One of thee best stays during my time in Zanzibar

There was no pool and aircon was only in room, possibly in the resto downstairs, but in no common areas. Lovely staff, good food, nice decor and art. Lots of stairs. Airport shuttle was reasonable and good.

Best hotel in Stonetown!
Fantastic stay! Such a lovely gem tucked away in a convenient and easy-to-access location. Staff was so friendly and helpful, rooms effortlessly embody understated luxury, and the restaurant, Breadfruit, is divine.
Christine
Stop looking and just book at the Neela. It’s perfect. We were so comfortable, the food was fantastic, and the staff friendly and professional. I will definitely be recommending to all of my friends. Thank you!
Farai
I loved the design language of the hotel. Very unique. Beautiful rooms. I didn't like the food though
Mary
I stayed here for 2 nights and had a wonderful experience, from the lovely check-in with hibiscus juice in the gorgeous art filled lobby, to the nicely decorated room with the most modern finishes, to the amazing food! Only ate lunch out as I’m sure there is no better food on the island! Beautiful kind attentive staff. Lovely French press in the room with Tanzanian coffee. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
Verified traveler
Totally beautiful hotel - the food, decor and how modern it is. A pure gem within Stonetown
Meryam
This is a gorgeous luxury hotel in the heart of stone town. The staff was incredible and went out of their way to ensure our stay was memorable. The hotel was exceptionally clean. The food and drinks are amazing. We could walk everywhere including markets, hurumzi, and forodhani gardens. Thank you to all the wonderful staff who made us want to come back again soon!
Jeffrey
Staff were wonderful, including but by no means limited to: Tatu, Pendael, Pili, Ayubu, Zainaband Celestine. The room and facilities are beautiful and well kept. Rooftop restaurant/bar is a wonderful place.
