Top Forodhani Gardens Hotel Reviews

The Neela Boutique Hotel Stone Town

10/10 Excellent

"The staff are exceptional - friendly and professional. Met upon arrival at airport ! Perfect location in Stone Town. Above expectations."

Tembo Palace Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay; I didn't expect any kind of view and it is in the midst of other buildings. A short walk from the main hotel, where you have access to all of the the amenities including breakfast, pools, private beach, etc. The room was a bit bare bones for furniture, but what was there was local and good quality. No mosquito netting, but they say that they spray, although we did find one. We used the ceiling fans all night which should also keep them away. The bathroom was beautifully tiled. Great staff at the main hotel and there is security at the entrance to the Palace Hotel. Biggest downside - uneven stairs and no elevator."

Turaco Spice Tree, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely property in the heart of Stone Town. Fantastic staff very helpful and personable. Very high standards of cleanliness. It could do with a few pieces of attention to the rooms. Minor things like shower head holder not working well, shower do could benefit from a better seal and mattress was a bit lumpy. Minor issues as the fantastic staff make you feel so welcome and supported. Highly recommend."
