Overall Ratings & Reviews Spice Tree by Turaco

Stone Town!

Its only good.for its location and thats it. I dont understand how its a 4 star. The place is badly run with what appears almost to be student's and its a Marriot. The whole place needs a refurb. The icing on the cake was the draggjng of the heavy furniture for 2 nights out of our 3. The noise disruption was so bad and kept us awake. We can only assume as we were on the 4th floor and the 5th floor has the restaurant come bar it was that. But that closes at 10pm and the nois for the 2 nights continued to 4am. Not constant but loud crashes. Plus the house keeping staff shout early morning and bang the doors too. So if you want any sleep you wont get it. Aircon also does nt work properly

Excellent location and overall great service. A few things can be improved given the price. - Breakfast is very bland and could use improvement—fresher breads (ideally baked daily), ripe fruit (two days I was there, the fruit served wasn't ripe), better training of the chef who makes omelets; they were often overcooked; have an option for adding cheese to the omelets which wasn't available. For $17, the breakfast was wanting. - The room was musty, likely related to the high humidity environment and the fact that they don't keep AC throughout. Investing in baseline AC could improve this. - Attention to detail in the room service, e.g, shampoo ran out and I had to ask for it despite daily service. Otherwise excellent hotel.

We enjoyed our stay at the Spice Tree Hotel. The staff was helpful and friendly and the rooms were nice. The location was great for exploring StoneTown and the staff also offered great recommendations. We had a great stay!

It was good . Friendly staff and really enjoyable.

Good location and affordable in comparison to other hotels nearby. Staff initially put us into a room which had a strong smell, and then moved us to another room promptly once we raised the issue. This happened once again, but they were still accommodating and gave us a room which was fit for purpose.

The room was dingy, it was dark. The bathroom had grout stains on the floor. It felt very dirty. I was surprised it was a marriott. It felt like a motel. The bed was not comfortable. The concierge was not helpful. We asked for restaurant suggestions, they couldnt give us any recommendations. We requested to arrange for a boat tour to the neighboring island, they couldnt arrange it for us. Instead, gave us a number and told us to do it. Never had that experience from any hotel in the past. The lobby was so hot! No AC, and they told me they switched it off because the employee was feeling cold.

Everyone was very professional, courteous and helpful

Last minute stay. Staff were welcoming and warm. Whole place was extremely clean. Room service & the restaurant above was amazing.

l’hôtel est entourée des bâtiments, seulement le restaurant a la vue (petite vue) sur la mer

Great property and as to be expected as part of the Marriott Bonvoy family. Everything worked as expected from “central air conditioning”, WiFi, elevator, TV with major news channels and in-house restaurant with room service. I was thoroughly impressed and this is my new “Go To” hotel while visiting Zanzibar.

Great location. Good facilities.

Nice place to stay, however u can hear the noise from the hallway n next door. I wish they had grab bars near the toilet seat which is quite low. Older people with arthritic knees like me would have problem rising from the seat. Other than that the hotel is very pleasant.

Dirty

Great location. View not so good.

Fabulous stay for the 2nd time. Nice to have a big pool to relax in after a day’s sightseeing. Large rooms, large comfy beds, nice shower. Great staff in the restaurant and reception. Would def stay again. Thanks.

Loved it all. So much so that we have booked to stay again before we fly home. Lovely staff, nice pool, a very good breakfast and other meals we had intermittently were great. Near everything.

Good stay.

Lovely hotel, friendly staff, great location.
