"Excellent staff, excellent accomodation - made the trip a pleasure!"

The Zanzibar hotel became a home away from home during my stay. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. The rooms are beautiful, done in a traditional Zanzibari style, and the garden is a pleasure to relax in. The location is very convenient, right in the heart of Stone Town. Thank you so much for a great stay!

"Excellent value and great location"

It is more secluded than the more famous Africa House, but you can use the facilities at Africa House (a one minute walk) without having all the crowds hanging around your hotel. Staff very helpful, but not overbearing.

"Beautiful Garden, Excellent Location!!!!"

This is the sister hotel to the famous Africa House. Set in the heart of Stonetown this quiet, quaint hotel is ideal for all travelers. There is a beautiful garden surrounded by lush plants with the occasional visit from one of the adorable resident monkeys. Accommodation includes a delicious english style breakfast with a variety of fruit. The owner, Denise, is a lovely woman who caters to your every need and tons of helpful information about traveling in Zanzibar. Thanks for such a lovely stay Denise!!! I really enjoyed my stay here and would recommend it to anyone traveling to Zanzibar!!!

"WOW"

The rooms are beautifully finished with attention to detail which is remarkable. The quality of the Zanzibar hotel has yet to be matched by any other hotel I have stayed in Tanzania . Service, staff owner/manager all excellent. Loved the huge garden which was totally unexpected in StoneTown. Anyone travelling to Zanzibar must stay in this place! Renovation was taking place on the exterior of the hotel so it was a bit noisy from 830am.
