Best Apartments Hotel Zanziabr

Stayed in Abla Beach Apartments with my family and i loved it, friendly staff, great service, and the apartments are just WOW!
They helped us booking some tours, and my kids enjoyed a lot. The rates are inclusive of pick up and drop off from Airport/ Ferry port.
I will definitely stay here again :)

Perfect for Family

This was stop over hotel for us to sample Zanzibar town on our way to Kendwa, up North.

Check in.
Smooth. Though room variety os limited.
Hotel was kind enough to provide pick up transport from the ferry.

Rooms.
Self contained for guests looking to prepare own meals.
Bed was comfortable.
Toilet and shower were basic. No complaints. AC worked perfectly.

Property.
Well painted apartments from the outside.

Cost.
Cheap. Value for money.

Breakfast.
This where the problem was.
Sh***y breakfast. You get what you paid for anyways. Service was horrible. Waiter and cooks seemed overwhelmed. We got tired of waiting for our orders and just ate what was on the table and left.
The dining area was tiny and could not accommodate several groups of guests.

Hotel was kind enough to provide a driver and a van to tour the town and later on take us to Kendwa.

Wifi.
None.

Check out.
Uneventful.

Overall.
I’d still comeback to stay overnight as a halfway house.

Stop Over

I stayed here 4 nights and last night there was a wedding party below my room. I figured it would end by 10:00. Not! At 11:00 called the front desk and they simply said sorry...that’s the way it is. It’s Africa! 

No relief. I called again at 12:22. The honking, screaming, yelling finally ended at 1:00 am.
I tried to talk to the manager and all he did was want to ague and create excuses. He simply said this is Africa. That’s how it is!

I don’t care what country it is this is not how you treat guests. I was planning to stay two more weeks but moving to a place that I’m treated properly.   

This manager needs to be replaced. NOW!

Also the place is falling apart. (See pictures of my room).

The elevator is a safety nightmare. There’s a 1 1/2” gap at the bottom of the door that will allow clothing to be snagged and ripped off your body!

In the bathroom there’s no toilet seat and only one of the two air cons work!

The shelf over the sink is gone with only the rustic brackets left remaining

O almost forgot. Absolutely the worst restaurant ever! This morning ...no milk ( hot or cold ) for coffee. 

For lunch and dinner only two ( 2 ) selections! Fish and beef. Go into town!

I must say the staff are great and very helpful ( barring the arrogant manager )! I thank them for making this a nice aspect of my stay. Especially Victoria!

So hopefully you read this and stay elsewhere because all this place cares about money and not your comfort!

Cheers 

Bad bad bad management & the place is falling apart!

We made reservations at the Abla in July 2017 for our December vacation to Zanzibar. When we called the week before our scheduled arrival we were told we had no reservation. With no real apology they simply said 'We don't work with hotels.com you have no reservation'. They went on to say that they had a number of people from hotels.com and expedia etc who had also had their reservations cancelled...with no sign of remorse that we (and others) were left with nowhere to stay on their vacations. Hotels.com confirmed that Abla had stopped honoring their reservations without notifying them. In short, stay away.
