The hot showers and bottled water… great excuse to stay hydrated… the bedding is to die for and the silence was exactly what I needed

The Neela is tucked in a quiet location in Stone Town. The area was safe, accessible and within walking distance to all key places in Stone Town. The Staff were friendly and professional. The rooms are impeccable, large enough for comfort, super comfortable bed and modern appliances. The remote-controlled lights were great! The Neela has one of the best breakfast a la carte options! The Lobster Benedict was top notch! The Roof Top Bar/Lounge was perfect for sundowners and dinner! Loved It! I would definitely stay here again and again.

The staff were an absolute delight. Such kind, helpful, and wonderful people! Our room was stunningly beautiful - we stayed in the superior king. The stone, finishes, decor, lighting were impeccable. The most beautiful hotel room I’ve ever stayed in. Location is great - in the heart of stone town and off the super busy street so was quieter and felt safe. Some have mentioned the noise from morning prayer, but we did not find this an issue. We could hear the call to prayers around 5am but wasn’t too loud from our room and only lasted a few minutes.

amazing people, amazing interior, best stay during our trip in Zanzibar. next time must have is to take an option with included breakfast, we were sad that we did not choose this option. room nr. 1 was amazing, our best recommendations to our friends and everyone. super location, you can walk for few hours, than come back and go for a walk again, because everything is very close and you do not need to leave the hotel for all day.

the property was exceptional! Never been to a more beautiful hotel. The art was clearly sourced and curated to perfection. The food was exceptionally tasty and even when there was an item on the menu we didn’t enjoy the staff did everything to get our feedback and make the necessary changes. The staff, and the hotel room, next to none. Every staff member met us with a smile. We love Neela, we will be back & tell everyone to come too

We had a wonderful stay at The Neela. We arrived on an early morning flight, and the staff were so accommodating and let us check in early. The room was beautiful and had everything we needed. The freshly baked cookies that were provided every day were a lovely touch. The breakfast was amazing and had a huge variety of items to choose from. We also enjoyed the rooftop bar and had a delicious dinner there as well.

Excellent food with excellent stuff. The hotel gives you more than they promise. Friendly stuff always helping and guiding. The breakfast was best in my life. Greetings to the chef Lance Louise who is amazing person and talented. Also I would like to thank the owner and Amir who made our stay better than it was. The rooms are clean and well-designed. The hotel design is mesmerizing.
