The hotel is new. We were walking by and it immediately caught our attention. Out of curiosity, we asked if it was possible to make a reservation, and to our surprise, we were offered the chance to stay as one of the first guests, as it had just opened for a test run before the official opening. The hotel is beautifully located – right by the ocean, surrounded by greenery, which instantly puts you in a relaxed mood. The rooms are spacious, very clean, and decorated with taste. The bed was very comfortable, and the terrace overlooking the garden and the water was perfect for a morning coffee. The staff deserves a special mention – always smiling and helpful. It’s the kind of place you just want to come back to. Comfort, peace, and beautiful views – I definitely recommend it!

Very good breakfast selection with fresh fruits and juice. If we ever return to Zanzibar we'd definitely choose this hotel again. Right on the beach, very secure, superb swimming pool, with the best restaurant in the area. The staff is always smiling and friendly. Everything was spotless clean. The owners were extremely nice, really made us feel at home like family. Thanks for everything!

Fantastic location of the hotel in the middle of a local village at the beach. Perfect host with the warmest welcome you can imagine and the way every single staff members treat you makes you feel king and queen. Amazing white beach in front of you with the magical sound of the waves of the Indian Ocean makes it a paradise and a must-stay when you are on the beautiful island of Zanzibar

I booked this place for a special birthday and the hotel and its staff exceeded all of our expectations! They made us many surprises and everyone was so friendly and always smiling. The staff truly made the hotel special! The food was the best we had in all of Tanzania. Especially the fruity salad with seafood! We also loved the live music show during dinner, really cool music with a local vibe. And of course the pool area is great for relaxing. Asante sana once again!

Zanzibar Queen Hotel

Hotel in Matemwe

Offering a year-round outdoor pool ,a spa centre and a diving centre in the neighbouring hotel, Zanzibar Queen Hotel is set in Matemwe in the Zanzibar Region.

A
Ala&Suavek
From
Netherlands
After a week long safari on the mainland, we relaxed and rested for a few days in the Zanzibar Queen Hotel and it was a perfect decision. The managing staff (Regina, Darek) were exceptionally welcoming and dedicated a lot of their time to make us feel at home, sharing some interesting info about the island. The reception/restaurant/cleaning staff were great too. The hotel has a big and deep pool surrounded by a beautiful garden with plenty of places to rest on sunbeds and comfy armchairs. There is a row of sunbeds at the beach and, while we have not used them, it seemed that the locals are asked not to bother people using the hotel sunbeds. And the beach... super wide (at low tide) with totally white sand, absolutely gorgeous. Sea urchins make it a bit difficult to enjoy the water but the hotel provides rubber shoes for the guests so at high tide it's just fine to swim near the shore. Breakfast is a buffet with tonnes of options including great coffee. Lunch can be ordered a la carte but there is also a daily special menu for those who want something extra. Dinner menu changes daily as well but there is the possibility to order something else from the regular menu. All food we tried was very very good! The hotel organises some free activities for the guests every day. Yoga in the mornings, reef walks at low tide, some singing and dancing performances in the evenings. You can also get bikes with relatively wide tyres which are great for biking down the beach. Overall, we had excellent vacation and can strongly recommend the hotel!

    Right on the beach, wonderful little place right next to the One Ocean dive centre. Stayed in the annex right next to the second pool, like our own private oasis. Very helpful staff and good food. The beach is wonderful for walks. Very peaceful and with the added bonus of live music or DJ most nights. Wonderful memories.
