Sweet Reviews From Our Guests
Posted on Google Victor KiwangoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Rooms very nice and clean... Calm environment.. staff very friendly one of them Yussuph very charming humble and caring... Shortly everything is perfectPosted on Google Jorge SánchezTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Nuestra estancia en O Thalia Hotel en Zanzíbar ha sido maravillosa. Hemos viajado un grupo de 11 personas y desde el primer día nos hemos sentido como en casa. El hotel tiene un ambiente tranquilo, muy cuidado y con muchísimo encanto. Las habitaciones estaban limpias, cómodas y bien preparadas, algo que se agradece mucho después de días intensos de excursiones como Mnemba, Mikumi o Stone Town. Las zonas comunes son agradables y el entorno invita a desconectar y disfrutar del ritmo de la isla. Pero, sin duda, lo mejor ha sido el trato del personal. Siempre atentos, amables y dispuestos a ayudar en todo momento. Nos facilitaron mucho la estancia, tanto con recomendaciones como con pequeños detalles que marcan la diferencia cuando viajas en grupo grande. La ubicación también nos resultó muy cómoda para movernos por la isla y para organizar nuestras actividades. En resumen, hemos tenido una experiencia fantástica y repetiríamos sin dudarlo. Recomendamos O Thalia a cualquiera que busque tranquilidad, buen ambiente y un trato cercano en Zanzíbar. 🌴✨Posted on Google leilaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Wij hebben hier de eerste vier dagen van onze huwelijksreis doorgebracht en het was werkelijk een fantastische ervaring. Vanaf het moment dat we aankwamen, voelden we ons welkom. Onze kamer was brandschoon en stijlvol ingericht, met prachtige details uit de Marokkaanse cultuur. Daarnaast beschikten wij over een eigen privézwembad. Het hoogtepunt was zonder twijfel het speciale Marokkaanse diner dat het team voor ons heeft verzorgd. Met zoveel zorg en aandacht bereid, waardoor onze huwelijksreis nog onvergetelijker werd. De service was persoonlijk, hartelijk en tot in de puntjes verzorgd. Veel dank aan de chef! Dit hotel is een absolute aanrader voor iedereen die op zoek is naar comfort, sfeer en oprechte gastvrijheid. Wij zouden hier zonder twijfel opnieuw verblijven.Posted on Google Uratile NareTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

We had a great stay at this hotel and truly enjoyed our time here. The staff were welcoming, professional, and always willing to help, which made our experience even better. A special mention goes to Ali, the driver provided by the hotel, who was exceptional. He was always ready to assist, very reliable, and never hesitated to pick us up late at night whenever we went out. His kindness and professionalism made us feel safe and well taken care of throughout our stay. We highly recommend this hotel and would definitely stay here again.Posted on Google JohanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Magnifique!!! - points positifs: propre, très belle décoration, le matelas est vraiment confortable, la salle de bain est vraiment spacieuse, le pommeau de douche à effet de pluie est large et est vraiment agréable, le personnel est vraiment agréable et à disposition de vos besoins, la cuisine du restaurant est vraiment bonne, le cuisinier Hichem parle très bien français, la vue sur l’océan depuis le restaurant qui est situé au deuxième étage est vraiment belle… - points à améliorer : 1) vue que les toilettes sont dans la salle de bain, ce serait bien de mettre une barre avec un rideau de douche au niveau du toilettes pour pouvoir avoir de l’intimité. 2) essayer de trouver une solution pour être mieux cacher des possibles regards extérieurs (voisinage et étages supérieurs) au niveau des deux chambres qui ont chacune une piscine extérieure privée. En résumé, séjour exceptionnel… nous sommes vraiment satisfaits de notre séjour. Si nous devons séjourner de nouveau à Nungwi, ça sera sans hésiter dans cet hôtel… merci pour tout. Pour finir, un grand merci au personnel… plus particulièrement à Youssouf et Hichem le cuisinier marocain qui nous a régalés avec sa cuisine marocaine…Posted on Google Damian JobTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The bathroom are very clean, and large. They also have very beautiful glass with clean towels. Coming to the room OMG!! very large and beautiful, they have a full body length mirror for reviewing if the whole outfit matches and the beds and pillows are very soft and comfortable. They also have an outside area for basking in the sun which is really beautiful. In addition, they have massage services which are very soothing. The breakfast is very tasty and when u order food they keep their word which was 15 minutes.
