Spice Palace Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I would highly recommend this hotel in Stone Town. It is a wonderful place to stay with very friendly staff and functional facilities. The breakfast is also decent too! Oh and the proximity to the ferry and most places. Nice gem."

Golden Tulip Zanzibar Resort

8/10 Good

"The sea view is very nice. The hotel breakfast is also very tasty and their alacarte menu for dinner etc is also very tasty. The reception staff and housekeeping staff are very nice and very very helpful. They really try their best. I loved the hotel, only problem is that there was no alcohol available but otherwise its a very nice hotel. However, please note its not possible to enter the beach as its made of stones and water is very shallow."

Park Hyatt Zanzibar

10/10 Excellent

"This property is a the most beautiful relaxing place to escape from the stresses of everyday life! Everything is perfect, the location, food, atmosphere, but mostly the endearing and helpful staff!"

Tembo House Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"An excellent place to stay. Clean and comfortable with three swimming pools and a game room that had ping pong and foosball. Unfortunately, there can be some noise from a nearby hotel with live music, but it doesn't seem to last very late. The timbo hotel itself was quiet. The buffet breakfast was excellent with many choices for vegetarian and vegan guests including soy milk."

Maru Maru Hotel

8/10 Good

"The location was ideal for wandering through Stone Town. The staff were friendly. The view from open patio dining area on the roof top was amazing. You must take advantage of wandering the many alley ways and shops. Lots to see in the area."

8/10 Good

"Personnel bienveillant, dommage qu’il y ait beaucoup de travaux aux alentours… Très bon emplacement"

Mizingani Seafront Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The Mizangani Seafront Hotel was an amazing, atmospheric bit of old Zanzibar looking out on the Stone Town harbor, and across from the Dar es Salaam ferry landing. They served a wonderful breakfast on the veranda. The reception and breakfast staff were very helpful and gave us a warm welcome. Our room was spacious and filled with beautiful Zanzibari details."

Zanzibar Serena Hotel

8/10 Good

"Rooms were clean but had misty smell and little small rooms"

Hotel Verde Zanzibar - Azam Luxury Resort and Spa - Dry Hotel
