The Manor House by Sansi Reviews

Absolutely great service and friendly staff

Set in a beautiful garden setting on high ground overlooking sea. Old colonial style architecture. Rooms are basic but have no kettle in the room. Toiletries, mosquito nets, excellent WiFi. Lovely staff. Great big breakfast and excellent coffee. No pool. Beach is long way downhill surrounded by mangrove. Need to walk some distance Shops and main road for transport nearby. Airport 4 kilometres, a Taxis costs 20000 Tsh. The number 506 dala dala goes into Stone Town from Mimi cafe.. Would definitely stay again

The hotel is terrible. Because of the typhoon, we couldn't go to the island. After many communications, the hotel refused to refund. I will never book this hotel again. It's rubbish. This hotel is not nice for customers because of their service, i will never order it again.😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

Lovely venue and fantastic staff. Excellent value for money.

十分美麗，早餐也很好吃，謝謝擁有我

We really enjoyed our stay at the Manor House ! It's a beautiful place, very clean, very quiet, where it's good to relax ! The staff is adorable, very welcoming and caring. There is no dinner offered in the evening, but it is possible to order at a nearby restaurant and have it delivered ! We recommend because we had a great time. In addition, for the same quality, we paid almost two times less than in other hotels.

We booked this last minute to be closer to stone town and airport as had early hours flight we booked two nights although leaving early hours ofvsecond but wanted to keep room to sleep in prior to airport. Good value for money. The drive up to Manor is impressive like old colony building white washed met by staff who took luggage. Easy book in and shown to room only one flight of stairs so no lift. Upstairs communal lounge area overlooking extensive gardens and views of sea. Our room was ample big enough shutters on windows so could open but had a net window to stop insects air conditioning netting over bed had english plug sockets. Bottle of water comfy clean bed. Bathroom adequate although could do with renovation but clean no shower curtain so water went everywhere but lots of lovely hot water. Quiet location. Breakfast on veranda breakfast menu but good choice. We did have dinner one night set menu but if didnt like menu would offer alternative would definately recommend and would return

- Amazing building and gardens overlooking the sea (west coast), you can’t believe you’re staying somewhere so beautiful for that price. Unbelievable sunsets! - Staff are so friendly - particularly Richard (front of house), Catherine the chef, and Joel the Masai guard - Service is brilliant - they will take in your bags for you and do all they can to help you - We stayed one night after a late flight from the mainland as it was close to the airport - great location and meant we didn’t need to drive into Stone Town which is not fun to drive in - Free and secure parking - WiFi - Incredible breakfast which is included (!) - So cheap for the level of service you get - We liked it so much that we decided to come here for dinner on our last day in Zanzibar which was delicious - The car we had rented broke down outside the gates, blocking the driveway. About six staff members all came to help us push the car up the hill and out of the way, which was so kind. The manager also called our car rental company for us to ask them to come and fix our car. While we waited, they gave us a welcome juice drink and took in our bags. They are amazing. Only cons are that the bathrooms are a bit tired and could do with updating - though for the price you wouldn’t expect much better! There’s also no air con but I didn’t get too hot.

Very nice Hotel. We were greeted by the friendly and helpful manager and brought to our room. The room was very clean ( the cleanest room we encountered on Zanzibar), the bed very comfortable. The only thing that could´ve been better is the bathroom, as the shower cubicle has seen better days. Otherwise our stay was perfect. The breakfast was amazing!

We spent 5 glorious nights here. The hotel and gardens are beautiful, it’s an oasis of peace and tranquillity. The staff are incredibly happy and professional and we will definitely return. Everywhere was clean and had everything we needed. Such a charming hotel!

Good hotel near the airport (5-10mn) and not so far from Stone Town. The crew members are all welcoming, Ali, Sofia .... The breakfast is delicious (swahili pancake , fresh fruits...) The room was nice, proper and with a beautiful view. Thank you

If you're looking for some calm after visiting Stone Town, go straight to The Manor House. Just a few miles from the city center, the place offers a really nice view on the ocean in a peacefull garden. This typical omanian house as a lot of charm and the staff is attentive to clients needs. Breakfast is fresh and delicious. I would recommend the place to others.

I had the chance to get to know Manor House thanks to a friend that came to visit me while working in Zanzibar for 3 months. She stayed in this amazing place with her mom for one week and during that time I had the chance to spend time there. The location is ideal: 5 minutes from the airport and 15 from the city. The view of the sea at the sunset with the crops of bananas and the green that surrounds it are healing. The food that they prepare is delicious, but the best part for me is the kindness of the people that works there I'm still going to spend time in Manor House especially to work with my laptop because it feels home for me. They are ready to help you if in need, for all that reasons I definitely suggest this place for a peaceful stay in Zanzibar!

What a lovely quiet hotel with great food. Be aware they do not serve alcohol. Coffee and flavouredtea are available as well as soft drinks. Fresh fruit every day for breakfast along with the local visheti, mandazi, eggs, beef sausage, and oyster mushrooms which can be ordered. Big room with a big bed, small table and 1 stool. Ceiling fans only, no aircon. Bathroom is a good size but note that there are no doors on the shower space which is tiny. Be sure to put the toilet paper and your clothes etc on the shelf next to the sink. Staff are friendly and helpful.
