"For a historic boutique hotel it was decent. It was kinda hard to get to for our driver. The rooms were definitely older with older furniture, dated looking bathroom, and a noticeable smell. The breakfast was convenient. As a westerner that it fine with the Hampton Inn, it wasn’t somewhere I would book again."

"The room was clean, and housekeeping came by every day to clean and replace the towels. For the first two mornings, there was no hot water early in the morning. After I reported it, they sent a housekeeping staff member to verify the issue before alerting maintenance. By the following morning, it had been fixed, and I finally got to enjoy a blissfully hot shower.

"The property was in a good location to get to Stone Town and the ferry. Booking thru Expedia led to some confusion at checkout as their Expedia payment system was initially declined so we had to go on Expedia chat followed by a phone call to the facility to straighten everything out. Expedia could make that process much less confusing. The included breakfast was a nice treat and while I mostly take the stairs, the elevator was not working for half our stay. Overall though the stay was lovely...

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Mwembeshauri?
The best area to stay in Mwembeshauri is Stone Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site and the historic heart of the city.

Stone Town is a labyrinth of narrow alleyways, bustling markets, and intricately carved wooden doors, with many buildings dating back to the 19th century. It's highly walkable, and its central location on the west coast of Unguja island makes it easy to explore on foot. Specific landmarks include the Old Fort, the House of Wonders, and the Forodhani Gardens, which come alive with food stalls in the evenings.

Couples will find Stone Town offers a romantic and culturally rich experience. They can enjoy sunset dhow cruises departing from the waterfront, explore the numerous spice markets, and dine in rooftop restaurants overlooking the Indian Ocean. The area provides a unique blend of history and local life, great for those seeking an authentic and memorable trip.

For solo travelers, Stone Town is an excellent base for exploration. Its compact size and pedestrian-friendly streets make it easy to navigate, and there are many opportunities to engage with local culture, from visiting the Darajani Market to exploring the various museums and art galleries.
When is the best time to go to Mwembeshauri?
The best times to visit Mwembeshauri are during the dry seasons, specifically from June to October and again from December to February.

These months offer pleasant weather conditions, characterized by minimal rainfall and comfortable temperatures, typically ranging from the mid-70s to low 80s Fahrenheit. This weather is ideal for exploring the area's coastal attractions and enjoying outdoor activities without the interruption of heavy rains.

For couples looking for a romantic getaway, the period from December to February is particularly appealing. The weather is consistently warm and sunny, great for relaxing on the beaches or taking dhow cruises. You'll find many opportunities for sunset dinners and leisurely walks along the shore.

Travelers seeking an active vacation will appreciate the June to October dry season. The cooler, drier air is excellent for extended excursions, such as visiting Stone Town's historic sites or exploring the Jozani Forest.
