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.

Authentic while Exceeding Expectations
Very welcoming service and nice rooms that exceeded our expectations. The rooftop dining for dinner was a special treat with a nice selection and excellent quality. A fine choice if you want to stay in Stone Town and have an authentic Zanzibar experience.
