The Zenji offers clean rooms, efficient service and a friendly welcome. On Malawi Rd, near the port, it's in the heart of the action, or a bit noisy, depending on your attitude. Some rooms have balconies; the quieter ones are at the back. Breakfast is served on the rooftop terrace and there's the great little Zenji Cafe downstairs (open to nonguests).
The owners also operate Zenji Zanzibar, a series of projects aiming to help local people benefit from tourism, and local craft products are on sale in a room next to the cafe.
