Pros: Rooms were large and bathroom was modern with all amenities. All staff were excellent and very helpful. The breakfast terrace is great and there is a wide range of food along with an egg station for fresh omelets/ fried eggs etc. In room dining has a great choice of local and international food choices and was quick to arrive. The food was excellent. I also liked the surprise "gift" when checking in at the hotel which is a nice touch for all Doubletree Hilton Hotel guests. Hotel is in a great location just across the road from Park Hyatt and also close by to the Souq and main tourist attractions. There is also a tourist office next door to the hotel which was useful for arranging tours around Zanzibar.

Pros: Big clean comfortable beds, spacious room, great wifi, fridge in the room, excellent tv reception with lots of channels
Cons: We didn't have hot water the first day. They fixed it the second, but the water pressure wasn't very good- I don't have thick hair and it took awhile to rinse the shampoo out...
It's set back a ways from road so you need help with your bags an the food in the restaurant is limited and prices are high.

If I had to add one more thing it would be that there is no Alcohol allowed of course we respected this and took a few steps down the road to 6 degree's south which was the highlight of my stone town experience...

Pros: Our stay in Seyyida hotel was great. The hotel is very nicely decorated in African style and it is very clean. The only issue we had was that the room ac was just above the bed, and room was near terace where guests eat, so we could hear noise (not very loud). We mentioned that at the reception and were promptly given another room. Also, as honeymooners, we were given a free couples massage which was a very nice surprise. We would definitely recommend this place and would gladly return.

Pros: We arrived on a late eve of their independent day and unfortunately our room was not fully prepared but upon notifying them of our disappointment they were extremely apologetic, upgraded us to the most incredible and best room, and offered us dinner on the house. True customer satisfaction at its best!! If you have the budget or really want to mark an occasion book the Jaffarji Suite... it’s really something special and was perfect for the last night of our honeymoon!!! It’s like staying in a museum home. You really get a sense of being in Zanzibar and the feel of it’s history. There are a lot of old images on the walls highlighting the Islands history and many interesting books and artefacts laid around the property. Food was great and staff and the staff were lovely.

Pros: We arrived on a late eve of their independent day and unfortunately our room was not fully prepared but upon notifying them of our disappointment they were extremely apologetic, upgraded us to the most incredible and best room, and offered us dinner on the house. True customer satisfaction at its best!! If you have the budget or really want to mark an occasion book the Jaffarji Suite... it’s really something special and was perfect for the last night of our honeymoon!!! It’s like staying in a museum home. You really get a sense of being in Zanzibar and the feel of it’s history. There are a lot of old images on the walls highlighting the Islands history and many interesting books and artefacts laid around the property. Food was great and staff and the staff were lovely.

8,0 Excellent
Pros: The location is perfect! The room is good, A/C working very well. The bed was ok.
Cons: The hotel was definitely made for small people, it's quite hard for me walking around the hotel, even inside the bedroom. Mind your head all the time. The restaurant and breakfast way must to be improved.
5,0 Okay
Pros: Breakfast ok but slow, good location, nice decor.
Cons: Rats. Stayed in the Mercury Suite - might be better in other rooms. Couldn't sleep both nights. Did compain about the rats to the reception - no help at all. Rats are not inside the room but in the cavity above the ceiling. The noise they make during the night is unbearable.
