The location is good, very close to the sea, and next to the castle (one of the castles) of Stone Town. The front desk is nice, the room is big and clean, with hot water. After climbing Kilimanjaro and safari in the Serengeti, it felt like a break for the first time. Breakfast was barely edible.

Великолепное место расположения! Красивый интерьер. Отель находится напротив форда, в шаговой доступности от набережной. Тихий номер. Бассейн на крыше. Внимательный персонал, достойный завтрак. Единственное , что не понравилось , это запах в номере и проблемы с сантехникой. Но мы останавливались на 1 ночь, поэтому не огорчились.

This hotel is definitely not a 4-star property as advertised. The reception manager was not particularly friendly or welcoming, which made the experience less pleasant. The rooms were ok with very few amenities. That said, there are some positives. The breakfast was excellent, with fresh fruit and delicious local pastries offered each morning. Abdulhamid was especially helpful — he went out of his way to assist with organizing tours, and he provided useful tips and clear directions throughout our stay. The hotel is also centrally located and within walking distance of restaurants and Fordhani park, which is very convenient. Booking directly with the property or walking in can get you a cheaper rate. Overall, while the location and breakfast were highlights, the hotel does not meet 4-star standards.

Great location and overall nice hotel for Zanzibar. Very close to tourist attractions, everything on walking distance. Clean and spacious rooms. Breakfast was limited but with amazing fruit selection

Its a terrible hotel, the service bad, the breakfast was poor and everyday the same, the room was full of insects, the wifi didnt work properly. Its super noisy all the day and night. They enter to your room, when they want, without nocking at the door. If you have a problem, they dont help to you. They do the check in when they want, and you have to wait hours. I dont recommend, we really had a bad experience.

I don't recommend the hotel, bad service, bad breakfast, noisy. I arrived at 07:00 p.m. and the room was not ready, and they didnt give me any solution or any refund. I wanted to talk with the manager and he never appeared to talk with me. So better go to another hotel, because this one is disgusting in all aspects.

Im a tour operator who fell for the star rating of this hotel - Forodhani Park is advertised on all platforms as a 4 * hotel , but its a 3 * in reality - with stained flooring , mildewed smelling rooms , fridges not maintained and smelly , and avery average breakfast . I booked 15 people at this hotel for 2 nights thinking it was a 4 * hotel . They were most unhappy and dissatisfied with the service and rooms . The receptionist said he could do nothing about the situation , and the hotel manager refused to show up at the hotel for the 2 full days that we were at the hotel . The location was not bad , but we were clearly short changed and fooled by this hotel management obviously only so that they could charge us a higher 4 * rate . Almost like thievery and dishonesty .

We slayed at this hotel for almost two weeks. It is next to water front and one can enjoy the beautiful evenings at water front without loss of time. Further, one can make frequent visits in the streets of Stone houses. The Manager Mr. Abdullah was very helpful. He was always out to help us in any matter from finding a taxi or any other assistance needed. As one is next to the coast, a boat could be easily find to visit Prison Island. All sort of restaurants are next to the hotel Hotel itself offers good breakfast.

The hotel is across from Forodhani Gardens is in the centre of the action. The room is vintage in decor, very spacious, with a large comfortable and bed . The shower was also very vintage, but powerful, with lots of hot water. We enjoyed the hotel, room, and staff. Unfortunately, there was a marathon during our stay, so there was loud music in the gardens and Fort most of the night. But this was an exception and nothing against the hotel.

The hotel is very well located close to restaurants, the city center and the beach. Breakfast is good, restaurant is good. The staff is really very pleasant, helpful and kind. I really highly recommend. We arrived during the rainy season and the staff contributed enormously to ensuring that we had a good holiday.

The hotel looks good, but it is not very well looked after, it overlooks a square, so in the evening it is very noisy and if for example you have an early flight and would like to rest it will not be possible. When I woke up I was full of bites, perhaps bedbugs or similar.

Podobało się  · Bardzo ładny, czysty pokój z klimatyzacją i sejfem. Hotel ma budynek główny przy parkingu i drugi, bardziej w centrum Stone Town przy kościele, fajna cicha lokalizacja. Bardzo pomocna obsługa, przejście z walizkami do innego budynku nie stanowi żadnego problemu ani wysiłku. Bardzo dobre śniadanie na ostatnim piętrze. Piękny słoneczny taras z widokiem na dachy Stone Town. Omlety, soki, owoce i inne pyszności to coś co czeka Cię od samego rana. Dobra kawa i herbata. Nie podobało się  · Brak informacji o innym obiekcie tego hotelu, idąc ciasnymi uliczkami późnym wieczorem nie byłem na to przygotowany i trochę się bałem. Ale wszystko skończyło się dobrze. Na Zanzibarze nigdy nie czułem się zagrożony.

Hôtel au centre de stone Town ce qui permet de s’imprégner rapidement de l’ambiance, vieux fort juste en face, et parc forodhani où plein de petits vendeurs de street food se réunissent le soir. Très bon emplacement Chambres propres avec Clim et salle de bain stylée. Personnel très compétent, juste dommage que la piscine sur le roof top ne nous a pas été signalée, on aurait apprécié une trempette en rentrant l’après-midi.
