Top Slave Market Hotel Reviews

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."

Tembo House Hotel

8/10 Good

"Enjoyed our stay. Our room was small and tight with a sea view, but unfortunately just a glimpse of the sea from our 1st floor room. Lovely buffet breakfast!"

"Spice Palace Hotel was a great place to stay in Stone Town. The breakfast was better than I expected (omelette served, location was center of Stone Town, staff was very helpful and price was great.
