A verified traveller from Memphis stayed at Zanzibar Serena Hotel
"I loved the botanical atmosphere of this hotel. I had a massive double room on the ground floor surrounded by plants which made it magical!! Pool area was relaxing. My favourite was the rooftop restaurant which had beautiful views of the seafront. I would definitely come back here. The location was very central to exploring Stone Town."
