Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort
Reliable hot water and cold AC made the stay very comfortable. The in-room safe didn’t work but not a deal-breaker. No AC or fan running in common areas (ie. Lobby) although the machines are standing there. Same for restaurant, although they did turn them on as soon as I sat down for breakfast and cooled quickly, so maybe that’s a plus for eco-conservation!

Satisfactory hotel

The room and bathroom were fine, the AC, fan and TV all worked, and breakfast was good. The location was quiet and the staff was helpful. We walked a lot and the streets around the hotel felt safe. There is nothing particularly exciting about the hotel, but there is nothing to complain about either.

We loved the staff at this hotel

We booked this hotel because it was located in the city centre, in walking distance from the Zanzibar ferry. However, it is not in the "tourist" hotel area, and is more suited to business accomodation. We were woken up too early by loudspeakers from the mosque next door, but that's not the hotel's fault. Room was small but cheerful and clean. Bed could use a new mattress. There was a problem with smelly drains eminating from the shower, but the shower was hot and we kept the bathroom door closed. Aircon worked, but we couldn't set the temperature to what we wanted. It seemed stuck on 18 degrees. The locale was a bit scary from a security point of view, so we used the hotel's taxi service to take us to the ferry terminal, and that was fine. We had dinner in the restaurant and it was truly wonderful curry! They have an extensive dinner menu catering to most tastes (breakfast was not so extensive) and we were most happy with the offerings, including wine. What we loved about this hotel were the friendly staff. The manager was exceptional, and really went out of his way to ensure we were happy. This fact increased our satisfaction markedly with this hotel. They also have 24 hours service, and we had no trouble when we checked out at 4.30am. We also had our laundry done (quite a lot of dirty clothes after safaris) and they came back same day with cleaned and pressed clothes for us at very moderate prices.

Great Value----Safe Haven

Outside is pretty rough but security at the front door & lovely reception area make you instantly welcome. My room was very good,air-con,ceiling fan,TV,fridge,tea and coffee with room service to back up any other needs. Lovely clean bathroom/shower with lots of fresh clean towels and shampoos and soaps.Top floor has the Zebra sports bar with huge screens & icy cold beer. On mezzanine level was the restaurant & what a great spot it is. Both managers, Hotel(sorry did not get name)& F&B (Murari Prasad)made a point of approaching & saying Hi, each & every visit making it a pleasure for a lone traveler to go for meals. Cannot fault the great wait staff who seem to delight in going out of their way to make you feel welcome & a friend not a customer. Meals were always well presented & filling & both food and drink are great value. Have to say that housemaids were always on the ball,plenty of bathroom top ups as well as waters etc thanks ladies for your service. Last but certainly not least the beaut ladies on reception who never stopped smiling,always had advice,directions & welcome greeting for me. I just loved one comment when I arrived back after a long sweaty walk in high humidity "Peter you are Raining" lolol. The Nikko is also in a great spot for the Zanzibar Ferry All in all a great value, clean, safe Hotel in the middle of a big bustling city, well worth considering if you want some atmosphere & city buzz.
