Hotel Verde Zanzibar - Azam Luxury Resort and Spa

Hotel mit guter Struktur, mit Blick auf den Jachthafen (hat keinen Zugang zum Strand). Leider war der Pool geschlossen und sie gaben uns die Möglichkeit, den Spa-Pool zu nutzen.

Wenn Sie nicht aufpassen, werden zusätzliche Kosten an der Rezeption berechnet. Und das Personal an der Rezeption war nicht ganz freundlich

個人覺得很一般！

Excellent resort with many activities. Very welcoming staff ( especially Othman) from reception to room service. Very clean hotel. We have enjoyed the experience a lot. Nice comfortable rooms with an amazing view. Good food. Superb spa.

The hotel’s location is ideal, just a short distance from both the city center and the airport, making it convenient for travelers. The stunning views from the hotel are truly captivating, offering a relaxing backdrop whether you’re enjoying a quiet morning or winding down after a long day. The furniture is elegantly simple yet sophisticated, providing comfort without compromising on style. The staff services were exceptional, consistently going above and beyond to ensure a pleasant stay. Their warm hospitality and attention to detail made the experience even more memorable, leaving a lasting impression of comfort and excellent service.

I have been to Hotel Verde several times, twice of which were business related. Unfortunately this time I was quite disappointed with the overall experience. While it wasn’t all bad, there is much more to be expected from such an establishment and I hope the management will take necessary actions to make this place wonderful again. Improvements needed: 1. Maintenance: The hotel seems to be suffering from poor maintenance. My bathroom ceiling had cracks, one of the wardrobe lights in the middle was broken/missing, the iron brought in to my room on request was broken and could not regulate heat therefore almost burning my shirt, the security hook on the iron made it difficult to take advantage of the iron cords length making it almost impossible to iron, the hangers in the wardrobe had a design fault such that you cannot remove them like other hotels to easily hang clothes like suits etc., the toilet left an odor in the whole bathroom after each flush despite closing the lid and the door. These are a few items I noted. 2. Staff Training: While the staff had an overall nice demeanor and very welcoming, they require some more training on providing an above and beyond experience to guests for a hotel of this caliber. A housekeeper promised to restock towels in my room in a short while which ended up being close to an hour and by then I had already used the in room bathrobe as an alternative to not miss an appointment I had. That was sloppy. The reception staff did not have a proper system of tracking what they held for guests especially during a time when multiple high level events are happening at the hotel causing a lot of anguish and confusion. items that were needed by noon 🕛 for a function were only later retrieved by 10pm resulting in a loss of productivity that those items were expected to have. Everyone seemed lost. 3. Slow WiFi: Not sure if it was just my room but the internet speed was on the slower side. These experiences made the stay this time a 2/5 for me. Hope the hotel will improve in the future.

I had not planned to stay at this hotel but spontaneously decided to book it as I wanted to experience Stone Town before I left Zanzibar. It’s a little out of Stone Town so you need to get a taxi ($15 each way). The hotel is very corporate. I think it’s where a lot of the airline crew stay as they kept asking me if I was airline crew. It was also completely empty. I think I was possibly the only guest and the hotel is pretty big. There seemed to be hundreds of staff so you would expect them to be attentive. Unfortunately not. Most of them just stood around chatting to each other. The service overall was pretty disappointing. I even had to bring my own bags to reception where there were loads of staff just standing around doing nothing. That said, I had a large swimming pool completely to myself and the rooms are very comfortable. If you want traditional design, don’t opt for this one. If you just want a bit of modern luxury - this is a great option. If they could sort out the service and even just a few more guests to give it a bit of atmosphere, it would score slightly higher.

The hotel is situated close to the port of Zanzibar is adjacent to a yacht harbor. The hotel faces the ocean and sunset is very beautiful. It is relatively new construction, and light switches sometimes do not make sense, but overall room is clean, spacious and functional. Room had good size bathtub with ample supply of hot water. Apparently, alcohol is not available at this hotel. This does not matter for quick stay, but it may be somewhat underwhelming for those who may be looking for typical beach resort. Talking about beach, this hotel does not have beach, although facing the ocean. Instead it has various pools.
