Al Minar feels like my home-away-from-home after 7 times to Zanzibar (I run a nonprofit working on the mainland). Very cozy rooms in an incredible Shangani location surrounding by high-rent luxury hotels that cost many times as much. Staff is wonderful and service excellent, steps away from beach and great dining options. ##### Daniel Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mary Nov 30, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Lovely! I had a lovely stay at Al-Minar. It is off the main road, but easy to find, unlike some hotels in the labyrinth of historic Stonetown.The room (while a bit on the small side) was beautifully decorated, with a very comfortable bed and a good shower. I loved having a mini-fridge and kettle in my room to make my own coffee! Breakfast was excellent, and all the staff were OUTSTANDING! Welcoming, helpful, and friendly. Highly recommended. ##### Mary Stayed 1 night in Nov 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Daniel Nov 23, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Al Minar has been my favorite stay in Zanzibar for 5 trips since 2015.

My original tour to Prison Island was abruptly cancelled without notice one day. So I asked the front desk if they knew of any tour guides. They immediately hooked me up with a great guide and matched the price of my original tour. Facilities were good. My only issue was that the hot water only lasted for a few minutes (didn’t go straight to cold though), but it was already so hot outside that lukewarm water actually felt pretty nice. ##### SM Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Tshepo Feb 24, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### A well spent stay It was a pleasant experience Very friendly staff Juma and Sebastian.....bery helpful guys ##### Tshepo Stayed 7 nights in Feb 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Daniel Feb 6, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Affordable gem in an upscale hotel area Always an awesome choice for location, service, and room quality, this was my 4th stay and probably not my last. ##### Daniel Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Jan 7, 2020 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great location, friendly staff, but not perfect Located very conveniently in a very good spot in Stone Town. Staff very friendly, especially Suleiman, big thanks to him! Room cozy, a nice rooftop for breakfast. Good value overall. However, small drawbacks. Towels not fully clean, the hotel could upgrade its laundry service. Another small complaint was, that even though we were promised a breakfast box (and we confirmed this again before going to bed) as our flight was leaving really early, it had been forgotten and we didn't get breakfast. As Zanzibar Airport is missing decent breakfast options, we were left hungry. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Hyong bok Dec 9, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Good accomodation Friendly and clean ##### Hyong bok Stayed 1 night in Dec 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Hyong bok Dec 1, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Recommendable hotel Cost benifit analyis is the best.

Totally recommended. ##### Douglas Stayed 1 night in Sep 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tino Aug 17, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Superb customer service Customer service at the hotel is excellent. The hotel is located at the heart of the old town so all sights, shops and restaurants are within the walking distance. The two different rooms I used during my stay both had a good air conditioning, comfortable bed and all other necessary facilities. Breakfast was fresh and filled the stomach well. I fully recommend the Al-Minar hotel for a visit to Unguja island if you seek a reasonably priced hotel with good service. ##### Tino Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2019 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotels in Andheri West](https://www.expedia.ca/Andheri-West-Mumbai-Hotels.0-n6153495-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Pousada Maravilha Fernando de Noronha](https://www.expedia.ca/Fernando-De-Noronha-Hotels-Pousada-Maravilha-Fernando-De-Noronha.h15378697.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Vina del Mar](https://www.expedia.ca/Vina-Del-Mar-Hotels.d6053651.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Cabin Rentals British Columbia](https://www.expedia.ca/British-Columbia-Cabins.d11117-aaCabins.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Hotels in Garmisch-Partenkirchen](https://www.expedia.ca/Garmisch-Partenkirchen-Hotels.d5412.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Royalton Punta Cana, An Autograph Collection All-Inclusive Resort & Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Punta-Cana-Hotels-Royalton-Punta-Cana-Resort-And-Casino-All-Inclusive.h889938.Hotel-Information) > > [Super 8 by Wyndham Barrie South](https://www.expedia.ca/Barrie-Hotels-Super-8-By-Wyndham-Barrie.h1668451.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Snohomish](https://www.expedia.ca/Snohomish-Hotels.d184147.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Steigenberger ALDAU Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Hurghada-Hotels-Steigenberger-ALDAU-Beach-Hotel.h1680003.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [flights from wawa airport](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/airports/yxz/flights-from-wawa-airport) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Vancouver (YVR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/yvr/toronto-to-vancouver) > > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Incheon (ICN)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/icn/calgary-to-seoul) > > [flights from loreto intl airport](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/airports/lto/flights-from-loreto-intl-airport) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Kastela (SPU)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/spu/toronto-to-split) > > [Flights from Natales (PNT) to Santiago (SCL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/pnt/scl/puerto-natales-to-santiago) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Manila (MNL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/mnl/toronto-to-manila) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Montreal (YUL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/yul/toronto-to-montreal) > > [Flights from Zürich (ZRH) to Belp (BRN)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/zrh/brn/zurich-to-bern) > > [Flights from Montego Bay (MBJ) to Dieppe (YQM)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/mbj/yqm/montego-bay-to-moncton) ### Cars > [Car rentals in Bathurst](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Bathurst.d6057899.Car-Rental-Guide) > > [Car rentals in Toronto](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Toronto.d178314.Car-Rental-Guide) ### Activities > [Things to do in Burlington](https://www.expedia.ca/Things-To-Do-In-Burlington.d7149.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Camps Bay Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Camps-Bay-Beach-Camps-Bay.d6169811.Vacation-Attraction) > > [One World Trade Center](https://www.expedia.ca/One-World-Trade-Center-Manhattan.d6162310.Vacation-Attraction) > > [Greece Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Greece.d67.Destination-Travel-Guides) ### General > [Visit Chilliwack Proper](https://www.expedia.ca/Chilliwack-Chilliwack-Proper.dx553248635976398820) > > [Visit Machu Picchu](https://www.expedia.ca/Machu-Picchu.dx178042)
