The Neela is truly a hidden gem nestled in the heart of the bustling Stone Town. From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the quality and attention to detail at this remarkable hotel. The food was nothing short of outstanding—honestly, some of the best we’ve ever had. Every meal felt like a fine dining experience, with flavors that left a lasting impression. The staff were exceptional—attentive, warm, and always ready to go the extra mile to ensure a memorable stay. Their service was impeccable, making us feel right at home. One of the highlights of our visit was the rooftop cocktail bar. The drinks were absolutely top-tier—some of the best cocktails we’ve ever had, with unique flavors and expert craftsmanship. All in all, The Neela exceeded every expectation, offering luxury, incredible service, and an unforgettable experience in Stone Town. Highly recommended!

I stayed here for 2 nights and had a wonderful experience, from the lovely check-in with hibiscus juice in the gorgeous art filled lobby, to the nicely decorated room with the most modern finishes, to the amazing food! Only ate lunch out as I’m sure there is no better food on the island! Beautiful kind attentive staff. Lovely French press in the room with Tanzanian coffee. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

Would Visit Again, Amazing Hotel
Beautiful property, excellent staff. I was pleasantly surprised by this hotel and how organized and clean it was. It was a beautiful hotel. I'm not often impressed but this hotel was lovely. Couple things I would have changed if I was being nitpicky: hot water did not last long and bathrooms are open concept (no door, making it hard for families to share a room and have privacy). Even with these small things, I would go back to Neela in a heart beat.
