NDAME Paje Hotel

Ndame was a good experience. I enjoyed the amenities and the open beach. As advertised the hotel is exactly next to the beach. My time there was well spent.

Our stay at Ndame Paje Hotel was unfortunately very disappointing. Even though the facilities themselves were actually quite nice, the room we were given was far below what we expected. It almost felt like there was mold in the room, and the walls and the area around the doors seemed damp, which created a raw, unpleasant smell. The first night was the worst part. There were insects on the floor and in the bed, and several of them crawled over me while I was sleeping. I woke up multiple times throughout the night and barely slept at all. It’s an extremely uncomfortable experience when you can’t even relax in your own bed, and it caused a lot of stress — especially since this was the beginning of our holiday. The next day, we informed the reception and asked to change rooms, but they had nothing available. We ended up contacting Hotels.com, who thankfully moved us to another hotel just four minutes down the same street. That place had none of these issues, and we were finally able to relax and get proper sleep. The food at Ndame wasn’t great either, and the service was generally poor, although a few staff members were friendly and did their best. To be honest, this experience did affect our holiday in a negative way. Because of all this, I unfortunately can’t recommend Ndame Paje Hotel, especially when there are much better options just nearby.

Staff were very very friendly and lovely

The tiolets not always have paper towels in them, but otherwise good

Good value for the price. Especially appreciated the security at the hotel, staff friendliness and the location. Prime location at the beach, very nice swimming pool/sun bed area. Would not recommend eating at the hotel, as the food was very poor. However, there are a number of good places to eat just a short walk from the hotel (Zanzibarista, Delight for pizza, Shanga). Over all, impressed with what we got for the price of the stay.
