First...they let us check-in 4 hours early and gave us a late check-out! When you are a weary traveler, little things make a difference.
And the staff at the spa stayed late so I could treat myself to a pedicure!
Second...we were treated to a welcome drink on their rooftop bar/restaurant. I simply cannot imagine a better spot to view the Indian Ocean and sites of Stonetown. And the menu was varied and entries delicious.
Third...the room was vast! High ceilings, antique furniture, grand entrance to the bed, and the fabrics were colorful and cozy. All you needed-hot water, refrigerator, fluffy pillows
and safe.
Lastly, the location within Stonetown allows one to explore fully.
Recommend Seyyida Hotel & Spa as a perfect spot to begin or end your trip in Zanzibar.
