Loved by guests
"The Zanibar Hotel garden is such a refreshing respite from what can be a rather claustrophobic time."
"The hotel is, I believe, the oldest in Stone Town, offering a glimpse into a previous era."
"They prepared the room for sleep in the evening, turned on the AC and sprayed the bed against mosquitoes, without us even asking for it."
