Great location but not entirely 5 star in some respects!

4.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 14 Oct 2019via mobile
We booked two nights here after a safari so in much need of a nice rest. Beautiful hotel, reception was awesome and the reception staff were attentive. Shown to our room and it was an excellent standard. A special mention to Catherine in guest services who was lovely and bought up a birthday cake for me. We ate that evening in the restaurant and it was OK, but just OK it certainly was not the quality of meal you would expect in a top hotel but then again it was not expensive. We ate on the terrace and it was a stunning view overlooking the beach.
The following day we went on a walk around Stonetown and the hotel is in a perfect location for this. We got back mid afternoon to have a rest before going out in the evening. The consumable toiletries had not been restocked and the ironing board we had left out was not put away, also the mastic line to the back of the wash basin was disgusting (photo attached) this is basic housekeeping. Also there is a television behind the mirror over the bath and this was not working. We laid down for an afternoon snooze to be woken by hammering and drilling, we contacted reception and it took about 20 minutes for this to stop, by then we were so wound up about it we couldn’t rest again. It was apparently the maintenance team working in another room. The following morning we were woken at 08:30 by the same hammering and drilling, we reported this immediately and it was stopped for the remainder of our stay. We checked out and was asked if everything was OK, we mentioned the hammering/drilling so the manager was called. He was very apologetic and refunded us the cost of our meal from the evening before which was not much as we only had a main course and one drink each but this was accepted graciously but to be honest, the cost of the room for two nights here was not enough compensation and that alone would probably not want me to revisit the Park Hyatt.

We stayed two nights at the Park Hyatt as part of a tour. The hotel was fantastic... wonderful staff, clean, comfortable, beautiful accommodations. Extremely comfortable with amenities. Dining was also very good. A+ all around.
Can't say the same for Stone Town and the rest of the island. Very little to do, and a very depressing environment. Dirty and run down.

Great waterfront location, incredible staff and a top Hyatt-brand experience!
The entire stay was made so easy by everyone who attended to our needs.
Definitely one of my best Hyatt experiences!
Zanzibar has an easy-going spirit and the Hyatt location makes it all worth it!

We stayed in this hotel so many times and it’s never disappoints. We love the interior design of the hotel, it’s very pretty. Rooms are very large and new with amazing bathrooms. Restaurant is great, stuff is friendly and food is delicious.

After back to back dusty, bumpy safaris in Kenya and Tanzania, three days relaxation was in order. The hotel’s decor Is in an Arabesque style, fitting the huge influence Arab culture has had on the island, which these days is 95% Muslim. It is cool and spacious, with a dining room, and an area called the Living Room which is a coffee lounge, bar, casual meeting room, and a place to watch soccer. Outside, there is a lovely terrace and swimming pool. The lobby has a cool space and lovely pool, reflecting Arab geometric design.

You could not wish for a more helpful and obliging staff. Everyone seemed to know what you’d done that day and was interested in your reactions to your experiences. Nothing seems rushed but everything is done on time,
Rooms are huge with mosquito nets for the beds, shuttered windows, aircon, overhead fan, and a table and chairs and easy chair. Equally huge, well-appointed bathrooms and sophisticated lighting. Enough power points and charging facilities. Beautifully cleaned and maintained.
Right on the edge of Stonetown so sightseeing there is easy, and it is also close to boating and a beach.
Unknowingly I had dropped my wallet out of my bag when taking out my camera to take a photo, and it was returned to me snappily by security who made sure Inchecked the contents. Of course it was all there.
The wait staff are extraordinarily well trained, the food is fabulous, and everything runs like clockwork.
Easy to organise or pick up tours from here.
It was a brilliant place to unwind- I can’t recommend it highly enough.
