ROOMS

Zenji Hotel has 9 rooms.

Room types: Single, Double, Suite.

Every room has a different atmosphere referring to the rich Zanzibar heritage and culture but all with Western comfort.

Each room has a celing fan and air conditioning. Depending on your taste and choice you can choose between a room with balcony, a self-contained room or one of our two suite rooms.

In the rooms in the front of the hotel (Room of Wonder, Treasuer Chamber -both first floor- and 1001 Nights -second floor) you are able to watch and enjoy local life of the Zanzibarians. If you prefer a more quiet room we suggest the rooms in the back of the hotel: 'Sense of Jasmine' and 'Spice Corner'.

OUR OPINION:

Samll, family run hotel where you will feel like at home! Great location - just around the ferry terminal and five minutes walk to the heart of Stone Town. All rooms are nice and clean. Some rooms have shared but clean bathroom, please contact us in case you dont want to have shared batroom. Suites are spacious with new bathrooms ensuite. Recommend every room! However rooms looking over street are a bit noisy at night. No alcohol served in this hotel.

That's where an Off-Beat Kenya Safari comes...
A first Kenya Safari usually centres on the big names. For instance, lions, elephants, the Maasai Mara and the excitement of seeing everything for the first time. A second trip feels different. There's less pressure to complete a checklist. There's more room to notice the small stuff: how a herd...
