Beautiful building, lovely large room with comfortable bed, fridge with daily bottled water and tea making facilities. Nice garden/bar area. Roof terrace restaurant Taarab - had one meal there which was very nice.

The breakfast buffet selection was rather limited, msinly local or continental style food but had an egg station. The pool was inside a separate building next door and although very nice there were no sunbathing facilities. You could sit in the garden but again this was not set up for sunbathing. It did have pizza oven and they looked very tasty.

All of the staff were friendly and provided efficient service. We arrived early the reception staff stored our luggage securely and our room was available an hour before the actual check-in time. The chocolate chip cookies were delicious and since we arrived on Christmas eve, we got a visit from "Santa" and extra sweet treats. The rooms are spacious and clean. The beds are comfortable and the rooms have a desk and chair incase you need to work or complete forms before moving to your next destination. The Tarab restaurant has reasonably priced, superb quality food. The service is quick and the staff make it a memorable experience. I would highly recommend this hotel, as the location is central to majority of the attractions one would see on the walking tour of Stone Town. The Hotel can also assist with arranging a taxi to the airport or to other attractions at a reasonable fee.

Lack of sound proofing in the room. One could hear the conversation of the next hotel room very easily.

The hotel has all the basics you would expect with an on-site restaurant and access to the pool etc next door. It's not your typical Hilton the furniture etc is Arabic style. The hallways were too dark for my liking.The location is perfect and you can walk around Stone Town all by yourself. There are tourists, shops, and restaurants everywhere. You can also get historical sites by walking. However a few are being renovated.

I was in room 302, I had asked for a room away from the lift but this was still close. There is a sound from outside - a long beep that comes and goes regularly which bothered me when I wasn't wearing earplugs.

Great hotel in the heart of stone town so you can move around easily. it’s not the typical Double tree, more boutiquey with traditional zanzibari/arab interior. The staff are absolutely fantastic, everyone is very helpful, friendly, smiling always and going-out of their way to help you. Few names I still remember, Cavin from the front desk, Hadeeja and Chef Alex and all the rest were so warm!

Nothing, had an issue with the AC first night but they fixed it immediately.

A 4 star hotel surrounded by Stone Town's main 5 star hotels. A pretty great location. Air conditioned lobby which is greeaaat if you visit when it's hot. Rooms felt spacious enough. The staff were really nice and conversational.

There were cockroaches in the rooms. The towels could be of better quality. They look old

I stayed for one night. It was in a great location and I love the size of the rooms. The bed was very comfy although the shower felt a little small. The staff was also friendly and I loved how robust the breakfast options were. The view from the top of the hotel is gorgeous to look out over the water.

There was a gross bottle of dirty water left in my mini fridge so that made me wonder how clean the room was.

Hotel is situated at the heart of Stone Town, close to all shops and beach, property is with AC throughout and room service team are great with their service daily. You can find friendly staff from the entrance to reception, lobby, restaurant and everywhere.

The room said king but there was not much views out the windows other than to other building tops and walls, therefore we thought it was a little over priced.

The location is great and the staff were friendly and helpful in arranging reservations for nearby restaurants.

They have a laundry service for 5 items included in the price of the room, but we only found out about this at check out. Would have been nice to have known this on check in.

View from restaurant was excellent. Staff were attentive and food was of good quality. Check in was fast and very efficient. There was a tour operator working from the foyer of the hotel who arranged our tour who was punctual.

If you want to visit and see Stone Town would recommend only 2 nights as one you have done a walking tour and explored the alleys there is not a lot to do.

great location very close to a great restaurant Cape Town Fish market. excellent room service. staff are very polite and friendly. food is delicious; variety to choose from and great chefs. My birthday was on the 01/01/ and so the hotel staff surprised me with a heart-touched carefully handmade “birthday cake” with my name flashing on the side of the plate the cake was carefully placed in. This made my entire holiday special and memorable. DoubleTree is my hotel for life!!! I am generously recommending DoubleTree to all holiday goers looking at visiting Zanzibar. I am not doing this because of the birthday cake but for the exceptional service and care. The service I received is absolutely worth the amount I paid.
