Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is conveniently located near the Zanzibar ferry departure point and offers helpful and friendly staff. Rooms are very basic with old furniture, and the dining experience needs improvement. The accessibility to the ferry terminal is excellent, making it a practical choice for those traveling to Zanzibar.
My stay at Rainbow Hotel was fantastic! The rooms were nice and comfortable; the only issue was with the internet that didn't work smoothly. However, everything else was amazing, including the meals. I can't wait to return and thank the hotel for a great experience with friendly and well-equipped staff. The size of the room was impressive, almost like a full apartment, with a good shower and bathroom. Excellent value overall!
I had a pleasant stay at Rainbow Hotel. The rooms were quiet on the seventh floor, offering a nice separation from other facades. The basic room was comfortable, and the presence of air conditioning was much appreciated, especially given the high humidity. While the internet had some issues, the overall experience was amazing, with great meals throughout the day. I can't wait to return and extend my compliments to the helpful and courteous staff.
