"Absolutely delightful."

10.0

The Zanzibar Serena Hotel is absolutely charming with delightful heritage features. The rooms are gorgeous and we had a huge balcony overlooking the sea and the pool. The staff are friendly and helpful, breakfast and restaurant facilities were great and the location is unbeatable. We absolutely loved our stay.

The hotel is not cheap so maybe a good deal but otherwise we liked everything.

"Beatiful historic hotel with lovely bedrooms."

9.0

The hotel’s location is second to none on a beach in Stone Town. Lovely pool area and nicely designed bedroom with a balcony with a hammock overlooking the sea. Special shout out to the wonderful staff including Celine who was so friendly, helpful and good natured during my stay.

I liked everything!

"Old world charm in Stone town."

6.0

The hotel had old world charm and it was clean and well maintained

The food offering was a little narrow and although breakfast was advertised to be from 0600, we had to wait for almost 30 minutes when going to breakfast early on our last day as we had an early flight to catch.

"Beautiful place"

8.0

The Location was great. Very beautiful room and very clean, spacious balcony. Great swimming pool Very nice stuff. Beautiful flowers close to the swimming pool. Beach was very close and clean. Nice welcome drinks Live music on Friday evening Enjoyed a lot

1. I booked a half board and the employee on check in said that I have only breakfast. So I asked her to recheck it and proved via Booking 2. A hairdryer didn't work in the bathroom. Received additional one which also didn't work well (had a problem with a cable). 3. Not a good breakfast. Could be much better for 5 stars hotel. No vegetables. Very poor breakfast 4. Very poor dinner, especially if u are staying for several days. Water and soda was not included to our dinner and we had to pay extra for that after dinner. Was in shock

Das schöne alte, im kolonialstil erhaltene Gebäude, die tolle Lage und das reichhaltige Frühstück. Das tolle Reinigungspersonal.

Die völlig überissenen Preise für Wein und der Zimmer. Die Rezeption ist noch in einer Art Planwirtschaft, was nicht diesem Preisniveau entspricht. Als nicht Muslime fühlten wir uns nicht richtig willkommen, vielleicht spielte hier der Ramadan auch noch eine Rolle, was aber auf der restlichen Insel kein Problem darstellte solange man sich respektvoll verhält.
