We spent 2 nights in Zanzibar after a lovely 6 days Tanzanian Safari... It is a lovely hotel, with a stunning location, great rooms, amazing service,,, and a lovely sumptous breakfast. It is small, but each room has a great view of the ocean :-). There is a private beach area, where you can take nice walks... I did not... More

We wanted to stay in Stone Town rather than out on an isolated beach but with a swimming pool and luxury. The Serena Inn has great sea views and a small but very nice pool where tea and crepes are served each afternoon. It is a collection of buildings and so has various stairs up and down to get around... More

A good (but not great) hotel, the Serena Hotel in Stone Town has delightful and attractive public spaces. However, the food is only OK and the rooms are a bit small. Having said that, if I were going back to Stone Town, I would likely stay at the Serena Hotel again as I saw nothing better during my visit there.... More

The Zanzibar Serena is set on the tip of Stone Town and offers a perfect location from which to explore all that Stone Town has to offer. A great restaurant and bar is onsite, with many options a short safe walk away - day or night. The hotel has a private beach offsite; however, if you want only beach and... More

The hotel is well located close to the narrow streets of Stone town. The design and rooms are very nice and seaview enjoyable. The hotel staff is very friendly and manager really good. We have been disappointed with the Stone Town tour proposed by the hotel (dont recommand it, you can easily visit by yourself instead of spending 80 $... More

What an absolutely lovely hotel and a great location. You can walk to the Stone City from the hotel. The rooms are clean and beautiful. My room had a balcony with a view of the Indian Ocean. Watch the small boats come and go at sunrise and sunset. The buffet is wonderful with fresh food prepared for you along with... More

we were only able to stay here two nights before heading home. great place to watch the african sunset. location was easy to get to and within walking distance to a number of local stops. Definitely would recommend this place to anyone looking for a nice place to stay in stone town.

We ended our Kenya Safari by visitig Zanzibar. we only stayed one night at this Hotel .before staying at one of the resorts on the South west coast. One of our bags had been lost on route and although we were delayed somewhat,the Hotel staff were superb in trying to sort out our problems. We just wished we could have... More

I have been to my fair share of hotels around the world but Serena Zanzibar stands out as my most memorable holiday experience! From the moment I stepped in to the time I left, I was treated really well. The architecture is very Swahili and transports to a different world, literally!
