S&S HOTEL

The hotel is exceptional, making you feel at home from the moment you arrive. The rooms are modern and very clean, and our room, number 6, offered an extraordinary view of the beach and sunrise. The cleanliness throughout the premises is outstanding. The food is delicious and reasonably priced for the high quality, unmatched by any nearby options. The staff are incredibly friendly and always ensure to make you feel at home. The owners are very welcoming, especially Slavinia, who is energetic, always positive, and ensures you are comfortable and enjoying your stay on the island. I highly recommend S&S Hotel. Don’t waste your time looking for other options in the area.

Everything was practically perfect. The rooms were new well cleaned and modern, there was no television,but you didn’t need it. Everything worked perfectly, WiFi was also okay. There was always music in the Restaurant but not loud at all,it made us dance everytime hearing the African music.The Restaurant had a small variety of dishes that very single one was perfectly seasoned and prepared. The whole staff from starting to Reception, Cleaning Staff and Security were so nice and friendly, they made you feel like you were at home. The Restaurant staff( our Sweetheart is and was Celina the restaurant manager) were amazing,we already miss them. And of course the owners( a beautiful Family,two sisters with their cute and always smiling baby and Mother which I say had a eye for cleaning)did everything possible to make your visit there like you were in a five star Resort,even though it was only a three star,they deserve atleast one more Star ,our opinion. I recommend everyone that stays there,talk to the Owners or Staff,they will do everything possible to ensure you are feeling at home. If you want something else to eat, just ask,they will try to make it happen. Talk to the staff, they love it when they see the guests happy. It’s just a great home away from home and they ALL work hard to make sure you are enjoying your stay there. I could go on and on what we experienced there but I suggest you book a room and see yourself. They got a place in our heart and we will DEFINITELY GO BACK!!!❤️❤️❤️

Nothing was there to really to complain about. The only things that maybe people would bother,not us ,is there is only one Beach Parasol at the moment, if you talk to the owners,they are preparing a wooden flooring for the sunbed area which will more Parasols provided later. The Breakfast would also nerve some people because it’s a very small variety,but everything is freshly made,even the breads and pastries.Everyday fresh fruits and juices,and the view to the ocean let’s you just enjoy it. What really bothered us was not the Hotel or Staff,it was the reviews and some guests acting like they were something better. A guest booked a room with the Seaview and complained that the ocean was too loud,COME ON!! Calling this cute Hotel a better Hostel,sorry but you were never in a Hostel probably. I hate people giving reviews like the owners only sat there and just smoked ,if you ever really looked,they were always present if you had problems or anything you wanted extra,they tried their best to get it to happen. The idiocity and stupidity from some guests are embarrassing to hear and read. Remember,it’s only a 3 star ranked FAMILY HOTEL and not a Resort. The owners and Staff are and willing to do their best to make your visit perfect.

1 of the best hotels in Zanzibar, by the sea, magnificent ocean view room with an excellent team always smiling, attentive, truly top of the range, thank you very much, I would not hesitate to come back!!

The day we had to leave 😢

Loved the pool , spacious rooms and lovely shower. Service was good too.

All was well

everything was clean and spotless

price in the restaurant was little bit too expensive

All the way from London and came for my partner’s birthday celebration. We loved how all the staff members (including the cleaners) looked after us. They were all super friendly especially Janet, Selina, Deus and Yusuf. They went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and happy. The rooms were very clean at all times and the environment was always vibrant. The managers were very understanding, supportive and helpful throughout our stay. We are really pleased to have stayed at this hotel and definitely recommend it!

Food was great, only thing we have to say about the breakfast is that it would be nice to have more options and bigger portions.

Staff: It's important for us to mention that the staff was always super friendly and did their best. Everyone was always in a great mood, attentive, and always helpful. Facilities: The hotel is new, and there is nothing to criticize about the rooms and the furnishings. The rooms are large, and the bed is cozy. The view from the rooms with sea view is really beautiful. The grounds were extremely clean and well-maintained. Surroundings: The beach is ideal for long walks (always pay attention to the tide). The beach is one of the quieter ones, where you often see locals playing and lingering. We liked it very much, but if you want more of a lively holiday, you can go to Paje. Be sure to try the small local restaurants in the immediate vicinity. There are also small shops for drinks, fruit, and local produce nearby. Additionally, there is a highly recommended dive center just a minute's walk away.

Food: The breakfast is certainly adequate for a short stay, but it becomes monotonous for a longer stay. The choice is very limited, and the prices for food and drinks are quite high and unreasonable compared to other hotels. The food is okay but not outstanding. The amount of fish/seafood in some of the seafood dishes was almost outrageous. Other: We only had a bottle of water in our room on the first day; after that, none. Either you get your own water at the supermarket or get a bottle of water in the restaurant for $3 (!). Considering the room rates, a bottle of water should be available in the room every day. However, there is always free water with meals. One small thing: the "do not disturb" signs are missing in the rooms, so you always have to let the cleaner know if you want to be undisturbed. There is also a general lack of parasols. Overall impression: The complex is clean and well-kept, but unfortunately, the hotel does not seem to have been thought through to the end: there is a lack of coziness and no place to relax (except the pool) or have a drink in the evening. The prices in the hotel are too high, and considering what it offers, the accommodation prices are also too high. You certainly can't go wrong with this hotel, but there are certainly much cheaper, cozier hotels with more charm that are just as well-maintained.

The Hotel is well cared and designed. it's colorful and welcoming and free areas and room areas are well distributed. the Staff is professional and friendly and careful to do their best to satisfy your need. Breakfast is nice and tasty and always prepared well on time.

i wouldn't mind some sunbeds directly down on the beach.
