Good location and affordable in comparison to other hotels nearby. Staff initially put us into a room which had a strong smell, and then moved us to another room promptly once we raised the issue. This happened once again, but they were still accommodating and gave us a room which was fit for purpose.

The room was dingy, it was dark. The bathroom had grout stains on the floor. It felt very dirty. I was surprised it was a marriott. It felt like a motel. The bed was not comfortable. The concierge was not helpful. We asked for restaurant suggestions, they couldnt give us any recommendations. We requested to arrange for a boat tour to the neighboring island, they couldnt arrange it for us. Instead, gave us a number and told us to do it. Never had that experience from any hotel in the past. The lobby was so hot! No AC, and they told me they switched it off because the employee was feeling cold.

Great property and as to be expected as part of the Marriott Bonvoy family. Everything worked as expected from “central air conditioning”, WiFi, elevator, TV with major news channels and in-house restaurant with room service. I was thoroughly impressed and this is my new “Go To” hotel while visiting Zanzibar.

Nice place to stay, however u can hear the noise from the hallway n next door. I wish they had grab bars near the toilet seat which is quite low. Older people with arthritic knees like me would have problem rising from the seat. Other than that the hotel is very pleasant.
