"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. My room was next to one of Stone Town’s many alleyways, so there was almost always activity and noise late into the night. As a...

"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...

Top Mwembeshauri Hotel Reviews

Tembo House Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The buildings are historic and beautifully and respectfully transformed. Our room was in the annex across the street, a family-sized apartment. It was so comfortable and the bathroom was particularly beautifully imagined and tiled. The hotel amenities are great without being over the top. The terrace overlooking pool and beach are comfortable and gracious. Every single staff member we have interacted with has been lovely and helpful. The breakfast buffet is extensive, with Western-friendly choices but also an extensive Swahili selection as well; the lunch we recently ordered by the pool (from the Indian part of the menu) was delicious. I would recommend this hotel to anyone and would stay here again myself the next time I am here."

Dream of Zanzibar Resort & Spa - Premium All Inclusive

8/10 Good

"The best part about this hotel was that everything was all inclusive. Otherwise, it's a well-maintained hotel with few amenities and beautiful gardens, we stayed at the resort all day because it's a bit isolated from most of the activities. We enjoyed the food, although at some point we felt like the food menu was not changing much. Food was limited at the buffet. Otherwise, customer service was amazing."

Tembo Palace Hotel

8/10 Good

"The place is nice. However, the advertisement about tempo palace was deceiving. We thought the tempo palace was on the beach as per pictures that we saw. However, even though you have access to the beach and pools at tempo hotel, tempo palace is in a different side with old building views. We were not allowed to check in early. There were fixing the bathroom by the pool. There were dust all over the place and hanging the whole afternoon We tried to take a nap after a long flight but we couldn't bc of the noise. When we told them about the situation, they offered to give us a room on a different level on the same tempo palace which didn't make sense. We stayed where we were. The magnets tried to accomodate but they couldn't. It was disappointing. They tried to provide us a late checkout and a place to shower. We checked out early so we we had other plans. When we ask to shower, they told us a couple was using the room that we need to wait 10 min. That 10 min ended up being over one hour. It was disappointing. I had to call the manger for us to get a room to shower. I wish they make it easy for us. It was disappointing. Besides that the food was good."

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.
