Ryokanit – Sansibar

”Initially we had some issues with our villa and with the condition of its balcony, which was due for refurbishment as the neighbouring villa was being worked on - so it wasn’t a great start, however the staff were attentive and sorted us out by relocating us a brand new private villa which in one word was WOW! Everything else was excellent and would most certainly recommend.”

”The hotel is ok, location is quite good, although not directly accessible by car. Clean and nice rooms with good air conditioning. Our room was quite small, but there were bigger ones. Unfortunately, some of the staff members were quite rude. The pool could be better. ”

”Hotelli on yhdellä sanalla sanoen TÄYDELLINEN! + Aamiais- ja illallisbuffet kuuluivat hintaan joka päivä, valikoima oli todella kattava ja vaihtelua oli myös sopivasti. + Erittäin ystävällinen henkilökunta ja aitoa palvelualttiutta. + Huone tilava ja siisti, kuten myös hotellialue - aivan ihana! + Rauhallinen, ei ainakaan meidän aikana huhtikuussa ollut ruuhkaa. Altaalla sai pötkötellä aivan rauhassa :) - Sijainti, pitkä matka joka paikkaan eikä hotellin lähistöllä ole oikeastaan mitään. Me emme...

”I was able to get very early (free) check-in and also late check-out. the hotel has a great and long history and it locates in fabulous and busy area in Stone Town. easy to find! many restaurants nearby, also only just 200 m to the beach. no place for parking nearby! The room was too huge for me actually, so it was even hard to see TV from the other end of the room. (not complaining at all about that!) clean toilet! great and changing breakfast, lovely service in every aspect. Somehow it was...

”good”

”It was brand new hotel, the rooms were beautiful and nicely decorated. The bed was good, restaurants were good, service was excellent. The garden was magnificent. Only thing where they really should focus is beach area cleaning. Not just around deckchairs -> real beach cleaning, to collect bottles, glass, other garbage away from the beach and teach also that to local boats crews and fisherman. So that beach area can stay nice and clean in future also. ”

”Kaikinpuolin hyvä hotelli, mukava henkilökunta, aamupala oli erittäin monipuolinen ja huone oli positiivinen kokemus. Muutamaan asiaan toivoisin parannusta: Hotellille johtavan tien kuntoa pitäisi saada parempaan kuntoon esim. täyttämällä suuret kuopat soralla, saateen jälkeen jättimäisiä lammikoita et pääse ohittamaan kastelematta jalkoja/kenkiä. Muutenkin erittäin liukasta kulkea mutaisella tiellä. Toiseksi: Ajoittan hotellin edustalla olevalla rannalla oli erittäin paljon roskia, olisi hienoa...

”Rooms were immaculate, clean spacious, comfortable and the mist stunning view. Staff were super friendly, helpful, kind and just a wonderful service, nothing was too much trouble. As a solo female traveller, I felt safe, and totally at ease staying at the Zanzibari. Asante Sana”

”We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The staff was wonderful! Heads up: the beach had a lot of sea urchins in January. There were some local youths that showed us safe passage and starfish, sea spiders, lionfish, etc. right there on our beach for a small fee. For swimming the hotel pool was beautiful. The food in the hotel restaurant was reasonably priced and good. ”

”Very nice people”

”TOA Hotel & Spa Zanzibar is a fairly new, very clean and cozy resort. The beach isn’t great for swimming, but we knew this at the time of the booking. The pool area is nice, but the water is a bit cold. We booked a room with a jacuzzi, but unfortunately there were quite a few problems with the jacuzzi. They tried to clean and fix the jacuzzi a few times, but the water temperature would not hold comfortable (either too hot or cold) and the jacuzzi kept getting debris from the hosing. The room...
