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 #### Mary Oct 7, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I stayed here for 2 nights and had a wonderful experience, from the lovely check-in with hibiscus juice in the gorgeous art filled lobby, to the nicely decorated room with the most modern finishes, to the amazing food! 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 #### 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 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sal Jul 3, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Sal Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Toro Feb 8, 2025 ##### Toro Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotel Rialto](https://www.expedia.ca/Victoria-Hotels-Hotel-Rialto.h3007314.Hotel-Information) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Thailand](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Thailand-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d178-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [All Suites Whitney Manor](https://www.expedia.ca/Kingston-Hotels-All-Suites-Whitney-Manor.h9367411.Hotel-Information) > > [Ramada Hotel and Suites by Wyndham Dubai JBR](https://www.expedia.ca/Dubai-Hotels-Ramada-Hotel-And-Suites-By-Wyndham-Dubai-JBR.h6915556.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Munich - City Centre by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Munich-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Munich-City-Centre.h521148.Hotel-Information) > > [Decameron Isla Coral Guayabitos Ramada All Inclusive Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Rincon-De-Guayabitos-Hotels-Decameron-Isla-Coral-All-Inclusive.h36754420.Hotel-Information) > > [Cheap Hotels in Ottawa](https://www.expedia.ca/Ottawa-Hotels-Cheap-Hotels.0-0-d178296-tCheapHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Port Hope](https://www.expedia.ca/Port-Hope-Hotels.d9375.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Occidental Caribe - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Punta-Cana-Hotels-Occidental-Caribe-All-Inclusive.h897662.Hotel-Information) > > [Royal Islander La Plage in St. Maarten, available April 18-25 for $1400](https://www.expedia.ca/Lowlands-Hotels-Royal-Islander-La-Plage-In-St-Maarten.h48225816.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Twin Butte](https://www.expedia.ca/Twin-Butte-Hotels.d3000381539.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [The Mira Hong Kong Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Kowloon-Hotels-The-Mira-Hong-Kong-Hotel.h20879.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Paradiso, BW Signature Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Naples-Hotels-Hotel-Paradiso.h11171.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Houston (IAH) to San Antonio (SAT)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/iah/sat/houston-to-san-antonio) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Zanzibar Town (ZNZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/znz/toronto-to-zanzibar) > > [Flights from Castlegar (YCG) to Prince George (YXS)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ycg/yxs/castlegar-to-prince-george) > > [Flights from Chicago (ORD) to Atlanta (ATL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ord/atl/chicago-to-atlanta) > > [Flights from New York (JFK) to London (LHR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/jfk/lhr/new-york-to-london) > > [Flights from Winnipeg (YWG) to Bangkok (BKK)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ywg/bkk/winnipeg-to-bangkok) > > [Flights from St. John's (YYT) to Berlin (BER)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyt/ber/st-johns-to-berlin) > > [Flights from Ottawa (YOW) to Goffs (YHZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yow/yhz/ottawa-to-halifax) > > [Flights from Winnipeg (YWG) to Edmonton (YEG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ywg/yeg/winnipeg-to-edmonton) > > [Hahn Air](https://www.expedia.ca/Hahn-Air-Flights.cHR.Travel-Guide-Airlines) ### Cars > [Car rentals in Saskatoon](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Saskatoon.d4117.Car-Rental-Guide) > > [Car rentals in Glasgow](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Glasgow-Intl.d4279367.Car-Rental-Guide) ### Activities > [Things to do in Jacksonville](https://www.expedia.ca/Things-To-Do-In-Jacksonville.d602997.Travel-Guide-Activities) > > [Things to do in Lagos](https://www.expedia.ca/Things-To-Do-In-Lagos.d5292.Travel-Guide-Activities) > > [Things to do in Fihalhohi Island](https://www.expedia.ca/Things-To-Do-In-Fihalhohi-Island.d6084501.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [South America Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/South-America.d6023117.Destination-Travel-Guides) ### General > [Visit Strathroy](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Strathroy.dx6348224)
