Loved it! Stayed there while on a work visit. Super central location, but this comes with potentially dodgy people that walk around the canal at night. The rooms are specious, have a small kitchen and "living room" area separated from the sleeping area. Comfy beds, there's a fridge and a dishwasher, bigger rooms also have a laundry machine. The rooms are very quiet even though the location is central. The staff is friendly and helpful. No hotel breakfast, but there's a nice little Cafe inside the hotel area.

Guest reviews
Zanzibar Locke averages 4.6 out of 5 across 757 reviews. A selection, quoted as written:
I can’t say enough kind words about the front desk staff. They were always present and helpful, and willing to answer any questions. The room was minimal and clean, and the kitchen was equipped with everything we could possibly need. Because of the minimal decorations in the rooms, this was a great place to stay with a 1-year-old who gets into everything. The lobby and cafe are beautiful and a great place to meet up with family.
I am just blown away by this hotel and the brand. This is my second stay with the brand from a different location. The attention to detail in the property finishes is amazing. Other hotels skip corners when trying to create this aesthetic but you all have done an amazing job. I am looking forward to my next vacation oversees and I will definitely be using your chain to stay again.
