Guest Reviews

• Ashraf (9/5): It was good to meet nice persons at your hotel - Very okay Breakfast
• cristina (8/5): Hotel molto accogliente e in una posizione strategica per visitare la città e per arrivare a Spiaggia, porto, giardini. - Posizione, accoglienza, disponibilità dello staff, camera grande, pulizia. Posizione della camera sopra ai generatori, con rumore assordante e fastidioso. Impossibile dormire la notte. Colazione da ampliare.
• Mariana (10/5): El hotel es magnífico si le gusta lo tradicional - Personal muy atento, todos los.servicios excelentes. Cuesta llegar en automóvil, las calles muy estrechas y mucho tráfico
• Tony (2/5): Maximum 2 star hotel - The cleaned area Brake fast + as 4 star hotel with high cost stay it was disappointing no buffet or even real brake a level of 4 star hotel
• Ruggero (8/5): -
• Bertha (10/5): Superb Trip - The whole staff went out of their way to make our stay comfortable All was extremely good
• Annalisa (10/5): -
• Anna (7/5): -
• Jallal (10/5): Endroit agréable près du centre ville et de la mer - L’emplacement !!
• Louis Arsène (9/5): Wow - Breackfast

• Anton (7/5): Fine place to stay. - The location is good. The room is big and clean. And most of the staff where friendly. Somehow the cleaners had done something to the bathroom so the hole apartment smelled the hole time we stayed there of wc cleaner. Then make sure when you wanna order a taxi from the staff that you do it with the person who asked u first. Cause they all use their own driver. So at breakfast we where asked if we needed a driver for the day after. We said “maybe” cause we where still planning. Later in the night we went to the reception to order a cap. And then morning after on departure day the same guy at breakfast came over and asked if we still needed a driver. We told him that we already ordered one the night before. And that changes the atmosphere! We kinda got told, how we could do that when he asked first. And we just replied. “Don’t you guys work together as a hotel” where the answer was “no we don’t”. Not a big deal for us, just an unfortunate way to end the trip here at Park Hotel.
• Keentraveler12 (6/5): 3-star Hotel - This hotel is definitely not a 4-star property as advertised. The reception manager was not particularly friendly or welcoming, which made the experience less pleasant. The rooms were ok with very few amenities. That said, there are some positives. The breakfast was excellent, with fresh fruit and delicious local pastries offered each morning. Abdulhamid was especially helpful — he went out of his way to assist with organizing tours, and he provided useful tips and clear directions throughout our stay. The hotel is also centrally located and within walking distance of restaurants and Fordhani park, which is very convenient. Booking directly with the property or walking in can get you a cheaper rate. Overall, while the location and breakfast were highlights, the hotel does not meet 4-star standards.
• Ali (5/5): 1 Nacht schlafen und weg - Lage und die Klimanlage Das Bett hat nach schweiss gestunken und das badezimmer nach abfluss!!
• Manuela (8/5): Zentrumsnahes Stadthotel - Die Lage ist topp, nicht weit vom Meer und in die Altstadt. Wir hatten ein Zimmer, das kein ordentliches Fenster hatte, deshalb war der Geruch darin etwas unangenehm. Das Frühstück war in Ordnung, es gab ein Buffett. Das Zimmer hatte keine Aussicht und kein richtiges Fenster. Meine Freundin hatte ein anderes Zimmer, da gab es sogar einen Balkon.
• Sandra (9/5): Mit diesem Hotel hatten wir uns kurz vor Abreise wieder an den CH-Standards gewöhnen können. Perfekt - Das Personal war sehr hilfsbereit und wir konnten einen guten Preis aushandeln um das Zimmer bis Abends um 20 Uhr behalten zu könnten, da unser Flug um 23:25 war. Die Klimaanlage ging nicht ganz richtig. Wir haben jedoch auch nicht gefragt, da wir damit und mit dem Ventilator den Raum doch genügen kühlen konnten.
• Mustafa (1/5): - Konumu güzel Çalışan personel vurdumduymaz.
• Mahamadou (7/5): -
• Elisabeth (10/5): - It is a wonderful place
• Mohamed (10/5): -
• Harsh (10/5): -
• Nicholas (10/5): - A spacious, well-appointed hotel, close to all the cultural excitement Stone town has to offer. It is comfortable and the breakfast is good. The TV reception is not good if that is important for you.
• Antonio (6/5): - Abbiamo chiesto la colazione alle 6 di mattina ( compresa nel prezzo) ci hanno detto che l’avrebbero data ma non è stato così. Abbiamo chiesto 2 caffè prima di partire ma non ci hanno fatto neanche quello. Grazie
• Paulo (9/5): Sure will be back there! - Great Location if someone need to stay in stone tow. Very good breakfast. Bedroom with good size and everything works well. We like everything.
• Salim (10/5): -
• abdulrahman (1/5): - المكان النظافة سيئه ومكيف حار

• Shaikh (10/5): -
• Johanna (7/5): -
• rita (8/5): Good location hotel - The location was perfect,the pool was very clean, and there was a good breakfast. I saw a few cockroaches in the breakfast area and it was very hot in the eating area
• Paolo (9/5): Ottimale x chi ama strutture "d'epoca", e vuole visitare Stone Town. - La struttura e' molto bella, con mobili antichi (es cassapanche, armadi) davvero raffinati. La nostra camera era bellissima, con un balcone che dominava l'antica fortezza. La posizione e' ottimale per visitare Stone Town. Inoltre e' ad un centinaio di metri da un lungomare delizioso. Il padrone e' gentilissimo e disponibile, ma purtroppo il personale e' un po' svogliato e non sempre cooperativo.
• Imma (6/5): - Lage war super Schimmel im badezimmer
• Mayra (9/5): Breve paso por Stone Town - Su personal y su trato, nos cambiaron divisa y nos consiguieron la sim, el desayuno. Las habitaciones amplias y con muebles de madera
• Marcada (9/5): Gostei muito de ter estado no Forodhani Hotel e recomendo. - Camas confortáveis, casa de banho aconchegante, quartos limpos e pessoal da recepção muito excelente e excelente localização e proximo de tudo O café da manhã era fraco
• Sibongile (10/5): - Location was perfect, close to amenities we needed. Their breakfast was excellent, good quality food. Very friendly staff. The receptionist went to an extent of taking details of our transport company and calling them to ensure all in order! We loved Forodhani We were satisfied with everything, thank you
• Giuliana Angela (8/5): -
• Nadine (8/5): Central location with helpful, friendly staff. Good breakfast. - Centrally located. Helpful, friendly staff. Wide variety of options for breakfast. Pool is about 15 foot square so good to get wet and cool off but not for swimming.
• Laura (8/5): - La posizione La colazione un pò misera tranne la frutta
• Cristina (10/5): Great hotel! 👍 - Great location! Great shower! Amazing size bed! And great staff! The pool is more like an enlarged hot tub that you sit in instead of swimming but other than that all good!
• Pilly (10/5): Great - Pool Nothing
• Sabrina (8/5): Super Lage für einige Nächte in Sansibar Stadt - Das Hotel liegt super zentral direkt in der Nähe des Food-Night-Market und ca. 20min mit dem Taxi zum Flughafen entfernt. Man kann fußläufig alle wichtigen Stationen (Freddy Mercury Museum, old Slave Market, etc.) erreichen. Das Frühstück ist für Afrikanische Standards super und jeder wird sich etwas finden. Die Zimmer sind groß und geräumig, die Matrazen eher hart. Sehr freundliches Personal. Der Pool befindet sich auf dem Dach und man kann sogar zum Meer durchschauen. Auf Grund der Zentralen Lage und den Afrikanischstandard Fenstern ist es Nachts natürlich relativ lange laut, was uns nicht gestört hat, allerdimgs für Ruhesuchende schwierig sein kann.
• Şevket (8/5): -
• philippe (10/5): Belle visite de la ville - Très bien situé, personnel sympathique. Petit déjeuner complet Chambre propre et grande
• Zorana1981 (8/5): Good hotel for Zanzibar standards - Great location and overall nice hotel for Zanzibar. Very close to tourist attractions, everything on walking distance. Clean and spacious rooms. Breakfast was limited but with amazing fruit selection
• Elaina (7/5): - Central location. Manager and reception staff very friendly and helpful. Thank you for a lovely stay. Very helpful for booking a trip, taxi, plus general help. Size of room was good. Plenty of bottled water given. The hotel is quiet old in need of upgrade and a good clean. We had a front room overlooking the taxi car park which is noisy at night. Old fridge in the room meant that was noisy. The water cylinder in the bathroom was also noisy in the mornings or late at night due to the age of it. There is so much potential for this hotel. Its not the staff's fault....I guess it is too much of an investment vs the return the owners are getting.
• Theodore (9/5): -
• eduardo (10/5): HOTEL QUE SUPERO NUESTRAS ESPECTATIVAS - El hotel esta situado en el centro de la ciudad con todo lo que visitar de Stone Town a menos de 10 minutos. Zona segura para salir y pasear a cualquier hora. Desayuno muy completo , con muchas variedades de la comida de zanzibar y variado. la terraza muy bien , relajante , personal muy servicial . El precio estupendo lo recomendaría para cualquiera que visite esta ciudad . Tuvimos un problema con el transfer de Booking desde el aéreopuerto y nos lo solucionaron ellos enseguida enviándonos un taxi ciertamente poco o nada
• Patricia (8/5): -
• REŞİT (8/5): -
• Efrat (6/5): הצוות היה אדיב ונחמד, מחיר כמו וילה עם בריכה פרטית בצפון. ליד שוק הלילה, קרוב לשדה התעופה. - יחסית קרוב לשדה תעופה למי שנחת בערב ולמחרת יוצא לספארי המקום ישן, שמיכות צמר, וריח לא טוב. לקחנו ארוחת בוקר לדרך שהיו בה מספר מאפים יבשים.
• Greff (7/5): -
• Ahmed (10/5): -
• Mickael (7/5): -
• Sandra (7/5): Good -
• Fatima (7/5): Good -
• Julian (7/5): Very well located to explore Stone Town and the beach front - Rooftop Pool and the location to look around Stone town Bathroom was smelly (trying to avoid mosquitoes) like mothballs. Bed was a little hard
• Jwb (7/5): Great location and friendly staff. - Breakfast buffet was ok but not great but fresh omelettes were available fruit was good but coffee was not the best, overall it was acceptable. Bathroom was a bit smelly from moth balls and the bed was a hit hard for our taste but acceptable and we slept well. Lovely pool on the roof.
• Deane (9/5): Superb -
• Kassim (10/5): Improve tv entertainment - Everything Tv entertainment
• Tanya (8/5): Lovely place - The staff are very kind and location is perfect. The rooftop only has one seating area and the swimming pool loungers has no cushions. We also had to ask for swimming towels. Our stay at a neighbouring hotel had towels available at the pool and each lounger had a cushion. Perhaps something to consider to make the pool area even better.
• Umarkhan (4/5): Staff were great, but need to pay attention on their cleaning routines - Right on the forodhani garden Room was not cleaned at all, we went out the whole day and to our surprise when we came back the room was not cleaned. Very poor.
• Arif (10/5): Exceptional -
• Nana (10/5): Exceptional - proximity of the hotel to the attractions in Stone Town Wish i had not gone during Ramadan
• Yusuf (1/5): Bad - Not good for us
• Yusuf (1/5): Fully disappointed - Unfortunately, Foradhani park hotel was a complete disappointment. Instead of the 6 rooms in the main building that I bought about two months ago, they forced us to stay in the annex building. This is absolutely shameful and misleading to the customer. I will never choose this hotel again.
• Anastasia (9/5): Superb - The room was great, the temperature in the room was good and everything was nice. The personnel was amazing. Everyone was so nice and helpful.
• Laila (8/5): Hotel midt i byen med pool på taget - Vi havde kun en enkelt overnatning. Fint værelse og personalet var meget venlige. Dejligt med en lille pool på taget, der manglede dog parasoller så vi kunne komme i skygge. Ligger meget centralt i forhold til shopping og udflugter
• M (8/5): Very good -
• Intensivka (9/5): Superb - Good breakfast, staff very helpful and nice. Beds were really comfortable. Everyday they sprayed all rooms to avoid mosquitos etc.. hotel is in absolute center of city.
• Ana (6/5): Pleasant -
• Hoosain (7/5): Good - Location
• Jenny (9/5): Superb - Staff all very friendly and helpful. Really good location. Big room with lots of windows and a balcony. Loved the shower. Small plunge pool and upper deck with nice view.
• HANKYOUL (8/5): 적당한 호텔 - 위치 좋고 엘리베이터는 없지만 짐을 객실까지 올려줘서 좋았음. 발코니에서 흡연 가능하며, 술탄 유적지 뷰임. 방은 굉장히 넓고 에어컨 잘 나와서 쾌적함. 조식은 쏘쏘하나, 물+음료는 구매해야함. (기본 2병 제공되나 양이 적음) 옥상에 수영장은 매우 좁아서 성인 세명이 들어가면 꽉찰듯 두 가지 아쉬운 점은, 첫째 객실 열쇠고리가 너무 커서 들고다니기 불편함(프런트에 맡기는걸 추천) 둘째, 예고 없이 저녁시간에 객실에 들어와 모기약을 치고 커텐을 내리고 감;;
• John (9/5): Great location and comfortable room - We spent one night, but it was very good. The room was clean and comfortable. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The included breakfast had a nice variety of items (eggs, pastries, cereals, fruit, etc.). The location is excellent as it is right across from Forodhani Park and you can enter Stone Town proper very easily. (Stone Town proper is a maze, highly recommend a local guide which the hotel can help secure.)
• Bronwyn (8/5): Pleasant hotel in Forodhani Park. - Good location in Forodhani Park near the evening food market. The beds were comfortable. The staff were pleasant and helpful. Although this is no fault of the hotel, staying near Forodhani Park means you have to deal with constant pressure from people selling tours and guide services. We found it quite tedious after awhile The rooms do not have water views. The top story pool is lovely but there is absolutely no shade.
• Jaida (8/5): I’m a returning guest… can’t beat the location! And breakfast is good. - Great location and friendly staff Hot needs some upgrades
• Jade (10/5): Exceptional - Perfect place to stay in stone town. Breakfast was great mainly continental with eggs made to order. Pleasant staff all very helpful. We also got our laundry done whilst here and had it back within 24hrs done perfectly. Nice spacious rooms and quiet rooftop pool.
• Ahmed (8/5): Very good -
• Zaaida (8/5): relaxing - The staff were helpful and friendly. We had a late flight on the day we checked out and they allowed us to take a shower after our day's activities to freshen up before our flight. The only thing i can mention is that the aircon remote wasn't working, but at least it went on and was at a comfortable temperature.
• Lorah (9/5): Superb -
• Andrew (10/5): Exceptional - Excellent stay in Stone Town. Friendly staff, great location and tasty breakfast.
• Bozena (9/5): Superb - Very good hotel, nice Staff, good breakfast. I stayed there second time and come back for sure There is no lift but the steps are comfortable
• Andreas (9/5): Superb - Great location. Fridge.
• Samir (5/5): Passable -
• Abeer (8/5): Very good - The location was superb with ease walking to so many nearby attractions and restaurants, It was so noisy, the restaurant is right in the middle of the hotel lobby and, clattering of cutlery early morning was so noisy The rooms did not have any nice views and the bathrooms often had sewage smell
