I had an amazing stay at Zenobia Beach Resort. The service was excellent, and everyone was so kind and welcoming from the moment | arrived. The resort is right on the beach with a beautiful view, and the à la carte breakfast was a great start to each day. Glory, the hotel manager, was wonderful and made sure everything ran smoothly. I also want to mention Ali, our tour guide, was friendly and made my experience even better. My only complaint is it had bad water pressure

Great Place, staff try their best.

Overrall a good stay, the breakfast is not much to choose from, and is not the reason to pick this hotel. We upgraded to seaview room, witch was very nice with the terrasse right over the sea. they say all romm is sea view witch is correct in a way, as you can see the sea, but the lower cost rooms is having the sundeck to view over before you see the sea. but not a bad choice. i would stay there again

Nice location

The view and location is great, this is also the best part. The rooms are worn and our bathroom was humid and smelly all the time, even for African standard. Bed was not so comfortable. However it was clean and cleaned every day. No mosquito spray or preparation in the evening. We did not get laundry service even after asking many times. We ran out of toilet paper and it was not replaced by cleaning service. They also make you wear a silly resort bracelet for no reason. The breakfast is good and also the restaurant. The hotel has it's own diesel generator which comes in handy during all the frequent power outs. AC was good. I would also recommend the hotel to clean up the hotel road leading to the main gate. It is full of waste and does not give a good impression. All things considered we still liked it but there is some work some work to be done.

This property is situated in the heart of Nungwe beach so everything is walkable and convenient. Our room on the 2nd floor had an amazing view of the beautiful blue Indian ocean which I could never get tired of! The staff was kind and accommodating, and the restaurant had the best food! The rooms are a little outdated but everything was well maintained. I would stay here again.

2/10 Poor

Budget motel over priced

Dreadful! Budget motel charging high prices for the fab location. Very shabby and tired despite hard working cleaners doing their best. Just grubby. Shower dirty and worn out. Rugs curled up at the corners. Curtains didn’t meet. Bed was splintered on the side. Floor very scuffed and dirty. Breakfast was very poor. Warm fruit juice that should be cold and barely warm food that should be hot. Air con broke down far more frequently than other places we stayed at in Zanzibar. Definitely not worth the money

Das Personal war sehr bemüht und hat sich sehr gekümmert, um die Wünsche zu erfüllen. Die Nähe zum Meer ist großartig. Geht nicht besser. Wir hatten Halbpension und waren mit dem Abendessen sehr zufrieden. Gute Qualität und sehr nett zubereitet. Zum Frühstück fehlte mir persönlich Käse und Konfitüre

Abbiamo soggiornato allo Zenobia per 3 notti con solo colazione inclusa, in quanto in zona ci sono tanti posti dove mangiare e a noi piace provare diverse cucine. Eccellente la cordialità del personale e la bella terrazza dove fare colazione/pranzo/cena con una vista bellissima, specialmente al tramonto. Accesso diretto in acqua comodo con una scalinata dell’hotel e lettini presenti nella terrazza (non in spiaggia poiché la zona è soggetta a maree). Cibo buono, nulla da dire, poca scelta per la colazione, ma giudizio comunque positivo. Note negative: le camere sono vecchie, ma fanno il loro dovere, wi-fi abbastanza lento Posizione ottima, in quanto appena usciti dall’hotel ci si trova al centro della vita di nungwi, super sicura anche di sera.

Fizemos uma viagem longa, ficamos em diversos hoteis, mas nada se compara a energia do pessoal que trabalha nesse hotel. Fui embora com a vontade imensa de ficar. Fizemos todos os passeios pelo hotel, inclusive tivemos que montar dois passeios personalizados para poder atender aos nossos horários. Eles ficavam até tarde da noite de prontidão no hotel para qualquer passeio que precisasse. Todos são muito simpáticos. O hotel fica perto de várias coisas em Nungwi, que facilitam tanto as compras quanto ir para as praias, restaurantes e bares. Com certeza, se eu voltar ficarei lá de novo.

Fin

Rigtig fint ophold. Der var nogle problemer med toilettet på værelset, de forsøgte at fikse det, men det lykkedes desværre aldrig. Også en lidt træls oplevelse, at hotellet lukkede gadesælgere ind, så man ikke kunne være i fred. Da vi ankom til hotellet opkrævede de det fulde beløb for opholdet på trods af, at vi allerede havde betalt. De troede ikke på os, og vi var nødt til at vente et godt stykke tid inden de fandt ud af, at vi talte sandt

Budget Unterkunft zu einem Luxus Preis

Ich würde diese Unterkunft eher als ein Budgethotel bezeichnen, jedoch haben wir mit 140$ pro Nacht eher eine luxus Unterkunft erwartet.
