We stayed for 2 nights over the new year. Very very very bad service, checking in we had to ask 3 times to be taken to our room, asked for a cold bottle of water in the BAR told to walk down 5 floors and get it then told to walk up 5 floors and get it ! shabby unkept... More

We didn't stay for the night there. We only bumped into the hotel accidentally. We went up to the roof top and had lunch and some drinks. The food was very good and prices ok. The views are just amazing!! I'd say it is a must go for lunch, drinks or a sundowner The staff was so friendly! They seemed... More

We should have listened to our travel agent and only spent one night here and moved on to Fundu Lagoon- but we thought it would be great to experience the town and Zanzibar. The hotel is very charming, although it does need a good clean and some renovations. The view from the balcony is great and the staff were very... More

Nice building, rooms are really huge, 40 sq meters at least, and really well furnished. The staff is kind and smiley but is not able to really help you as they should (they are not able to call an airline to confirm the ticket for you). Breakfast is not surprising but is good. Please consider 3 important facts:1 the hotel... More

People who want genuine old-world charm but with 21st. century efficiency and plumbing would be happier in Disneyland than here, but for those of us who can appreciate both the rough and the smooth 236 Hurumzi is a great experience. Yes, TIA, This Is Africa, embrace it. We had a wonderful stay here, and received great service from all the... More

Hotel hurumzi is a hotel for those with a special interest for old buildings (200 years) with a lot of stairs (very funny in 30 degrees in the shade). OK restaurant at the roof, whitch is the best to be said about the establishment, the rooms are inconvenient and not very confortable, we moved. No TV and Internett in the... More

This hotel was a fantastic experience, it is like an old castle, a huge spiral staircase with steps as high as my knees. I stayed in the East room & the south room. The east room was great, at first it was weird having lattice as walls and feeling like you are outside, but it was beautiful with a lovely... More

My wife and I stayed here for two nights after several days of extreme relaxation at a beach resort. As city dwellers we found 236 Hurumzi to be a nice introduction to the history and culture of Zanzibar. Our room had really only one permanent wall. As a result we could hear everything going on in the neighborhood and streets... More
