Hotel details

Useful information about Zanzibar Serena Hotel before you book

Idyllically situated on the sea-front of ancient Stone Town, flanked by an exotic mix of sultans' palaces, Portuguese forts, ancient dhow harbours and bright bazaars, the hotel is a haven of tranquillity and opulence amongst the bustle of one of Africa's most ancient and most enchanting towns. A member of the prestigious Small Luxury Hotels of the World, the hotel has been styled to represent the epitome of Swahili style, ethnic elegance and Arabic opulence.

This charming hotel offers a total of 39 rooms. Facilities include a kids' club, café, bar, restaurant and room service.

After the heat and dust of Stone Town, the rooms in this hotel are havens of cool and shade. With high ceilings, shuttered windows and cool, white walls, they are constructed in the traditional Swahili manner, whereby the size is dictated by the length of the mangrove poles that make up their ceilings.

Adorned with arched niches, antique plates and brass lamps, and featuring traditionally carved furniture with basket weave and ceramic inlay, the rooms are predominantly royal blue and white. Four-poster, net-draped beds dominate, offset by delicate bedside tables, vanity units and louvre doors onto the balconies, some of which feature massive free-standing hammocks.

In-room amenities include an en suite bathroom, hairdryer, satellite cable TV, a safe, minibar and individually regulated air conditioning. The hotel has an outdoor swimming pool and poolside snack bar.


With a stay at Zanzibar Serena Hotel, you'll be centrally located in Zanzibar Town, steps from Nakupenda Beach and Shangani Beach. This beach hotel is 1 mi (1.5 km) from Slave Market and 1.1 mi (1.7 km) from Hamamni Persian Baths.

Make yourself at home in one of the 51 individually furnished guestrooms, featuring minibars and LCD televisions. Rooms have private balconies.

Complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected, and satellite programming is available for your entertainment. Bathrooms feature separate bathtubs and showers, designer toiletries, and hair dryers.

Featured amenities include a 24-hour business center, complimentary newspapers in the lobby, and dry cleaning/laundry services. Planning an event in Zanzibar Town?

This hotel has 621 square feet (58 square meters) of space consisting of conference space and a meeting room. A roundtrip airport shuttle is provided for a surcharge (available 24 hours), and free self parking is available onsite.

This is a lovely hotel in a historic building. It’s walking distance to all the sights of Stonetown. Our room was clean and comfortable. The balcony looked out to the Indian Ocean. Staff were very helpful and friendly, particularly the receptionist who helped us with booking our transfer to the airport at the end of our stay.

Was suppose to get a bottle of wine- did not get. Had to schlep an ok. Bottle of wine back to the us. Almost not worth it. Also 10 dollar credit was not honored u til u brought t it up. I get asked to hire their colleagues for tour guide (which was fine, but I felt like a source of commodity). It did t make me feel very good. Also did t feel so good getting feeling somewhat whenever I was buying wine when I was by myself in

Overpriced for what is on offer. Room wasn’t ready for check-in time and even though we had to wait 1.5 hours to check-in, they would not provide a late checkout when the hotel wasn’t at full capacity. For the room price, you would be better off staying at the much nicer hotel next door.

Lovely property in a quiet corner of Stonetown. Great swimming pool. Historic quality of hotel added a charming feel. Most rooms overlook the ocean. The amenities were complete and the room was very comfortable. Spend a little extra to get an outside balcony or verandah. The staff was wonderful and helpful. There are lots of restaurants nearby. I can't speak for the food at the on property restaurant since I had to leave early and skipped the breakfast. I would definitely stay here again on a Stonetown visit.

Upgrade or acknowledged for VIP on Expedia like usual . At check out I asked about bottle of wine and 10 usd credit . They forgot the wine and they usually give a fruit basket instead of 10 dollars credit . I didn’t receive the fruit basket after discussing they agreed to take 10usd off the restaurant bill. I rather be given the options stated when booked then ask for it . Also no elevator . One party member couldn’t use the stairs and this we didn’t realize . We had lunch at hotel and the food was amazing . The staff is not terrible just not aware of what’s going on . Also we booked the same morning for the room why there was confusion maybe . location is good . Property is old . It’s on the beach which is a plus . Breakfast is good .

The hotel location is excellent and within a walking distance from every thing you want to see and visit in stone town. The hotel staff are very friendly and helpful. The rooms are dilapidated and in need of renovation. Bathroom facility are very old. Mattresses have passed their useful service life by years! I booked a room with a sea view. The bathroom in the room I was offered was in a miserable shape. Rusty bathtub and faucet. When I complained to the receptionist, they moved me to a room with renovated shower but no view. I complained again and I was moved the following day to a “better rooms” with a view and partially renovated bathroom.
In a nutshell, this not a 5-star hotel AT ALL. In it’s current condition, should be 2-3 stars max. To be noted that there are no elevators in case of any movement challenge. For the price I paid, I could have gotten a much better deal elsewhere. It was my first time in Zanzibar and next time I know better. I will NOT stay there again.

Lovely exotic, historic seaside hotel!

Our group of 4 (2 American couples) stayed 4 nights at the Zanzibar Serena in July, 2019, as a follow-up to a Serengeti photo safari. The hotel is right on the Indian Ocean and gorgeous, with loads of character. Our rooms had fabulous ocean views from the rooms themselves and from the spacious lanais, which had very comfortable chairs, tables, and even hammocks! Our rooms were very clean. The food was excellent. A delicious daily buffet breakfast was included in the price. We had breakfast while viewing the sea, watching young people playing soccer on the beach and older people walking & doing yoga. On the weekend, there was a local group performing Zanzibarian music -- clearly much influenced by middle eastern culture and excellent. We had arranged several tours of the area in advance, and added another at the hotel. Lots to see in Stone Town and on the island! There was a nice-looking pool (that we didn't use), and a well-stocked gift shop. We asked for and received a late check-out on our last day. The management was very accommodating. If you want to have dinner on their rooftop restaurant, you'll need to make a reservation in advance. We didn't, and we couldn't get in; but we just walked next door to the Hyatt and had one of our dinners there. We loved the Zanzibar Serena Hotel and highly recommend it.

Amazing Experience !! !

From the moment we walked in everything was perfect. All staff are friendly and helpful always waiting to assist you with anything you may need whether it is adventure recommendations or translations. The room was huge and beautifully made up. There was a wraparound balcony with beach views and huge Zanzibar style bed with net--although there were no bugs at all so hakuna matata (no worries) there. The food at the on site restaurants was well seasoned mmm so delicious. I recommend the seafood platter (with lobster, prawns, and calamari mmm) as well as any of the other meals since I'm sure I ate everything.

Overall everything was perfect and I cannot wait to go back to Zanzibar and stay at the Serena and I will definitely stay at a Serena hotel in all of their other locations as I explore the African continent. Thank you so much!

I had a fantastic experience at the Zanzibar Serena Hotel. As a solo female traveler, I wanted lodging where I felt safe and central and the Serena offered both of those things. The rooms were beautifully decorated, the restaurant delicious and the service impeccable. Though slightly more expensive than other options, I utilized their concierge to book activities and tours on the island and was provided with great guides, transportation and interesting insights. I would definitely return to this hotel. My only gripe with the entire stay was that the hotel shuttle I booked didn't show at the airport - I ended up getting a local taxi to take me to the hotel which was much less expensive and just as safe.

Great location. Expensive.

We were only here for one night. Our room was very expensive, but it had an amazing view and the location could not have been better. Good place to stay for one night to be close to the airport or wander around Stone Town.
We tried to have dinner at the terrace restaurant outdoors and there were bugs hopping all over the place. It was so distracting that we decided to leave. When we told one of the employees about the bugs, he said \"they do not bite.\" We left and had an amazing dinner at the hotel across the street for half the price and no bugs.
Also, we booked a taxi to the airport when we checked in and when we tried to leave, it had not been arranged for us. The hotel fixed the problem, but an expensive hotel should be on top of those things.
