    The location was favourable, in a quiet and safe neighbourhood, convenient to go everywhere. The staff was superbly friendly throughout the day. I stayed in the room that was kept clean and available with a large bathroom and bottled water, for instance.

    I recently stayed at this beachfront hotel for a week-long vacation. The views from the restaurant during breakfast and sunset were breathtaking. The friendly staff at the reception made me feel welcome, and check-out was smooth. My ocean view room was incredibly peaceful, with only the soothing sounds of waves and birds. The hotel's location struck the perfect balance between tranquility and accessibility to Stone Town, the airport, and the Ferry Port. The staff, including the chef, were exceptional, and the meals were delightful. Room 129 provided the best ocean view. Highly recommended!

    I do recommend this hotel.

    Great ocean view & spacious room

    The view from my room was amazing and the room was very spacious with nice decor. The air conditioning worked fine and made the stay comfortable. The hotel was located directly on the beach, which was convenient for water activities.

    The hotel could use an upgrade and the amenities were underwhelming. The food options were limited and not appetizing.

    We had an amazing time at this hotel. the location was perfect, just a short walk down to the beautiful public beach. the room was cozy, loved the net around the bed. the breakfast had a huge portion and we enjoyed it on the huge terrace with amazing ocean views. the staff was very helpful and professional, manager even helped us get connected with a motorbike rental service. We appreciated the air conditioning and fridge in the room.

    The hotel could improve the lighting along the elevated walkway, especially at night.

    The hotel had a great location right on the beach with fine ocean views. It was also close to the airport, made my trip very convenient. The cleanliness of the hotel was amazing, and the staff was very helpful and cute.

    There was nothing I didn't like.

    The rooms at Zanzibar Ocean View Hotel are so cozy and comfortable! I loved the flat-screen TV and satellite channels for some relaxing movie time. The air conditioning was a real lifesaver in the tropical heat. And let me tell you, the balcony in the twin/double room was the perfect spot to enjoy the views and a cup of coffee in the morning.

    Just a personal preference, but I wish the rooms had more than one balcony.

    The location and views were jaw-dropping, with an ocean view room upgrade. Easy access to Stone Town. Great price. Lovely outdoor seating area and extra bed in the room. Mosquito nets provided.

    Starting off the new year at this hotel was fantastic! the picturesque views of the ocean from the bar were breathtaking. the rooms were clean and had air, conditioning, which was a plus in the hot weather. the staff were very accommodating and helpful in finding local transportation to explore the nearby area. Best aspects: What really stood out were the delicious meals served at the restaurant. the team of chefs prepared a variety of local and international dishes that we enjoyed thoroughly. the on, site pool was a great way to cool off during the hot afternoons, and the sunsets were stunning.

    The Wi, Fi connection was very poor and unreliable. the distance to the nearest town was a bit far, and it would have been nice if there were more options for nearby entertainment or activities.

    The hotel offers excellent value for money, with affordable prices for a comfortable stay. The staff pays great attention to detail, ensuring that the rooms are kept clean and well-maintained. The location is perfect, just a short distance from the public beach, allowing easy access to the beautiful ocean view.

    All was satisfactory, nothing to improve.

    The rooms at Zanzibar Ocean View Hotel are just awesome! Each room is air-conditioned and has a flat-screen TV with satellite channels. Some rooms even have a seating area, perfect for relaxing after a busy day. The balcony in the twin/double room is a great spot to enjoy the breathtaking view. Plus, they provide slippers and a hairdryer for your comfort.

    Honestly, I wish the rooms had more natural light. But hey, that's just my personal opinion.
