Hotel Zenji Hotel
Malawi Road, Zanzibar City, Tanzania – Great location - show map
Nora and the staff were very nice and welcoming. The breakfast was great! We did a prison island tour to see the giant turtles, and I HIGHLY recommend it! The giant turtles are honestly worth the trip to Zanzibar alien :)
United States of AmericaFantastic location, wonderful staff and great value for the money!
United States of AmericaZenji is a GEM! I was so glad to have found it! The staff is absolutely amazing, so kind and helpful, and that always make a big difference, especially when travelling alone. I'll definitely be staying here again!
United States of AmericaThe decor was lovely, the staff delightful and the location perfect. What more could we ask? We especially liked the balcony to our room, which allowed us to look down over the traffic for some great "people watching!" The restaurant was a good spot for a snack or lite supper when we were just too tired to venture back out into the chaos. Great to have an ATM right across the street! The shop on the first floor sells some lovely fair trade products: great gifts to take home in support of local projects. We took everyone's advice and got "lost" in Stonetown....so much to see and experience.
United States of AmericaThe staff are absolutely wonderful! Generous and very helpful with any request. The breakfast was great & their wifi (in case you are a business traveller) is perfect. The Cafe downstairs is also very convenient for a quick coffee or planning the day ahead.
Egyptstaff is really kind, rooms are completely clean and the breakfast is incredible! Totally recommend that place!
GermanyBreakfast on the rooftop was very nice! Need re-fill of the coffee, no issues!
United Arab EmiratesGreat for an overnight stay. Room was very comfortable with good air conditioning. The shared bathroom facilities was something I was apprehensive about however it is very clean and the best shower I've had yet. The senior soap was a nice touch. Highly recommend the tour of stone town, the night market, the fish market and the hotel coffee was fantastic too
United KingdomLovely friendly little hotel in a great location near ferry terminal and close to forodhani park. Good breakfast. Not fancy but the rooms and bathrooms were spotless and had good a/c. Great budget option with a touch of Zanzibar style.
