Near the airport. Very comfortable beds and beautiful room. Nice breakfast and great personnel. Being with kids, we preferred staying in this nice location instead of Stone Town which is very crowded and then having a walking tour to Stone Town. Would come again.

Nice hotel located close to airport (7 min walk - but they dont have signes so expect to ask and be offered a car - 10 dollar). Clean, new and spacious rooms. Nice restaurant on site and pleasant staff. Do not serve alcohol. Good for a stay with early morning flight.

Stayed one night after a late night arrival to the airport before moving on to a resort hotel. I made arrangements with the hotel to be picked up at the airport. I confirmed the pick up on the day before and the day of my arrival. Yet, when I arrived I saw signs for many people but none with my name. After waiting 15-20 minutes I took a cab. The hotel then had the temerity to tell me that the driver was there and had waited 20 minutes. No! I paid in advance for breakfast. It was underwhelming. At least the room was clean and the bed was comfortable and the gym was nice.

I stayed in the newly built portion of the hotel. The staff were wonderful. The hotel is beautiful. The pool area is a sight to see. This was a solo travel and I felt safe. The elevator will only go to the floor of your room key. This is a plus for safety. You can literally walk from the hotel to the airport. The airport pickup is $10. A but excessive for a hotel that is literally next door. I did however see a couple roaches in the hallway and one in the room, hence why I gave 4 stars instead of 5

Perfect hotel

Fantastic hotel near the airport. It was a bit far from the city center though. We went by taxi and that was okay. The hotel was so calm and nice that we wanted to spend the time there instead of the busy streets. The rooms and area around the hotel was clean. The staff was super friendly and made our stay very good. Cant think of anything to complaint about.

Room was nice, clean. Breakfast was ok, nothing great. I arranged for a shuttle pick up as my flight arrived in early hours of the morning 2am. Hotel confirmed everything via email. Unfortunately when i arrived the shuttle did not show up. As a solo female traveller and my first time in Zanzibar, i felt let down, i was fortunate to find a friendly airport porter who assisted me with finding a reputable taxi.

Fairly new , the staff was excellent. The food was good, it’s a beautiful hotel and less than 8 minutes walk to the airport. Inside your room you can’t even hear the planes take off. ❤️
