Staff was great. Main room lights don’t switch off unless you remove the card for power and that way the aircon doesn’t run

Når gæsten kommer tilbage?

Da vi kom igen næste uge, kunne vi ikke få et værelse til samme pris igen, så vi endte med at gå et andet hotel.

10/10 Exceptional

Great location. Good service. In the middle of the city center ( old part of the city). Many commerces open during the day. At night is not safe to walk around but you can always call a taxi an Uber.
Lavinia, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Reliable hot water and cold AC made the stay very comfortable. The in-room safe didn’t work but not a deal-breaker. No AC or fan running in common areas (ie. Lobby) although the machines are standing there. Same for restaurant, although they did turn them on as soon as I sat down for breakfast and cooled quickly, so maybe that’s a plus for eco-conservation!

Sentralt. Rent og pent.

Ca. 10-15 minutters gange fra Zanzibar-ferjeterminalen. 25 minutter fra markedskvartalene. Rent og pent med alt som trengs. Egen resturant med bl. a. god indisk mat😊

Close to Zanzibar ferry

Well managed hotel in the proximity of Zanzibar ferry terminal. Helpful staff, clean room, comfortable bed and a decent if expensive restaurant.

Well run hotel within walking distance to Zanzibar ferry terminal. The rooms are very clean and the area is safe if a little run down.

Call to prayer on loudspeaker from mosque

Call to prayer on loudspeaker at 5:00 a.mm. Every morning woke me up

8/10 Very good

Satisfactory hotel

The room and bathroom were fine, the AC, fan and TV all worked, and breakfast was good. The location was quiet and the staff was helpful. We walked a lot and the streets around the hotel felt safe. There is nothing particularly exciting about the hotel, but there is nothing to complain about either.

The street at night is just a terrible place

The aircon cannot be controlled, either full blast or switch off The fan was either off or a helicopter One light did not have a contril to switch off Though the place was very clean and people attending was nice.

Never never book Nikko Tower Hotel in Tanzania!!!

unprofessional staff in the reception. No money exchange, no charging, etc. Poor Wifi in the room. very old towls and bed sheet. extremly uncomfortable bed. Mosque nearby woke me up at 4:30am every morning.

8/10 Very good

Peaceful spot in the messy city

Checking in took some time, since the hotel couldn't find our reservation. Eventually we got the room, which was quite full with furniture. The balcony gave extra space, though. Everything else worked well, but the net went off and on, off and on.

Hotel in Business area

Hotel was located in the area where I need to work. Not a very nice area. I had a small room. The restaurant had only limited options, did not have all the food on the menu.

I have stayed at other hotels like Holiday Inn & this hotel is superior. Nice staff.

Comfortable stay and bad neighborhood

Hotel was comfortable; bathroom and room were clean with good airconditioning. Wifi did not work in my room, though it was functional in the lobby and on other floors. Neighborhood is crowded and access to hotel is terrible. Hotel had a good Indian restaurant with several cuisine options.

Bra hotell til grei pris midt i sentrum.

Bra standard på rom, noenlunde bra frokost. Ligger veldig sentralt til, noe støy fra trafikk, samt en mengde moskeer med bønnerop fra klokken 5 om morgenen.

We loved the staff at this hotel

We booked this hotel because it was located in the city centre, in walking distance from the Zanzibar ferry. However, it is not in the "tourist" hotel area, and is more suited to business accomodation. We were woken up too early by loudspeakers from the mosque next door, but that's not the hotel's fault. Room was small but cheerful and clean. Bed could use a new mattress. There was a problem with smelly drains eminating from the shower, but the shower was hot and we kept the bathroom door closed. Aircon worked, but we couldn't set the temperature to what we wanted. It seemed stuck on 18 degrees. The locale was a bit scary from a security point of view, so we used the hotel's taxi service to take us to the ferry terminal, and that was fine. We had dinner in the restaurant and it was truly wonderful curry! They have an extensive dinner menu catering to most tastes (breakfast was not so extensive) and we were most happy with the offerings, including wine. What we loved about this hotel were the friendly staff. The manager was exceptional, and really went out of his way to ensure we were happy. This fact increased our satisfaction markedly with this hotel. They also have 24 hours service, and we had no trouble when we checked out at 4.30am. We also had our laundry done (quite a lot of dirty clothes after safaris) and they came back same day with cleaned and pressed clothes for us at very moderate prices.

Das Bad und die Dusche waren nass und nicht wirklich sauber als wir ins Zimmer kamen. Ein Fenster mit (ursprünglich wahrscheinlich) einer Doppelscheibe bestand aus einer Scheibe und einem Moskitogitter. Um ca. 5.00 fing der erste muezzin (oder wie er auch immer heisst) zu schreien. Kaum feetig schrie der zweite um gleich vom dritten abgelöst zu werden. Als wir aus dem Fenster gucktwn, sahen wir drei Türme. Der erste war etwa 20m entfernt mit Lautsprecher auf das Zimmee geeichtet. Die anderen beiden Türme waren etwa 40-50m neben dem Hotel. Ein schöner Ferienstart... Aja, geduscht haben wir nicht.
