Hotels near Ferry Dock - Zanzibar, Zanzibar City

We loved everything about this place: the beautiful decor, the delicious breakfast and coffee at the roof top terrace, but most of all the super friendly staff that made us feel so welcome! Would definitely stay here again!

Great location Exceptional food Amazing ambiance Quality rooms

What an absolute gorgeous gem of a hotel in Stone Town. Truly authentic building and decor and incredible bedrooms. I stayed in the ‘Kate’ room which was utterly delightful. Beautiful private terrace overlooking the town, enormous bedroom (beautifully decorated) and an open-air bathtub adjoining. Super private. Gorgeous to wake up in the morning and open the doors and feel the breeze filter through. Beautiful bed linen and towels (woven locally) and handmade soaps. If you are into aesthetics, then this is the place for you. I can’t say enough to rate the hotel. All the staff were absolutely delightful and super attentive (as a single female traveller it was very much appreciated). The Manager was extremely kind and friendly. Also organised a fantastic private tour of the town for me which was brilliant. The rooftop restaurant is to die for. The best, authentic and freshest of food I have ever eaten.The taster plate experience with sunset and cocktails was dreamy. Amazing views and ambiance. Didn’t want it to end! The Secret Garden restaurant is also absolutely worth a visit. I attended on a Friday evening when there was live music being performed. Truly magical. Again, the food was just amazing and the staff all super kind.

I could say many things about this amazing property, starting with the beautiful rooms and the constant assistance by its super kind staff but to be honest I was particularly impressed by the location that is a real wonder of nature: this place is a paradise. I was upgraded in a Suite and I could enjoy one of the best sunset I can remember in recent times, not to mention the pristine beach. One special mention to the chef who assisted us personally and prepared some unforgettable Italian "spaghetti ai frutti di mare"!

The building outside and inside is just magnificient with it's flair from 1001 arabian nights. The interior is decorated with a lot of attention to detail and just wandering the hallways you can discover many arabic-style antiquities. The staff is also very friendly and helpful, the pool is very clean, the breakfast extensive and the location unbeatable especially when you arrive by ferry as it is only a 2min walk from the port.

Hameed and team are very accommodating and efficient. The facilities were clean.
