Hotels with pool in Zanzibar City

Amazing amazing place from the beautiful scenery to the excellent service !! It runs like a well oiled machine , they pay attention to detail to everything!! Special shout out to Mbarouk, Mbonea , Pianeto , Ritha and Jonny they made the visit extra special

Certainly! Here's an exceptional review for Sea Cliff **A Slice of Paradise at Sea Cliff Resort** I recently had the privilege of staying at Sea Cliff Resort in Zanzibar, and it was an unforgettable experience that truly exceeded all my expectations

What I really want to highlight with Sea Cliff is the extremely friendly and service minded staff working at Sea Cliff. Wherever you went around the facilities you were met with a smiling face and a friendly approach

The lush gardens, swaying palm trees, and the sound of the waves crashing against the shore create an idyllic atmosphere that immediately puts you at ease. **The Rooms:** My room was an oasis of comfort and elegance

The turndown service was a nice touch, and the themed dinners were great, with the Indian night being my favourite. But the highlight of my stay was kayaking at sundown, a first for me and truly unforgettable

From fresh seafood to local Zanzibari delicacies, each meal was a culinary delight. The breakfast buffet was particularly impressive, with an extensive selection of fresh fruits, pastries, and hot dishes

This hotel is right next to the airport, so the location is unbeatable. The room was very clean and a decent size. Compared to other hotels in Zanzibar, it offers good value for money

A super welcoming hotel. With very professional staff. Everything was perfect, except that we no longer had hot water in the evening. We even met the president. Recommended..Leeci

It was a great hotel. It was within a 10 minute walk from the airport. The staff were all friendly and the amenities were plentiful. The breakfast buffet was also great.

The only downside is that it's quite far from Stone Town, about a 20-minute drive

The room was spacious and bright, and the environment was excellent.

Meets expectations, highly recommended, close to the airport

example the pool floor/area and bathrooms -Its more of a work hotel. I would stay there if I had a conference in Zanzibar or something similar. As a tourist one day was more than enough

We had a very good experience. Their food is so nice. We were warmly welcomed at the restaurant by Hafidh and he served us very well..

I was travelling with a group of 8 and we could not fly out of Zanzibar. The verde hotel was very gracious and provided a great buffet breakfast

Excellent service, the customer care is so friendly and the food is So delicious.I say Hotel Verde is the place for luxury and enjoyment

Particularly service oriented were these people Hafidh Soud Bakari Anjelina

We were a group of four staying in four single rooms for four nights, and our experience at Hotel Verde Zanzibar was exceptional. The property is clean, peaceful, and well-managed — a true eco-friendly haven

Excellent stay at this lovely hotel! I can’t recommend it enough. It was an incredible price for the location and service. Very comfortable and clean room, great location near everything but on a quiet, tucked away block

The staff and manager were so helpful and organised a trip at short notice to prison islands. The beds were very comfortable, the house staff were great and the towels were always in a lovely design and great service

Really good value for money. The hotel is not five star, but it is in a great location and the service is great. Hotel is located one block from Park Hyatt, and within close distance to beach front restaurants.

Needed assistance retrieving a package from the crazy ferry terminal and the front desk attendant personally went to pick it up for me at the end of his shift. Many more examples of kind and helpful staff

Fabulous service and assistance from all of the staff. Arriving a bit late to breakfast hours and hoping maybe I can grab a bit of left over fruit- “no problem” and served me a full sit-down breakfast

Stayed at this hotel for two days with my wife ,the hotel stuff were very friendly and helpful made our stay memorable would not mind to stay here when I visit stone town again.

Staff were really helpful especially the receptionists. The food was really good and had a wide range of variety. The bars are nice especially jetti bar by the Ocean. Room was good except for the foul smell of humidity

We visited Namaste Restaurant as a family and Denis took care of us. He was incredibly kind, patient, and professional throughout our visit. He made sure everything was perfect and checked in on us regularly

When I was making my research about hotels in the island, Paradise Beach Resort definitely called my attention for all its offered benefits and facilities such as the All Inclusive package, daily entertainment shows, different bars and pools to enjoy

This is supposed to be a 4 star Resort. Our room towels were changed on day6. The coffee station was only filled on day 2 and day 6

The food at Namaste was very tasty and the spices were very mild. Dennis' was serving us always wearing an engageous smile and always helpful. Dennis has been professional everyday.

The staff were absolutely friendly, professional and helpful. I want to mention Happy Hostess, Johannes the masai, the chef Lotfy. The hospitality was BEYOND my expectations, they made me feel like in home

Before we headed out, he thoughtfully provided us with Zanzibar map and offered us bottled water for the journey. It was a simple gesture, but one that reflected the genuine warmth and hospitality of this place

The quality, presentation, and flavours were superb, making breakfast one of the highlights of our stay. The staff were also exceptionally warm, attentive, and helpful, further enhancing the overall dining experience

The staff were professional, attentive, and exceptionally well-trained, consistently delivering warm and personalized hospitality that made us feel genuinely welcomed throughout our stay

The semi-buffet breakfast concept, complemented by an à la carte menu, offered a fantastic selection of dishes, all prepared to an excellent standard

A special mention goes to the staff member at the corner desk (I believe he was handling tour bookings), he was incredibly friendly and welcoming

Our dining experience at Beach House Zanzibar was equally exceptional. The seafood was incredibly fresh, expertly prepared, and delicious

I paid circa $50 for one night here on a work trip. For that price I think it was a complete bargain. Location is great, no night clubs / chickens crowing next door so quiet

This is a unique property in the Stone Town area of the Zanzibar, close vicinity to the Forodha Park , the hotel is quiet and gives you a feel of the ancient times a great break from the new modern hotels

Happy to change pressure as needed, welcoming and a delight in general. The room and atmosphere was Also lovely. Maryam is only massaging women so I feel Should be supported in her endeavors

I didn’t stay at the hotel but went for a massage at the spa with Maryam and I want to highly y recommend her to any women whom want some pampering or just a good massage

Instead it’s bursting with Stone Town character, amazing location, nice bed and bathroom with lovely staff. Will stay again and willing to pay a little more

I didn’t have breakfast there so can’t comment on food (so many choices within a 5-10 min walk). This is not a luxury hotel like a Hyatt or Serena

A nice atmosphere, hotel around by the beautiful trees, huge rooms. Amazing staff, especially at reception and pool bar (Mohamed and Christopher 👍)!

The Madinat Al Bahr hotel is conveniently located at a beach near the airport (3km, 6-10min drive) and also not far from Zanzibar City (7km, around 10-15min drive) with its famous stone town and ferry terminal to Dar Es Salaam etc

The beginning was a little bumpy yet after I addressed my concerns, the management in all departments including frontdesk and F&B went out of there way to make this visit for my mother and me even more memorable than expected

The hotel's architecture is impressive. The breakfast buffet is nice, but lunch an dinner buffet happens only on weekends. The restaurant kitchen is strong on local Swaheli food, fresh produce and Indian dishes

Next to a dinner invitation we were honored with a massive room upgrade with no questions asked. The staff was always extremely friendly and forcoming. I can definitely recommend this magnificent looking Hotel

But don't order the T-Bone steak. I asked for medium rare but got a hard boiled (!) though correct piece of meat but too tough to either cut or chew. The rooms are big and clean with nice ocean views

Unbelievable, a gorgeous property. The photos do not do it justice. We will be back The team were very welcoming and were also very kind making us an early breakfast so we could eat before our flight from Zanzibar

We recently celebrated our anniversary at Zanzi Resort, and the experience exceeded our expectations in every way. From the moment we arrived, the team made us feel genuinely welcome and well taken care of

We stayed in an ocean front villa with a private pool, which offered excellent privacy and seclusion—something we particularly appreciated as a Muslim couple

Amazing Resort! Thank you for everything! We celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary and had a lovely dinner at the beach! Everything was amazing, so friendly staff and exellent food and service!

The setting allowed us to fully relax without concern, and the villa itself was spotless, well-maintained, and thoughtfully designed

Everything about this hotel is 5*!! The property is extremely well maintained! The food was absolutely delicious, every single member of staff was so lovely, attentive and welcoming! We sat out on the jetty every day to view sunset - breathtaking views and we also managed to see some dolphins! Thank you for looking after us so well and giving our family some wonderful memories :)

The whole hotel is beautiful, our room was great (and had air-conditioning), everything was clean and well maintained. Great views of Stone Town from the rooftop

our experience was 10/10, staff are so lovely and accommodating and very polite. thank you dhow palace hotel!

We went to this hotel to have coffee. We really liked the design of the hotel, lots of interesting interior items. And the coffee was great!

The room is generally good, clean, breakfast variety

Excellent location and very easy to walk to from any area of Stone Town, would recommend

Such a lovely hotel for a very affordable price. Located in the city center next to those winding shopping streets, very stylish with the vintage furniture on the inside and incredibly helpful staff!

The pool is a decent size and calm. It has a short shallow end then becomes quite deep. Beware that there is no indication of how deep it at actually is.  Overall, I think the price was fair for the quality of the stay

Location: Conveniently located to many places in stone town. And very close to the highly recommended restaurant Luk Maan! Steps away from forodhani gardens/market and other popular sites

Service: Overall was very good, i have no complaints it was a nice stay. Cleanliness: cleaners regularly came in to clean and left cute snacks on the bed. Pool: The pool was great, very deep i'm 5'6 and had to tread

The common areas for breakfast and by the pool were also clean. Any messes in the common areas were cleaned promptly. The bed is a firm mattress but it was comfortable

Food: we missed breakfast the first day, but were able to have it the remaining days and it was always good. The restaurant which hosted breakfast was very cute with swings and canopy trees and the pool

The area around the hotel is bustling in the day and quiet at night. A taxi cannot drive up to this property so you will to do a short walk through the streets to get there. The staff were friendly and always greeted us

The breakfast was amazing with the European continental and Indian Cuisines along with great variety of locally sourced fresh fruits and juices. The hotel staff are very cooperative and friendly

The vibe, the aesthetic ambience, my most favourite rooftop view, delicious Indian food, cozy rooms, and above all, the warmth of the entire Maru Maru team make every stay truly special

They attended to all our needs at the earliest. The only problem was the lift being not operational for access to guest rooms. Otherwise the overall experience was pretty awesome!

Anand for always making me feel at home. The hospitality is exceptional and leaves you wanting to come back again and again

The rooms were spacious, equipped with good ventilation, storage and overall well maintained

beautiful venue and facilities. Staff are very polite and try their best

I didn't understand why, it was awkward. But the rest of the hotel is wonderful. You can look at the artifacts that the hotel is full of for a long time. There is a swimming pool and even a fountain

The room had a balcony and a view of the embankment. The hotel and rooms are made in the old colonial style. The room is clean, in the evening, if desired, they treated for mosquitoes. Excellent pool in the courtyard

Everything was great! It's so convenient to be by the beach, the breakfast was very varied and delicious, and the pool was great too

Very close to the ferry to Dar es Salaam. The hotel building is very historic. The room is large and the sea view is right outside the window. The breakfast is rich. The restaurant is on the balcony facing the sea.

A gorgeous hotel right in the center of events. We had a huge room with a view of the ocean and the port, with a large balcony. The only thing is that it was named after the famous slave trader, Tippu Tip

The windows are stained glass. The location is also excellent. Nearby is the night market, which is a bright landmark, the Mercury House is a 7-minute walk away, the House of Wonders and the old fort are also very close

He gave us lots of tips for Stone Town and also of a cultural nature. The breakfast is great, the selection at the buffet is local and international, as is the dinner

Everything was great except I did not receive the food and beverage credit that was promised with my ******* reservation.

The bed was perfect and our room had a nice view of the pool and ocean. The staff, Rabia, Yunus, and Yussuf Big to name only a few were great. A perfect place to stay for 4 days before our safari.

Great Stay Wonderful hotel on the beach in Stone Town. Very friendly staff, excellent breakfast buffet. Nice views and pool.

The room was beautiful and very clean. Staff were very pleasant and helpful. The food was wonderful. And a great location for walking around Stone Town which was very safe. In all an excellent stay.

Staff were very helpful and friendly, particularly the receptionist who helped us with booking our transfer to the airport at the end of our stay

I stayed at Zanzibar Palace Hotel from June 8 to June 10 and had an amazing experience. The hotel is full of character, with beautiful Zanzibari decor and a peaceful atmosphere

Its so authentic hotel You fell like in old times Its clean hotel Breakfast is enough Workers was polite Pretty safe area.. 

The staff were incredibly warm and helpful, the breakfast was delicious, and the location was perfect—close to all the sights, yet quiet at night

Recommended hotel, with friendly staff. Really friendly helpful staff. Great rooms. I’d recommend.

The decoration is very exquisite, not as old as the pictures look.

This is Africa and I learned very quickly that I have to adjust my expectations to fully enjoy what this place has to offer. Everyone was trying their best to make this stay for me and my mother enjoyable

The room is clean and tidy, the service is fast, the attitude is friendly, the cleaning is in place, the facilities are advanced, and the environment is beautiful

Good location, friendly staff, and decent pricing - all you could want!

In the core location of Stone City, there is a highly rated restaurant on the rooftop. It takes only five minutes to walk to the night market. The free shortbread for check-in is very fragrant and delicious

The hotel has a great location right in Stone City, and it's considered one of the cleaner and more modern hotels in the city. There's a rooftop restaurant, but it's quite expensive.

The room is clean and comfortable. I will stay here again next time I go to Stone City

Nice hotel, friendly service but breakfast left me wanting a bit. Good location in Stonetown, everything is within walking distance in my opinion. A few good restaurants and bars close by.

Friendly staff, especially Ally from the restaurant, who was very attentive and made sure we were happy the whole time at breakfast or while sitting by the pool

I was disappointed with the pool and rocky beach so was not able to enjoy. Otherwise would highly recommend

Really good place, we loved our experience here for our first days in Zanzibar ! We recommend this hotel, the room was really nice and the people too everyone was sweet and helpul ! The view is beautiful too when eating or drinking something ! Thanks to the team !!

There’s a pool and a restaurant, but we just watched the sunset at the bar on the “beach”

I can say much but lots of gratitude for the lovely service I got at this lovely hotel,the checkin was flawless I arrived quite early and they went overboard and gave me an early checkin, the room was a seaview quite different from what I had booked they did an upgrade for me which was a surprise by itself I had the best experience thanks to zanzibar beach and promise to be back next year

This comes from the Nice hospitality that i got from the Hotel from the day i started to about the hotel details, i can say the customer service was superb The hotel design , the hotel view and the bedroom are so comfy Thank You

I stayed at this resort for weeks and it was worth my money spent. Amazing service by the staff. Delicious food! Not forgetting the fresh different types of juice served in the morning . I will definitely go back there.

Grisham in particular was very professional, reliable, well-spoken with English, and was able to meet all our requests (including having breakfast made earlier than normal for our flight) with a smile

The food was good, and BiBi's restaurant is a short drive away if you desire something else. FOR UPPER MANAGEMENT: The executive suite was extremely spacious, but the fridge didn't open or seem to be on for us

Staff seem to do the best they can despite limitations, very picturesque in itself however was told to get cash to pay for food and expenses as their card machine was not working.

A safe refuge in a chaotic island The stay was very lovely compared to the surrounding parts of Zanzibar. You sometimes forgot there was a world outside the resort. The staff was very respectful and helpful

It's a bit far from the city center, but it's okay unless you're on a business trip.

I recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Stone Town. It is close to all the attractions. There is a wonderful restaurant on the roof with a view, where it is always cool. There is a swimming pool and a coffee shop

Room was small but ok for our one night stay. Airconditioning and wifi worked well. Bed was too hard, at least for us. Breakfast was quite ok but service at breakfast was not. Nice, small pool in the garden

Friendly reception, clean rooms, cute pool and rooftop restaurant, enjoyed my stay 😀

Nice lobby, pool and cafe area. Rooms are dated and bedding is nasty! Staff great. Location good. Well priced for a short 1 night stay.

A great hotel in the city center. All the sights are close by, making it a convenient base for exploring new destinations.

Top hotel with perfect location, super friendly staff and excellent service. Recommended!

A calm and quite place near to sea side. Absolutely clean and healthy environment with delicious food and free room service facilities. Friendly staffs and a team of well trained people who always love to offer help.

An absolute gem! Everything from the atmosphere to the service was top-notch. I highly recommend visiting if you’re looking for an authentic and memorable experience. Can’t wait to come back!

I wasn’t feeling well for a few days afterward, though it’s hard to say if it was related. On the positive side, the hotel has a lovely view, which was a highlight of the stay

Had a misunderstanding regarding the city tax payable and Jacky was patient and went out her way to resolve the issue. Rooms were clean and sprayed in the evening for mosquitoes was an elegant touch

The rooms are quite old and could benefit from renovation. When I entered the room, I felt a bit uncomfortable, though this may have been due to tiredness after travel

I stayed at Golden Tulip Zanzibar recently and the experience was mixed. The property itself is nice and the majority of the staff were incredibly friendly, helpful, and welcoming — they really made the stay pleasant
