The owner was very welcoming and caring. We were advised of a nearby traditional music concert and given free tickets to what turned out to be a wonderful experience. The hotel is well-appointed and the breakfast buffet with a la carte egg dishes ample. The reception helped us book a car and a visit to a spice farm on the way to our next hotel in the Northeast. The hotel is conveniently located in the old town in walking distance from all attractions as well as the ferry port. Highly recommended stay!
ChinaThe stay in Zanzibar Place was incredible. The room was big and comfy, it looks like they thoght about every little detail. The breakfast was absolutly amazing, and the service was excellent. Stay here! You will not regret!
IsraelThis is such a beautiful venue with a unique local flair, super friendly & accommodating staff and great food as well. Rooms are very spacious, comfortable & clean, everything you could ask for. As for Danielle, the new hotel manager, she is such a sweetheart and has quite the life story. Don’t even think about it, you’ve found the perfect place!
NetherlandsThe hotel was a wonderful gem nestled amongst the streets of stone town. Walking distance from the ferry we arrived early and could drop our bags and get information on the city from the really helpful staff. The room was beautifully furnished. Breakfast was plentiful with a wonderful addition of coffee and tea in brought to our room in the morning. We had a fabulous stay.
