I traveled w/ my best friend & our welcoming was not the warmest. The hotel only took cash which limited us to staying in the hotel for meals. We found what may have been bed bugs as well as multiple roaches throughout our stay which was 5 days. Found one crawling on one of my hats & that’s when we decided to hang all our packs so none of our belongings touched the floor

The Cinnamon Hotel offers an exceptional stay with friendly and professional staff. The hotel is immaculately clean, and the manager, who may also be the owner, was always available to assist. They organized a seamless airport taxi pickup, with the driver waiting upon our arrival. The rooms were spotless, with daily changes of towels and bedding. The shower was excellent, providing both warm and cold water. We appreciated the management's attentiveness, especially when we stayed late; a staff member and a security guard were always present. However, the breakfast options could use more variety for longer stays. For short stays, the breakfast is satisfactory. Overall, it was a fantastic experience. If I visit Zanzibar again, I'll definitely return to Cinnamon.

I can only speak highly of the Cinnamon Hotel. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, the rooms are spacious bungalows just a few meters from the sea, overlooking the pool and the restaurant. The beach of Jambiani, right in front, stretches for several kilometers and offers beautiful walks. The hotel is also environmentally friendly, using glass bottles for water and furnishing with reclaimed wood, refurbished in a functional and tasteful manner. The restaurant serves excellent food at great prices. However, the real standout feature of Cinnamon is its staff. The managers are truly welcoming and kind, and above all, they will offer valuable advice and act as intermediaries between guests and the locals to ensure fair pricing for services. They are familiar with European standards and will protect you from unscrupulous operators—such as those who overcharge for modest boat trips. Keep in mind that in Jambiani, like many other places in Zanzibar, swimming and snorkeling spots are often only accessible by boat due to shallow waters extending several kilometers from the shore, especially during low tide. One last tip for Cinnamon Hotel. We visited in mid-March (low season, humid season), and the ground floor rooms were extremely hot. However, for a modest price difference, we were able to get a room on the first floor, which was well-ventilated, with a terrace and a truly fantastic sea view. We hope to return. Thank you!

Mysigt boutiquehotell vid stranden i Jambiani.

Vi uppskattade lugnet och det fina hotellomrÄdet med pool. Hotellet hade bra frukost och trevlig och service minded personal. Det vi upplevde mindre positivt var att man inte fick ha nÄgra snacks eller annat pÄ rummet och att det inte fanns nÄgon supermarket i nÀrheten.

Wir haben 6 Übernachtungen im Superior Zimmer verbracht. Das zugewiesene Zimmer im EG war OK, aber auch nicht mehr. Ventilator funktioniert gut. Klimaanlage kĂŒhlt tagsĂŒber nicht wirklich. Die sonstige Ausstattung war schon sehr Basic und stark beansprucht fĂŒr diese Preisklasse. FrĂŒhstĂŒck ausreichend, aber schon eine 2. Tasse Kaffee kostet extra - 3,5 US $ - Wahnsinn! Das Essen im Restaurant war OK aber auch vollkommen ĂŒberteuert. Es gibt jedoch gute Alternativen direkt nebenan und in der nĂ€heren Umgebung. Die Anlage ist gepflegt. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und bemĂŒht. Das Management ist weder besonders freundlich noch interessiert an den GĂ€sten. Die Lage in sĂŒdlichen Abschnitt von Jambiani ist gut. Schöner Strand, der hier aber ĂŒberall gleich ist. Die Umgebung bzw. das Hinterland ist nicht reizvoll. Sehr viele verfallene GebĂ€ude und sehr wenig Infrastruktur. Das gilt aber fĂŒr alle UnterkĂŒnfte in dieser Gegend. Wir wĂŒrden Jambiani als Urlaubsziel nicht noch einmal wĂ€hlen. Das Cinnamon Hotel gehört sicher zu den besseren Anlagen in Jambiani, aber aufgrund der extrem ĂŒberteuerten Restaurant- und GetrĂ€nkepreise trotzdem nur bedingt zu empfehlen.
