Pros:

V blízkosti hotelu není možnost koupání v moři. Snídaně byly dostačující, nicméně každý den víceméně stejné.

Cons:

Beim Personal konnte man einschlafen. Abendessen bestellt und 1,5 Stunden gewartet. Wir waren allein im Hotel. Wie soll es aussehen wenn mehr Gäste da sind?

bel hotel et personnel trés agréable
Pros:

hôtel situé dans une zone peu fréquentée par les touristes et donc il n'y a pas grand chose a faire une fois le portail de l’hôtel franchi.

Cons:

le restaurant de l’hôtel ne propose pas d'alcool ce qui est compréhensible mais pour une personne qui n'est pas religieux/ touriste ce n'est pas acceptable. l’hôtel aurait du le mentionner avant la réservation.

I wish they mention that they do not sell alcohol on the premises. Such a heads up would be great.

Cons:

Mauvais choix de notre part sur la localisation car assez éloigné de Stone Town. Piscine ne donnant pas envie de s'y baigner, la vue de l'hôtel n'est pas exceptionnelle et les prix du restaurant ne correspondent pas à la réalité économique du pays. Pour finir, nous nous sommes rendus compte qu'en réservant en dernière minute et non à l'avance, nous aurions pu diviser le prix par 3 et malgré cela, il nous a été demandé un supplément pour avoir un 3ème lit dans une chambre, ce que nous avons refusé car c'était prévu dans la réservation initiale. Bref, préférez un hôtel directement dans Stone Town, vous économiserez en + les frais de transports pour vous y rendre.

Awesome !
Pros:

We loved the hotel, the pool, the kindness of the staff, the comfort and quality of the supplies. Honestly had a blast at the Zanzibar View Hotel !

Cons:

It’s a little outside of Stone Town but the standard of the hotel makes up for that. Also it’s calmer than Stone Town itself so we slept very peacefully. Only 15min drive drive with dala-dala

Wouldn´t recommend
Pros:

The only good thing is the location near the airport. Nothing else.

Cons:

The hotel is super noisy. As it is located in the in the fishermen port, the noise on of fishermen and huge amount of birds starts from around 5am. Although the hotel is located in the beach, it is not a beach to have sun: it is dirty and full of fishermen ships. The breakfast is rather poor (including serving of last day fruits and hard bread). Waiting times for lunch and dinner are about an hour:. By the way, we were the only guest and ordered a club sandwich... Not to mention that the staff didn´t know any of the foods in the menu, many of the foods were not served and the little we ate, they managed to mess up all the orders.
