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.

Great property. Looking around at the other Nungwi properties, I’m glad we chose to stay there. Very safe with security, amazing pool and the staff is beyond kind.
Kristine, 8-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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!

Beliggenhet, beliggenhet, beliggenhet
Fantastisk beliggenhet, rett på stranden. Relativt små rom men flott innredet og svært rene. Bassengområdet er perfekt og frokost restaurant er helt unik - maten er ok, men ikke fantastisk. Når det kommer til service så ha god tid. Alt tar laaaang tid - så ikke vært for tørst eller for sulten når du bestiller. Mye personale på hele hotellet og de fleste er ganske så vennlige men det varierer. Godt utvalg av restauranter rett utenfor hotellet også - dog prisnivå likt både på og utenfor hotel. Jeg vil si ganske dyrt for det meste. Anbefales på det sterkeste

Anbefales!
Oppholdet var fantastisk! Utrulig flott utsikt fra hotelrommet. Vennlige og hjelpsomme ansatte. Frokosten var veldig bra med et godt utvalg. Bra utvalg i lunsj og middagsretter i restauranten også. Bassengområdet var veldig velholdt, og servicen der var upåklagelig. Hotellet ligger flott til ved stranden.

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!
