Z Hotel is a spectacular tropical Oasis in Zanzibar! The staff, especially Julia was fabulous, the grounds and decor were beautiful and the food was delicious! I would stay here everytime I would be lucky enough to visit Zanzibar and I will tell everyone I know not to look any further than Z Hotel.

We stayed for three nights following our African Safari. We loved the property and would like to have stayed longer. The staff were delightful, the food was very good and our room with a sea views was on the small side but very comfortable with a good sized deck for all our lounging. We saw a number of properties along the beach and nothing compared to this lovely boutique style property.

We spent 5 nights here, really nice hotel and the staff where all lovely. Really helpful. The hotel was very clean and secure. Pool was nice just right temp to cool down. Beach was a bit too busy so wouldn't describe it as a private beach. I would definitely stay here again.

The hotel is in a stunning location on a beautiful stretch of beach, best position to see the sunset. Property has a stylish decor and is perfectly maintained. Service is great. The infinity pool is amazing. We got an upgrade to the suite that was very much appreciated. Thank you for the amazing stay and we will come back!

Es ist ein kleines Hotel ( 40 Zimmer) das alles bietet was man sich wünscht: schöner Strand, Spa, Fitnessstudio, gute Restaurants. Die Mitarbeiter und sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Zum empfehlen ist die Touren beim Hotel zu buchen. Outside könnte etwas günstiger sein allerdings mit weniger Rücksicht auf Sicherheit.

Topp valg i Nungwi
Fantastisk opphold. Nydelig basseng og strand-område, god mat med rikholdig meny. 2 restauranter og rooftop-bar. Servicen var av beste sort, alle blid, hyggelig og behjelpelig med det meste. Sikkerheten var også høyt ivaretatt med vakter overalt. God plassering med gåavstand til det meste av restauranter, barer og shopping i området. Rommet var litt lite, men så er det ikke der man oppholder seg heller. Eneste jeg har å utsette var at sengene var litt harde.

Fantastisk opphold
Helt fantastisk sted om du vurderer å bo i Nungwi området. Absolutt alt var bra med oppholdet - eksepsjonell service: veldig hyggelige, respektfulle og profesjonelle de som jobbet der. Utrolig fint interiør og eksteriør, veldig stilig og harmonisk. Rommene var store og komfortable, god seng og gode puter. Hele hotellet og rommene var veldig rent og hygienisk. Renholderne var også utrolig skjønne og hyggelige! Maten på stedet er veldig god. Bra frokost med greit utvalg. Maten vi fikk ved bassenget var også noe av det bedre vi spiste på hele turen til Zanzibar! Gymmet var også et av de bedre jeg har opplevd på hotell! Bra utstyr og veldig rent. Rett ved stranden. God location for området. Anbefales!

Designhotell med hög klass
Z Hotel Zanzibar är mycket snyggt och rummet var väldigt trivsamt ! Rooftop suite med stor altan mot havet . Välplanerat rum med stort duschrum och Walk in closet för resväskor och kläder . Underbart vänlig personal , ojämn service vid frukosten i övrigt bra ! Frukosten lite tillkrånglad. Restaurang sexy fish mycket trevligt läge vid havskanten! Matsedel medelmåttig. Fin takbar med utsikt över hav och goda drinkar! Pool med hög standard men halva väl grund ! Havsbad bra ! I stort ett mycket fint hotell med supersnygg inredning.
