Z Hotel is a spectacular tropical Oasis in Zanzibar! The staff, especially Julia was fabulous, the grounds and decor were beautiful and the food was delicious! I would stay here everytime I would be lucky enough to visit Zanzibar and I will tell everyone I know not to look any further than Z Hotel.

Great property. Looking around at the other Nungwi properties, I’m glad we chose to stay there. Very safe with security, amazing pool and the staff is beyond kind.

We stayed for three nights following our African Safari. We loved the property and would like to have stayed longer. The staff were delightful, the food was very good and our room with a sea views was on the small side but very comfortable with a good sized deck for all our lounging. We saw a number of properties along the beach and nothing compared to this lovely boutique style property.

We spent 5 nights here, really nice hotel and the staff where all lovely. Really helpful. The hotel was very clean and secure. Pool was nice just right temp to cool down. Beach was a bit too busy so wouldn't describe it as a private beach. I would definitely stay here again.

The hotel is in a stunning location on a beautiful stretch of beach, best position to see the sunset. Property has a stylish decor and is perfectly maintained. Service is great. The infinity pool is amazing. We got an upgrade to the suite that was very much appreciated. Thank you for the amazing stay and we will come back!

Unfortunatly the beach was not private and there were à Lot of logo's who was just sitting and bothering the tourist to do some activities.

The two standouts of the Z Hotel were the friendly and gracious staff (shout out to Emiliana and Latifa), and the superb seafood restaurant Sexy Fish. I ate there twice and on both occasions the recommendations were spot on. The free breakfast buffet was also excellent. Very cool interior design, with liberal use of tropical themed wallpaper mixed with African fabrics in common areas and guest rooms. Very nice infinity pool overlooking the beach. There are lounge chairs by the pool and on the beach for hotel guests. The beach itself is the classic powdered sugar sand and warm aquamarine water, though at times felt a bit congested because of the restaurant projecting out from the hotel on one side of the beach, the small boats anchored in the water, and the traffic of jet skis and horse rides in the water. It's a nice stroll along the beach, but be prepared to deal with locals hawking souvenirs and tours. I found them friendly and not overly aggressive. If you're looking to buy souvenirs, the hotel is walking distance to a bunch of shops. There are also other restaurants within walking distance if you want to sample food other than what the hotel offers.

I recently stayed at The Z Hotel Zanzibar as a solo female traveler, and I can’t recommend it enough! From the moment I arrived, I felt completely welcomed and at ease. The staff were incredibly polite, attentive, and genuinely warm, making my stay feel personal. The food and drinks were delicious—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Whether it was a leisurely breakfast overlooking the ocean or a cocktail at the rooftop bar at sunset, every meal felt like an experience in itself. The variety and quality were impressive, with something to suit every craving. The facilities were just as great. The pool area was pristine and perfect for unwinding, while the semi-private beach was just steps away, offering stunning turquoise waters and soft white sand. The hotel itself is beautifully designed, with a boutique feel that balances luxury with laid-back island vibes. Most importantly, I felt completely safe and secure throughout my stay. The staff were attentive without being intrusive, and the overall atmosphere was relaxed yet well-managed. As a solo traveler, this made all the difference—I could fully enjoy my time without any worries. Whether you're traveling alone, as a couple, or with friends, The Z Hotel is an absolute gem. I left feeling refreshed, grateful, and I am very much looking forward to visiting again.

Kjempebra beliggenhet og velutstyrt hotell. Privat Strand er behagelig. Vennlig personale og god atmosfære.

Fantastisk beliggenhet, rett på stranden. Relativt små rom men flott innredet og svært rene. Bassengområdet er perfekt og frokost restaurant er helt unik - maten er ok, men ikke fantastisk. Når det kommer til service så ha god tid. Alt tar laaaang tid - så ikke vært for tørst eller for sulten når du bestiller. Mye personale på hele hotellet og de fleste er ganske så vennlige men det varierer. Godt utvalg av restauranter rett utenfor hotellet også - dog prisnivå likt både på og utenfor hotel. Jeg vil si ganske dyrt for det meste. Anbefales på det sterkeste

Oppholdet var fantastisk! Utrulig flott utsikt fra hotelrommet. Vennlige og hjelpsomme ansatte. Frokosten var veldig bra med et godt utvalg. Bra utvalg i lunsj og middagsretter i restauranten også. Bassengområdet var veldig velholdt, og servicen der var upåklagelig. Hotellet ligger flott til ved stranden.

Es ist ein kleines Hotel ( 40 Zimmer) das alles bietet was man sich wünscht: schöner Strand, Spa, Fitnessstudio, gute Restaurants. Die Mitarbeiter und sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Zum empfehlen ist die Touren beim Hotel zu buchen. Outside könnte etwas günstiger sein allerdings mit weniger Rücksicht auf Sicherheit.

Fantastisk opphold. Nydelig basseng og strand-område, god mat med rikholdig meny. 2 restauranter og rooftop-bar. Servicen var av beste sort, alle blid, hyggelig og behjelpelig med det meste. Sikkerheten var også høyt ivaretatt med vakter overalt. God plassering med gåavstand til det meste av restauranter, barer og shopping i området. Rommet var litt lite, men så er det ikke der man oppholder seg heller. Eneste jeg har å utsette var at sengene var litt harde.

Helt fantastisk sted om du vurderer å bo i Nungwi området. Absolutt alt var bra med oppholdet - eksepsjonell service: veldig hyggelige, respektfulle og profesjonelle de som jobbet der. Utrolig fint interiør og eksteriør, veldig stilig og harmonisk. Rommene var store og komfortable, god seng og gode puter. Hele hotellet og rommene var veldig rent og hygienisk. Renholderne var også utrolig skjønne og hyggelige! Maten på stedet er veldig god. Bra frokost med greit utvalg. Maten vi fikk ved bassenget var også noe av det bedre vi spiste på hele turen til Zanzibar! Gymmet var også et av de bedre jeg har opplevd på hotell! Bra utstyr og veldig rent. Rett ved stranden. God location for området. Anbefales!
