Fabulous hotel. Right off one of the busiest areas of Stone Town but tucked away from the crowd. It was very safe and secure. I don’t know what the other reviews were taking about that it’s “in an alley.” Stone Town IS a Medina — which means everything is accessed by way of an alley. Neela is in a top-notch part of town, quick access to everything by foot and just a block from The Park Hyatt. We did scuba diving with One Ocean, which was just a block away. Our room (Superior #5 on the 2nd floor) was totally fabulous. We loved the layout with the bathtub in the room, it was spacious, and everything was thoughtful and well designed. Really felt like a new luxury retreat in a historic building. Neela had some of the best food in Stone Town as well. I loved the art collection and decor. Overall Pros: Safe! Security was posed at the entrances and at the street entrances. Great location and walkable to everything Blasting AC Super clean with pleasant local toiletries Comfortable bed and nice cotton linens Wonderful service. Earnestly helpful! Great coffee in the room and in the hotel Excellent food (get the Benedict!) You will love this gem. It deserves a ranking in a top 50 boutique hotels list somewhere. :) I’d definitely stay again. Its special.

Very good choice next to the airport, our flight got in at 3AM so this hotel was very convenient. The rooms are big and nice and it is very clean. The bed was super comfortable. The staff is a 10, specially Asha who went out of her way to help with an issue with our rental car and a transfer to our next location.

The location was very central to Stonetown, in the middle of all attractions. Our room, The Presidential Suite was grand and had a wonderful view on the sunset and the beach activities. There was a great live band in a neighbor bar (music stopped at 10pm). I ate a wonderful fish curry and an equally great carrot/ginger soup. The staff was very kind and everybody at the hotel did their best to be helpful.

    Zanzibar is an amazing destination.

    Zanzibar is an amazing destination. Don't just go to the beaches also visit the villages and learn the culture. Try Sea Walk and Quad Bike is a must. Don't leave Zanzibar without going to Mnemba Island for Dolohines best sighting. In stone town don't miss Stone Town Cafe for their Hearty Beef Burger they call it Sandwitch. At night just stick to Forodhani for all kinds of food.

    Old town is amazing.

    Old town is amazing. Walking around the lanes and back roads showed the real character of the place - particularly when you get outside of the "tourist" hub. No need for tour guides - just grab a map and explore. Also visit the fish market for a real look into the day to day life of the locals and fishermen.

    Stone Town in Zanzibar is the place to stay, for about three days. Enjoy the excellent beaches by staying at one or more, dividing your time between northern & southern beaches. preferable to hire a car for this purpose, as large distances & some activities like dolphin watching best from 6 to 7 AM, less crowd & more dolphins. each beach has something special, like Page beach for Kite Boarding. plenty of sea based activities. sothern beaches less crowded

    The city and the infrastructure needs more improvements. For someone who has no much access to white sand beaches this island can offer something. Freddy Mercury's museum was the biggest highlight to me personally.

    We stayed at the hotel after our flight from France as we felt it was useless to drive one hour to our holiday destination late in the evening. The hotel is located two minutes drive away from the airport. Staff was very welcoming and pleasant, room comfortable with a very nice bed, great bathroom with italien walk in shower, nice terrasse and pool area. A great hotel for a night after or before your flight or if you want a modern hotel in Zanzibar city with easy access to Stone town. Very good value for money.

    Nice hotel right on the beach and next to the port. Great location with everything in easy walking distance from the hotel. Our room was spacious and clean with a huge ornate bathroom. Beds were big and comfortable. TV, Fridge and a Kettle in the room with some tea and coffee provided. Breakfast was ok. The pool was nice with plenty of shaded areas and a great way to cool off after walking around the back streets of Stone Town.
