Tembo Palace Hotel

Tembo Palace Hotel

4.2/548 Reviews
This hotel is something really special. Little gem hidden in an old city. The location is directly on the beach; you can hear the waves flapping, when sitting at the dining area outside. Also it is central, but in a very nice and secure part of town. The swimming pool is large and has a sea view. Breakfast is delightful. Accommodations are sparkling clean and have got this old style Zanzibar charm with an accent on furniture, doors , lamps and even ceilings. Beach view is spectacular. But the best part is the people, the staff. Friendly, accommodating and understanding. There was a technical mistake with my online booking, and I thought I lost a reservation, and to my biggest surprise the manager Yakub Abdulkarim, very kind and intelligent man, realised it was a legitimate mistake through no fault of anyone. He has fixed it right on a spot, and I found myself in this most amazing room/bungalow with the sea view and an unforgettable feeling of warmth from staff’s overwhelming hospitality. T hank you Tembo team! Lovely people, awesome place to stay!!

Good location, right at the beach, convenient by boat. With a sense of history, the rooms are beautiful and clean. Breakfast is average. Recommended balcony with sea view. The scenery is first class and beautiful.
Golden Tulip Stonetown Boutique

Golden Tulip Stonetown Boutique

3.8/560 Reviews
I landed at Golden Tulip because Trip.com messed up my booking elsewhere, and I only found out about it at the last minute. The location is right by the port, on a side of town that feels quite sketchy. However, Stone Town is small and safe, so it didn’t matter too much. The rooms are nice enough. They have everything you need. People are friendly all over Zanzibar, and at the Golden Tulip no less. The pool is lovely, and service is okay. Sometimes I had to ask more than once, phone down because my towel had disappeared, or guide them through my own bill. The restaurant is pretty bad. I’m not a particularly fussy eater, but don’t feel the need to eat bad food. I ordered three tester dishes on my first day, and didn’t finish any. Another traveler had a similar experience. Breakfast is okay. There is fruit, yoghurt, pastries, omelettes on request, toast, cereal sometimes, and a variety of hot dishes. Nobody seems to notice when the table has no cutlery or when the coffee, milk or a given hot dish runs out. Most days, I found the cereal (if they had it), fruit, and at least one hot dish edible.
Spice Palace Hotel

Spice Palace Hotel

3.9/521 Reviews
We only went for dinner here having heard that the roof-top restaurant has a good view. In the end the view was really the best part of the evening. The food was fairly standard fare, really nothing special - piece of chicken, not specially spiced, rice and veg - and we had to wait for it. The staff were slow and unresponsive, and when it came to pay I had to pull them away from their chatter to give me the bill and then they were unable to take hard currency and I had to pay by card. Frankly, there are plenty of better options in Stone Town.
Beyt Al Salaam

BEYT AL SALAAM was superb. Aminia and team were the nicest people we have met. There kind assistance with all our plans and excursions made our holiday truly unforgettable. The room was tastefully decorated and spotlessly clean. A large comfortable bed with chrisp white linen and very comfortable pillows. It had an airconditioner, ceiling fan, tv and tea and coffee facilities. A nice indoor swimming pool TRULY A GEM. Thank you so much for making our holiday so memorable.
Zanzibar Coffee House

Zanzibar Coffee House

4.4/568 Reviews
Lovely little hotel with coffee named rooms! We were in moccachino and machiato I think! Both ensuite - one double and one twin. Lovely welcome and very grateful for one room being ready early. Perfect for us to shower up after 20 hours of travel! Please note taxis can not get to the hotel (most hotels this applies to) and we had to walk with our luggage the last part of the way through narrow streets. These are traditional style quaint rooms. Hot water but low pressure. It's what you would expect in an old town but served it's purpose perfectly Breakfast was good choices if non veg/eat egg but my parents did struggle a little for choice as they don't eat eggs. The lovely smiley lady serving was so friendly and kind. Coffees incredible. We ate lunch in the cafe once. My panini was not great but hubbys chapati wrap was nice. We had an amazing experience with the coffee plantation rep (I think his name was Abdul). He gave my family and I a lovely class about coffee production and we roasted some beans that we each got to bring home a bit of! We did buy bags of coffee - lots of bags but they were unable to do any discounts on this. They are on sale in the airport cafe for the same price so can get there also. The smiley ladies working behind the scenes make this place. They are incredibly strong. Smiles even stronger. So friendly. Loved seeing Filomena housekeeping daily. Went out of our way to help us. Turndown service with mosquito nets and repellant was great. Filtered water in the rooms and able to fill water bottles upstairs and in cafe. There are lots of stairs so exert caution if mobility issues. Being pregnant, I was a little out of puff getting to the terrace for breakfast but worth it for the views. Many thanks to you all
