable sitting in them in a wet swimsuit.)

Ventajas: The style! Also great location from the ferry

Desventajas: Nothing!

Ventajas: Ubicación y personal

Ventajas: Ubicacion, piscina, desayuno, decoración y personal muy amable

Desventajas: Hay detalles que están un poco viejos, pero en general muy buen

Ventajas: The location and stuff was amazing. The food was good too

Desventajas: The value for money was not too good. There was no drinking water available.

Ventajas: The stuff was very helpful. The room was big and clean. The location of the hotel is perfect and very close to stone town. Also it has a nice beach which you can see the prison island clearly.

Ventajas: Right on the beach Breakfast was excellent

Ventajas: My husband , myself and 14 year old son spent 3 nights at Tembo Hotel on first arriving at Zanzibar. This place exceeded all our expectations ! Our hotel room was across the road from the main building in an alley and it wax wonderful. We had 3 massive beds in a massive room. At night the streets were quiet and we felt 100% safe. The hotel is exceptionally clean and food very good and very good value for money. The pool at the hotel is lovely especially as you shouldn't swim in the sea water in StoneTown ( although beautiful ..due to sewerage running into the ocean. We were centrally located to take an easy trip to Prison Island (we booked online but don't bother doing that you can just book at hotel ...also book at hotel for anything else) We did a walking tour to stonetown including market and it was wonderful. Sometimes it rained a bit which was refreshing! We also loved walking to the little market just a few meters from the hotel. The hotel doesn't serve alcohol but you can have a nice beer on the beach directly next door ! There is an ATM just down the road from Tembo hotel. Make sure to draw cash there before you move on. Our wonderful find of Mama Mia just down the road from Tembo made the best coffee and sold the best Italian ice cream . I loved everything about Tembo Hotel and will definitely go back. Its so central we could easily see all is to see before we went off to the Beach resort for 4 nights ( kwenda rocks,,, beach bungalow!!) where we could just chill. I wouldn't want to travel from that side to Stonetown. There are other weird looking hotels. Defintely stay at TEMBBO !! Book shuttles through hotel ! there are some dodgy taxis who promises to take you somewhere at a cheap rate and once you get in the taxi they say it is further and more expensive. So book through the hotel ! They refer you to trusted drivers Enjoy !

Desventajas: Everything was wonderful

Ventajas: Hotel by the sea, nice and clean room, friendly staff. The breakfast is varied and tasteful. I'll be back

Desventajas: The WIFI connection is not always reliable and the rooms on the ground floor, in front of the pool and restaurant must be rather noisy. Ask for a room on 1st or 2nd floor.

Ventajas: We stayed at the Freddie mercury apartment. The building is a little away from the main hotel and apartments. Would recommend staying at the hotel over the apartments. The feel is better.

Ventajas: Breakfast was excellent! Location is perfect to explore Stone Town. Staff were very helpful and friendly.

Desventajas: You can’t buy alcohol at the restaurant or anywhere at hotel. The coffee wasn’t good at all.

Ventajas: El edificio principal es uno de los más bonitos de Stone Town. El desayuno muy completo y variado. Personal muy amable.

Desventajas: La cama de la habitación doble es bastante incómoda.

Ventajas: Great beachfront location in Stone Town. Fantastic for watching the sunsets and people walking by and all the boats.

Ventajas: Perfect location. This hotel has the best of the two worlds, located on the beach and in the middle of stone town. It is a walking distance from everything: historical sites, restaurants and bars. .The rooms and the building have an authentic style, a genuine taste of Zanzibar and its history. Many thanks to all staff members who were welcoming, helpful and attentive.

Desventajas: Nothing

Ventajas: Homely feel, very friendly staff. Just never wanted to leave the hotel. The breakfast chef is amazing and best waiter is Izaka!!

Desventajas: Firm up the beds

Ventajas: Best location for exploring the Stone Town on foot. Clean, comfortable, good friendly service and reasonably-priced. Good mix of Zanzibari/Western breakfast. We didn't try their lunch and dinner menu, but it looked okay.

Desventajas: They need to put dampers on the feet of their furniture. If there is a floor above you, every movement of furniture above you makes a horrendous noise below.

Ventajas: El personal, limpieza, ubicación, la terraza con la piscina, el gimnasio y las facilidades para todo. Segunda vez que voy y genial.

Desventajas: Lo que menos me gusta es la comida, la cocina no es mala pero sí mejorable

Ventajas: Location of Hotel. Good Indian food. Service of the staff.

Desventajas: I believe it is slightly expensive.

Ventajas: The welcome drink and cold towel during check in was much appreciated. The rooms were clean. The Indian food was great. The Chefs were great as they came to enquire how the food was and were very helpful in helping us what to order.

Desventajas: The Wi-Fi password was per device.

Ventajas: Sunsets on the rooftop

Desventajas: Place was great

Ventajas: The location of the hotel is great. The hotel is a lovely old building with surprisingly spacious rooms and good firm beds and pillows. The staff (with the exception of Reception) were helpful and friendly. The restaurant food was good (other than the gobi manchurian, which was awful) and the service was mainly prompt and efficient.

Desventajas: Our experience with Reception was uniformly poor. We had booked a car to meet our plane, but it didn’t arrive. We got a cab. When I showed Reception their confirmation email, she said that the person who sent it had left - then took a photocopy. She quoted a rate for the room which was higher than the booking.com confirmation. I showed her the confirmation - she took a photocopy and charged us the lower rate, but with a whooping 4% surcharge for using a debit card! When the eftpos machine finally worked (on the 4th attempt) it chewed up the merchant copy. She asked if they could keep the customer copy. We said no - so she took a photocopy, which the Manager then insisted we sign. We asked if they could change some money - she said no, but gave us (incorrect) directions to the nearest bank. We asked if they would need to see our passports and she said no - also incorrect, they needed the passports....

Ventajas: Nice view from the terase. Rich breakfast. Clean room.

Desventajas: We ordered the child´s bed and it wasnt prepared. I send there many emails about this and without any answer. I asked many times to transfer us from the airport to the hotel and anybody answer neither. I asked many times about our early check-in at 5 am and nobody answered, eventhough I kept sending emails from different email addresses. So - administation was very very poor!!!

Ventajas: Every thing you just mention it. Mr. Babu was very helpful and friendly not to me only but to all.

Desventajas: I didn't like to leave the hotel and continue our 5 remaining days, but we had to move to another hotel where our relatives were staying in.

Ventajas: Todo excelente. Ubicación céntrica, desayuno y comida del restaurante excelente con una puesta de sol desde la terraza preciosa. Personal amable. Bonita decoración en la habitación por recién casados!

Desventajas: Todo fue genial.

Ventajas: The staff were not friendly and seemed disinterested. They did things the way they had been told to do it with no thought for customers.

Desventajas: I didnt like that i booked big room and they give us different rooms as per available not as per booked twice i got different room as per available not booked in booking

Ventajas: The location is perfect. Also very very clean.

Desventajas: Breakfast was average.

Ventajas: La limpieza y sus instalaciones . Trato exquisito del personal y unos desayunos increíbles .

Ventajas: Wonderful rooftop dining and drinks area. Great location on the edge of Stone Town.

Desventajas: No view to speak of from our bedroom, but that may be the nature of most buildings in Stone Town which are built very close together.

Ventajas: Amazing breakfast with yogurt, fruit, bread, eggs, and pancakes or French toast. The food for lunch and dinner is also great and there’s a gorgeous view of the sea from the dining area. Everything about this place was superior. The staff is phenomenal.

Desventajas: We had a slight mixup with our bills and the taco to the airport but it was all quickly sorted out.

Ventajas: Beautiful interior. Lovely food and cocktails. Very helpful staff. Great location

Ventajas: Good location. Boutique hotel with all the necessary amenities in the room. Stylish with traditional touches. Nice rooftop to chill at the sunset. Used to be part of the palace

Desventajas: Nothing

Ventajas: Seyyida Hotel is a great place- we checked in early as the room was ready, and they allowed us to stay by the pool after the check-out. Additionally, we got some free massages as we were in our honeymoon. Great breakfast!

Desventajas: Wi-fi connection could be better in common areas like roof and pool.

Ventajas: Loved the character of the building and the rooftop restaurant. The room and bathroom were large and the netted bed gave it a luxurious feel. It was in a great location to explore the city and night markets

Desventajas: We were promised a breakfast box as our flight was departing early but it was forgotten.

Ventajas: The breakfast was amazing and the staff very helpful and friendly. The local community around the hotel is also friendly - it was nice to stay close to them. They offered us a nice massage as it was our honeymoon.

Desventajas: The internet connection was not bad, but could be better, specially in the swimming pool and the rooftop.

Ventajas: Hotel lindo, limpio y muy bien ubicado, pero algo ruidoso.

Desventajas: NI la piscina ni el comedor estaban habilitados por remodelación y no avisaron antes, ni hicieron descuento.

Ventajas: We came to The Seyyida Hotel with family, 3 kids, aged 11, 9 and 3. We took "The Apartment" and were pleasantly surprised all around. The apartment was large, clean and comfortable, staff was very helpful and location was spot on. Very much recommended.

Desventajas: None.

Ventajas: The staff were so helpful. The views were really nice. They let us check in earlier because our flight landed so early and even threw in a free massage because I was celebrating my birthday. It's close to everything. The room was lovely and I loved that they gave us little cookies each night as part of the turn down service. Would definitely recommend this hotel!

Desventajas: Nothing

Ventajas: Everything

Desventajas: Internet connection and check in you’re
