The boutique in the hotel had very nice high end clothing and other neat stuff. The rooms are small but very nicely done and great bathroom amenities.

The only feedback would be, please install a wardrobe to hang clothes and install a small shelf right next to the shower so that guests can easily reach their shower gel and sponge when having a shower. ##### Opubo Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Mary Nov 8, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We were greeted with a smile each day and the staff went out of their way to make us feel at home and comfortable. We arrived very early and they were kind enough to get us into teh room prior to check in. Only complaint was the water cut out briefly while showering on occasion as we were on the 3rd floor and teh plumbing is a bit dated. Wonderful rooftop restaurant with great food and drinks. We also enjoyed the rooftop pool although it was a little chilly. Hotel is close to everything and we felt very safe. ##### Mary ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller Jun 28, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Was on the first floor, streets were extremely noisy till very early on in the morning. Music & noise. No lift but staff did help with bags. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Bathroom is a wet room so whole floor is soaked. Food & cocktails were nice. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Emma Jul 30, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The rooms are clean and the shower is amazing. The restaurant is also really nice. The only downside was the noise. We were on the first floor (one above ground level) and it was so loud from the street. We could hear phones ringing from the street below and everyone’s conversations, yelling, and music from a nearby restaurant. It kept us up at night. Other than that, it was really clean, the rooftop bar and pool were really nice and the staff was super friendly. ##### Emma Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nydia Dec 6, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Thank you Upendo Staff The view from the rooftop pool and the location of the hotel is amazing. Every single staff person I came in contact with at Upendo provided exceptional customer service. By the end of my one week stay, the staff felt like family. I was so sad to leave. I was so well taken care of. Kassim crafted the most delicious and beautiful cocktails. Lydia and Abella provided warm service with a smile during meals in The 5th Restaurant. Benjamin arranged all my excursions, taxi and overall concierge services. Rita and Krishna greeted us daily and made sure everything was going well. It was also great being able to spend time at the Upendo Beach house location. We met other travelers during cocktail hour on the rooftop. Zanzibar is a beautiful place but the staff here made my trip! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/B87830C7342E4F9DB7F67BA23115256CECB8FDF71733481933288.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/4E0E9512914CA4B3619181C96557FA368AC1ED031733481932548.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/719A0565436B66805A2B7875DE04FC01BDE951591733481929261.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Nydia Stayed 6 nights in Nov 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Martha Feb 6, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities My room was very comfortable, if a bit overpriced. Unfortuately my view out the window was an alley of rusted roofs and infrastructure - this was #203 - more like a very comfortable cell. The electricity went out in the middle of the night making it very hot. However, the rest of the hotel was pleasant, the upper floors are surely preferable, but you must be able to walk up.. lll in all a good, safe location and nice staff. I wish they would have either put me in a better room or charged me less. ##### Martha ### 6/10 Okay #### GILLES Oct 5, 2025 Chambre très petite . Au 2 eme étage côté rue très bruyante avec un bar en face. Salle de bain est plus une salle d’eau où l’on mouille tout y compris la cuvette des wc Wifi très faible et déconnecté tout le temps Personnel pas très souriant et accueillant par rapport .Déçu,nous attendions mieux ![Vue depuis le restaurant](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/41b777da-de99-49e6-8f4d-3dd94aa03d17-1759666079577.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Vue depuis le restaurant](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/b0dcda92-2394-40bd-b4dd-8b48a9f28dc6-1759666079848.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### GILLES Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Savasi Island Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Savusavu-Hotels-Savasi-Island-Resort.h18980726.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel St-Denis](https://www.expedia.ca/Montreal-Hotels-Hotel-St-Denis.h1066725.Hotel-Information) > > [Family Hotels in Mexico](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Mexico-Family-Hotel.0-0-d117-tFamilyHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Hotels in Downtown San Francisco](https://www.expedia.ca/Downtown-San-Francisco-San-Francisco-Hotels.0-n6151902-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Wailea](https://www.expedia.ca/Wailea-Kihei-Hotels.0-n7739-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Meadowview Cottages](https://www.expedia.ca/Miltonvale-Park-Hotels-Meadowview-Cottages.h11706742.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in La Condesa](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Condesa-Mexico-City-Hotels.0-n6051410-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels near Cayman Islands](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Cayman-Islands-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d33-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Hotels in Glasgow](https://www.expedia.ca/Glasgow-Hotels.d1334.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [InterContinental Bora Bora Resort and Thalasso Spa by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Bora-Bora-Hotels-InterContinental-Bora-Bora-Resort-And-Thalasso-Spa.h14637.Hotel-Information) > > [Adults Only Resorts & Hotels in Key West](https://www.expedia.ca/Key-West-Hotels-Adults-Only-Resorts.0-0-d1187-tAdultsOnlyResorts.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Best Western Brantford Hotel & Conference Centre](https://www.expedia.ca/Hamilton-Hotels-Best-Western-Brantford-Hotel-Conference-Centre.h6629.Hotel-Information) > > [ Liv MTL - Main](https://www.expedia.ca/Montreal-Hotels-The-Main-St-Laurent-By-Liv-MTL-203.h38944035.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Mesa (AZA) to Calgary (YYC)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/aza/yyc/mesa-to-calgary) > > [Flights from London (YXU) to Calgary (YYC)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yxu/yyc/london-to-calgary) > > [Flights from winnipeg james armstrong richardson intl airport](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/airports/ywg/flights-from-winnipeg-james-armstrong-richardson-intl-airport) > > [Flights from Hounslow (LHR) to Hamburg (HAM)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/lhr/ham/london-to-hamburg) > > [Flights from Winnipeg (YWG) to Parañaque (MNL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ywg/mnl/winnipeg-to-manila) > > [Flights from Richmond (YVR) to Tuktoyaktuk (YUB)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/yub/vancouver-to-tuktoyaktuk) > > [Flights from london intl airport](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/airports/yxu/flights-from-london-intl-airport) > > [Flights from Richmond (YVR) to Velika Gorica (ZAG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/zag/vancouver-to-zagreb) > > [Flights from Winnipeg (YWG) to Lapu-Lapu (CEB)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ywg/ceb/winnipeg-to-cebu) > > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Yellowknife (YZF)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/yzf/calgary-to-yellowknife) > > [Flights from william r fairchild intl airport](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/airports/clm/flights-from-william-r-fairchild-intl-airport) > > [Flights from Mississauga (YYZ) to Panama City (ECP)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/ecp/toronto-to-panama-city) ### Cars
