The staff was very friendly, ecspecially the young boy who was worked as a night porter. The owner of the Hotel welcomed us when we arrived. She even helped us to find an other place to stay, closer to the beach. The food was nice, and the chef was also very friendly. Free internet access was a bonus!! The rooms... more

We just returned from Zanzibar. Please note that there is no electricity on the Island and all but the most expensive places are not running a/c. This kind of chages the dynamics of things as you will see. Location: Zenji is located at the outskirts of Stonetown. This makes it very convenient to walk around anywhere.

The hotel is certainly a reasonable... more

This boutique hotel really captures the spirit of Zanzibar with its spice-themed rooms. We had a unique situation where we ended up moving rooms twice and the staff was more than helpful and friendly with our somehwat random requests.
