The staff was incredible and went out of their way to ensure our stay was memorable. The hotel was exceptionally clean. The food and drinks are amazing. We could walk everywhere including markets, hurumzi, and forodhani gardens. Thank you to all the wonderful staff who made us want to come back again soon! ##### Meryam Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Farai Oct 8, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I loved the design language of the hotel.

Only ate lunch out as I’m sure there is no better food on the island! Beautiful kind attentive staff. Lovely French press in the room with Tanzanian coffee. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! ##### Mary Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Jul 27, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Would Visit Again, Amazing Hotel Beautiful property, excellent staff. I was pleasantly surprised by this hotel and how organized and clean it was. It was a beautiful hotel. I'm not often impressed but this hotel was lovely. Couple things I would have changed if I was being nitpicky: hot water did not last long and bathrooms are open concept (no door, making it hard for families to share a room and have privacy). Even with these small things, I would go back to Neela in a heart beat. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gaye Feb 2, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Excellent staff, a place more than a home.., Worth every penny spent . In the heart of Stone town. Very pleasant and helpful staff. Spacy rooms very comfartable bed and pillow. Tastefully decorrated. We stayed for 3 nights and came back at the end of our trip to stay for our last night. They welcomed us back saying welcome back to your home. There was a lovely card in the room saying how happy they are to see us back in thrşr hotel. All in all very well run luxury boutique hotel. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/190CEE26DE07CEB48EBA76D308CDB5515B5E5C211738480637208.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/6056B581BF4DC856375DDC10AFB0ACABFBD2C4501738480638809.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/93672BC22568A557754B7395F225BD42945748921738480655983.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/FC2C4C168B59747BB821748FDECF70C9DBC27E4A1738480588369.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Gaye Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Evan Nov 21, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The Neela is truly a hidden gem nestled in the heart of the bustling Stone Town. From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the quality and attention to detail at this remarkable hotel. The food was nothing short of outstanding—honestly, some of the best we’ve ever had. Every meal felt like a fine dining experience, with flavors that left a lasting impression. The staff were exceptional—attentive, warm, and always ready to go the extra mile to ensure a memorable stay. Their service was impeccable, making us feel right at home. One of the highlights of our visit was the rooftop cocktail bar. The drinks were absolutely top-tier—some of the best cocktails we’ve ever had, with unique flavors and expert craftsmanship. All in all, The Neela exceeded every expectation, offering luxury, incredible service, and an unforgettable experience in Stone Town. Highly recommended! ##### Evan Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Kathleen Oct 6, 2024 Liked: Property conditions & facilities Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Lovely hotel, not on water, serious security probl This is a lovely hotel, very comfortable bed, convenient location in Stone Town. The staff is very nice. However, we will never stay there again as we had major security problems. Items of ours were hidden so the staff could keep them once we left (we found my husband's had, lost my $80 sandals which were not in my suitcase at the next stop. Much worse, all the credit cards in my wallet were photographed and $20,000 charges attempted, which results in ALL my cards being cancelled. I would have been totally out of luck when I got to the next destination and had to rent a car. ##### Kathleen Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Guest Houses Dalvay](https://www.expedia.ca/Dalvay-Guest-Houses.d3000451691-aaGuestHouses.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Green Hotels in Zaandam](https://www.expedia.ca/Zaandam-Hotels-Green-Sustainable.0-0-d5361-tGreenSustainable.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Guest Houses Long Island](https://www.expedia.ca/Long-Island-Guest-Houses.d6046209-aaGuestHouses.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Condo Rentals Hemlock Valley](https://www.expedia.ca/Hemlock-Valley-Condos.d6352276-aaCondos.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Beach Hotel in Lapu-Lapu](https://www.expedia.ca/Lapu-Lapu-Hotels-Beach-Hotel.0-0-d9729-tBeachHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Family Hotels in New Aurora](https://www.expedia.ca/New-Aurora-New-Orleans-Hotels-Family-Hotel.0-n553248635976471598-0-tFamilyHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Il Sorriso](https://www.expedia.ca/Florence-Hotels-Il-Sorriso.h34817878.Hotel-Information) > > [Lodges Cloud Lake](https://www.expedia.ca/Cloud-Lake-Lodges.d553248634999276835-aaLodges.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Ramada by Wyndham Statesville](https://www.expedia.ca/Hickory-Hotels-Ramada-By-Wyndham-Statesville.h28056.Hotel-Information) > > [Meet Secret](https://www.expedia.ca/Donggang-Hotels-Meet-Secret.h50536441.Hotel-Information) > > [Condo Rentals Indian Rocks Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Indian-Rocks-Beach-Condos.d8188-aaCondos.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [B&B Holyrood](https://www.expedia.ca/Holyrood-Bed-And-Breakfast.d3000347075-aaBedAndBreakfast.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [B&B Hunter Valley](https://www.expedia.ca/Hunter-Valley-Bed-And-Breakfast.d6034269-aaBedAndBreakfast.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Inns Sycamore](https://www.expedia.ca/Sycamore-Inns.d55993-aaInns.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) ### Flights > [Flights from Masset (ZMT) to Richmond (YVR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/zmt/yvr/masset-to-vancouver) > > [Flights from Beijing (PEK) to Hulhulé (MLE)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/pek/mle/beijing-to-male) > > [Flights from Mississauga (YYZ) to Guarulhos (GRU)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/gru/toronto-to-sao-paulo) > > [Flights from Butte (BTM) to Kathmandu (KTM)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/btm/ktm/butte-to-kathmandu) > > [Malindo Air Auckland (AKL) to New Delhi (DEL) flights](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flight-routes/batik-air-from-auckland-intl-to-indira-gandhi-intl/od/akl/del) > > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Mississauga (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/yyz/calgary-to-toronto) > > [Flights from Saskatoon (YXE) to Mississauga (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yxe/yyz/saskatoon-to-toronto) > > [Flights from Bamburgh](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/181022/flights-from-bamburgh) > > [Flights from Los Angeles (LAX) to Flushing (LGA)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/lax/lga/los-angeles-to-new-york) > > [Flights from Ottawa (YOW) to Mississauga (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yow/yyz/ottawa-to-toronto) ### Activities > [Things to do in Alpharetta](https://www.expedia.ca/Things-To-Do-In-Alpharetta.d5944.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Sharm El Sheikh Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Sharm-El-Sheikh.d3274.Destination-Travel-Guides)
