- Stonetown buildings are a vintage but lacks maintenance, it makes the area look a bit untidy. Also the rusted roofing or corrugated sheets makes the aaerial view not beautiful. Painting them and the buildings will bring an added beauty to the image of stonetown.

Friendly people with a lot of places to visit.
Friendly people with a lot of places to visit.
However there is a lack of food prices diversity. Most good food is somehow expensive and the cheapest food was bad.
However my favourite place to eat during evening was at the small restaurant near the Mkunazini Anglican Cathedral where delicious rice dishes are served.
Couples can enjoy the tours to Prison Island and around Stone town

I sailed as a sea captain all around the island, including Pemba island. I spent here almost 2 months altogether. From tourist places, I liked Nungwi beaches. You have to know, most of tourist resorts are situated outside of local civilization. If you want to go shopping or to the local restaurant, you need to order a taxi everytime and the prices are high. The food and alcohol is quite expensive even for europeans. The locals are kind, although sometimes annoying if they are selling something. I felt absolutely safe, more than in EU. Traffic in the inlands is terrible, try to avoid travelling on these roads. Negotiate the price (taxi etc) before drive. They are able to ask 50 USD for 3 kilometres of ride after. If I could decide, I would try another exotic islands. Zanzibar needs 5-10 years to improve the services for tourist, infrastructure etc.

Navigating Zanzibar City was surprisingly easy, with an array of transportation options available. The compact size of the city made it convenient to explore on foot, with many attractions within walking distance of each other. I would definitely suggest trying the local Swahili food for fresh fish and seafood.
For a visitor from South Africa, I found the price of food and drinks at restaurants relatively expensive.

Paradise Found: Zanzibar's Enchanting Beauty
Paradise Found: Zanzibar's Enchanting Beauty
Zanzibar is simply one of the best places on Earth. Its beaches are nothing short of breathtaking, with pristine sands so fine they feel like silk beneath your toes. The tranquil waters, gentle and calm, create a mesmerizing backdrop that captivates the soul. My love for this place knows no bounds; it's a sanctuary of unparalleled beauty and serenity.
We stayed at the hotel after our flight from France as we felt it was useless to drive one hour to our holiday destination late in the evening. The hotel is located two minutes drive away from the airport. Staff was very welcoming and pleasant, room comfortable with a very nice bed, great bathroom with italien walk in shower, nice terrasse and pool area. A great hotel for a night after or before your flight or if you want a modern hotel in Zanzibar city with easy access to Stone town. Very good value for money.
Forodhani is my second home in Stone Town. Competitive rates, big spacious rooms, and a nice basic breakfast to get you going. The hotel is in the best location. Across the road from Forodhani Park which is the central attraction in Stone Town for its famous night food markets. Also close to the beach. The hotel is a walking distance from the Ferry terminal. A great swimming pool on the rooftop. The staff is always great, welcoming, and considerate.
The surroundings of the hotel are real magic, the facility is in the middle of Stone Town, the historical heart of Zanzibar City, with sweet narrow streets and the soul of the island. The staff are amazing, always at your service, I needed to print 40 papers for work, they did it without charge, I forgot my jacket in the closet and went on a safari, they kept it for me and handed it to me when I got back. The beds are super comfortable. Bathroom ok.
Beautiful and original, colonial style hotel located perfectly on the beach road. Very friendly and accommodating staff. The price was reasonable and well worth
As we were leaning for the airport late in the evening we were very pleased we were allowed to stay at the pool and use all hotel facilities even if we had checked out. Will be back.
Wonderful historic house directly in stone town. The employees have been kind and caring. The room (Suite) was spacious and is decorated with historical Charme. The food and drinks are good and at a decent price. We also did the city tour, the spice farm tour as well as some transfers from the hotel. Good service abs customer orientation.
The hotel is absolutely beautiful and one of the best in Stone Town with a perfect location and charming boutique feel. The staff is on top of everything, incredibly kind, and gave us the warmest welcome upon our arrival! The interior pool is dreamy and all the premises are very well kept. The rooms are also amazing and super spacious.
The location and the staff are great. I spent there the first three nights when I was in stone town, at the end of my trip, I went back to spend the last night there as well because it was great for me. It's nearby from Stonetown's beach, the port to main land, prison island and Forodhani park. The staff was helpful and nice.
The location of the hotel is excellent in stone town. The staff is very friendly and we met the manager Danielle who was very welcoming and nice. The room and the decorations are exquisite, unique, clean and comfortable. The food as well is delicious. The view from the rooftop is amazing as well on the harbour.
Rooftop terrace for breakfast is nice and refreshing, while the breakfast is average. I could store my suitcase for almost 2 weeks before I actually got to the hotel for free, which was very convenient for me. Small cozy room with a nice bathroom. Free wifi. AC is very useful specifically in Stone Town.
Second time during our 4 days in zanzibar and we opted to rebook the hotel for our stay in stone town. .
They did upgrade us to the family room which was so lovely 😍.
The staff were still amazing and helpful especially Rashid .
Definitely 💯 would recommend the place anytime .
The hotel is really nice as style! In a good position to visit stone town and to go with boat to prison island and nakupenda!
The transfer from/to airport was really good!
It is really close to a beautiful restaurant on the beach!
I loved this property! it was clean and right on the beach. Walking distance to anywhere in Stone town! All employees were friendly and exceeded expectations! If I ever return I will definitely stay there again!
great location. oversight of the buzz of the beach/water activity, but far enough removed to relax , soak in the action and enjoy. stunning views/sunsets, spacious. 10 mins walk to the main stone town market.
Great food, Kindly staff And everythink was clean . In the centre. Very good prices. If you want to stay a few days in Zanzibar city here is no better hotel than this. Really Recomend.
Very kind staff, really good value for money!
Located in the middle of stone town, right on the beach, near night market and fredy mercury's museum. 15 minutes drive from the airport.
The restaurant was very good. Also, staffs there were very friendly.
It's not far from the airport and Stone town. The beach is just front of the hotel, however not for swimming.
Great location. It is a beautiful historic building. The balconies are stunning to sit on. I stayed at two hotels during my stay in Stone Town and would recommend the Dhow Palace.
