Authentic hotel, exceptional service, incredible food (lunch & dinner), fairly good breakfast, stunning views and set in a fantastic location. Everything you need and very good value for money. Highly recommend. The staff in particular cannot do enough for you.

The picturesque coastline is undoubtedly the highlight of this property, and waking up to such views is a delight. The staff at Zenobia Hotel are another positive aspect, always greeting guests with warm smiles and offering helpful assistance throughout the stay. Their friendliness adds a personal touch that is much appreciated. However, the hotel falls short in several key areas. While the cleanliness is maintained, the overall quality of the hotel is quite poor. The amenities and facilities are lacking, and the decoration and infrastructure are in need of significant upgrades. The price of the stay does not align with the value provided, making it feel overpriced for what is offered. The Wi-Fi service is a major drawback. The connection is extremely slow and frequently disconnects, making it frustrating for guests who need reliable internet access. Additionally, the restaurant at Zenobia Hotel is mediocre at best, and the breakfast leaves much to be desired. The quality of the food is poor, with only the coffee and some fruit being acceptable. The area surrounding the hotel can feel a bit unsettling, especially at night. While it’s possible to walk around, the dark streets contribute to a sense of insecurity. It’s worth noting that this may be a broader issue in Zanzibar, but it’s still a concern for those staying in the area. Beach vendors, known locally as "beach boys," are pervasive and can be quite intrusive. They frequently approach guests, trying to sell excursions or ask for money, which can be bothersome and detracts from the overall experience. In hindsight, I regret choosing Zenobia Hotel and would not recommend it to others. Based on our experience, it’s unlikely that I would choose to stay here again.
