10/10 Exceptional

The staff was friendly and accommodating. Rooms were spacious, clean and culturally intriguing. Rooftop breakfasts were very nice. Located in the heart of Stone Town, the hotel was well situated for walking tours of historic sites, shopping, and access to the scenic harbor. Airport shuttles and island tours were set up nicely through the front desk.

A very good mid-range hotel
We were only there for 2 nights, but were well looked after by the staff. It is very central, but NOT where it is shown on hotel.com's website. please use Google to see where it really is. This was clearly pointed out by me to hotels.com, but their call centre agent was incapable of resolving this. Our room was totally acceptable for a mid-range hotel. Breakfast is simple and is served in a roof-top restaurant. it's nothing spectacular, but we'd definitely stay again.

Nice basic hotel close to the ferry port
We were given cold fresh juice when we arrived and staff were really helpful when we were checking in, and with any questions we had during our stay. Rooms were comfortable with ac, fridge, bottled water, tea and coffee, tv, mosquito nets. We had lunch in the rooftop restaurant, which was all good (cheeseburger, puzza, calamari). Breakfast was also good, and they allowed us to check out late and helped carry our bags to the ferry. Would definitely recommend staying here.

Nice hotel, well located near the sea front and close to ferry yet only 10 mins walk from main tourist strip. Can be confusing to find as it's marked in the wrong place in Google maps. Staff are really nice and accommodating. Clean, spacious room with good air con and nice breakfast on the roof terrace. Overall very good hotel!

Very nice breakfast and friendly hotel staff. We went in low season, so we were the only hotel guests.

Good location. No frills, satisfactory stay.
No frills but very acceptable. We used it for one night before departing for the coast and would probably have wanted a few more comforts if staying longer. Had a family room and there were two double beds and didn't feel cramped. Really good location for exploring StoneTown. $15 taxi from airport.

Dirt and dust turn me off.
I liked the location right in Stone Town, the hotel's character and authenticity and friendly staff. I didn't like bugs and dirt in the elevator, filthy menus, garbage in the planters, hideously stained pillows and inches of dust on bed frame.

2/10 Poor

BED BUGS IN ROOM 104
I stayed at the Asmini for four nights in a double king bed room. The first night I woke with a few bites on my arm and wrist which I assumed were a mosquito bite. The next night I had a ton of small red marks on my feet, again I thought it was from maybe walking in the sand. The third and fourth night my legs were on FIRE. I had multiple bites from my feet to my thigh. Ironically my roommate didn't have any bites. She pointed out that it didn't look like mosquito bites. So I googled 'Mosquito bite vs bed bug bite' the pattern in which I was bite were exactly the pattern of bed bugs. The main thing was that they bite in a line vs mosquitos bites which are randomly placed. That's exactly what I had, bites in a line formation. Our room on arrival was very dusty and had many spider webs so I'm assuming no one had stayed in it in a while. The laundry/towels were very stiff. I definitely don't understand why it was rated/listed as a 4 star hotel. Had this not been the case I would have rated the hotel differently as they were accommodating to my early arrival and the men who worked the reception desk and kitchen were very nice. The Zanzibarian people are very nice people. However I would not recommend this place to friends traveling unless the whole place is exterminated.
