喬哈里酒店

We only spent one night at this hotel as a station for our next destination in Zanzibar. We arrived late at night and the check in was very fast and the guy assisted us with luggage. We were also allowed late check out till 12, as the normal check out was 10 in the morning, so very early especially for us that could only have a few hours of sleep. Although the hotel is decorated nicely, everything in it is so old. Very far from the photos. The room is so small you can barely pass at the edge of the bed to go to the other part of the room. There were lots of mosquitos in the room. The bed is big but looked like the sheets weren't so clean. There is an aroma dispenser in the room (probably to cover the smell of an old building) which makes a terrible sound frequently. As a result I could not sleep for even a minute. Just happy to see kids sleeping. Breakfast served was tasty but very tiny portions, even for my low appetite kids. But the girls serving were so polite and nice. Considering this is a third county and the hotel condition, the price of 95$ a night is so very overpriced. It didn't even deserve 35$. Looks like in Zanzibar they work with the philosophy "let us rip you off this time because probably you will not come ever again". Even the visa fee upon arrival tells the same, and for a family of 4 it's quite expensive to pay 200$ only for visa, especially in a country where government does no investment ( leaving bad roads, bad electricity, bad tap water supply ).

Beautiful and comfortable place to stay. Close to many attractions. Loved the ambiance, staff were very friendly. Would definitely come back for future stays. Rooftop restaurant is great for having meals while looking at the sea.

Struttura dell 'hotel molto bella ma decadente. Camere piuttosto sporchine . Vicino all'hoy ci sono locali che fanno musica ad lato volume fino alle 3 del mattino, impossibile dormire. Lo staff però è molto gentile e la terrazza dove si fa colazione molto piacevole.

The behaviour of the hotel staff was really good. They were very cooperative. The ambience was also really good. . The breakfast was good, the location as well - it is near to the beach. Thanks to all Al Johari staffs.

We were booked in for 4 nights and had to find something else after the first. The hotel itself is very traditional and quite beautiful but it has seen better days. We arrived late because our flight was delayed and were met by 2 teenagers with whom we couldn't communicate. They didn't even check us in. We were shown to our room which was very stuffy and quite smelly. The sheets were dirty, the air-conditioning didn't work and there were no light bulbs in the bedside lamps. The bathroom was ok but it needed a good clean too. We asked to change rooms and although the bathroom was better and the air conditioning worked, the sheets were still stained and there were no lightbulbs in the lamps. The room was also stuffy and very noisy so we couldn't open any windows to get some fresh air. To make matters worse there are 2 night clubs very close by popular with the tourists and the noise coming from them is overwhelming. We were unable to sleep/rest from the noise. It stopped around 3 am. The breakfast was good and the rooftop is lovely. The beach is very close by but it wasn't worth the stress of not being able to rest. WE found something else the next morning and checked out immediately. Internet was also very difficult to access unless you were in the lobby (small area) or on the terrace. For anyone with mobility issues, the stairs and steep and narrow and there is no lift. The hotel leaves a lot to be desired. Not worth it.

I didn’t stay at the hotel but went for a massage at the spa with Maryam and I want to highly y recommend her to any women whom want some pampering or just a good massage. Maryam was fantastic. Happy to change pressure as needed, welcoming and a delight in general. The room and atmosphere was Also lovely. Maryam is only massaging women so I feel Should be supported in her endeavors.
