"We stayed in the Mercury room. The room was fine. The windows are coloured glass with no window coverings so it gets bright when the sun comes up. The walls are thin so you can hear outside noise but it’s not loud. Good air conditioning, fan and there was a mosquito net. There is a sort of mothball smell but that’s likely from bug spray. Staff were nice and courteous. The breakfast was decent and there was a nice view of the Old Fort. The hotel is located in a main tourist shopping area."

Top Prison Island Hotel Reviews

Mizingani Seafront Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Loved this property and the staff. We had a situation with our rental car and they had a staff member walk to where we had parked the car and he actually drove our rental car back to the hotel and then called the guy we rented the car from and asked him to come by the hotel to pick up the car. I think that was above and beyond and we truly appreciated the extra time and help."

Park Hyatt Zanzibar

10/10 Excellent

"Very recommended! Amazing hotel! Great location. Extremely helpful staff!!!"

Hotel Verde Zanzibar - Azam Luxury Resort and Spa - Dry Hotel

8/10 Good

"Hôtel isolé de tout et entrée principale en travaux . Complexe propre et petit déjeuner correct . Dans l ensemble le personnel est accueillant par contre le service de chambre laisse à désiré . Parfois pas de serviette en arrivant le soir car les sales ont été prises mais pas remplacées . Il aura alors fallu plus de 2h et 8 appels pour en obtenir 2 autres alors que nous étions 4 dans la chambre. De même pour l eau. De plus le ménage a duré 2h pour un résultat juste correct . Mais en gros l hôtel est gentil"
