What an absolute gorgeous gem of a hotel in Stone Town. Truly authentic building and decor and incredible bedrooms. I stayed in the ‘Kate’ room which was utterly delightful. Beautiful private terrace overlooking the town, enormous bedroom (beautifully decorated) and an open-air bathtub adjoining. Super private. Gorgeous to wake up in the morning and open the doors and feel the breeze filter through. Beautiful bed linen and towels (woven locally) and handmade soaps. If you are into aesthetics, then this is the place for you. I can’t say enough to rate the hotel. All the staff were absolutely delightful and super attentive (as a single female traveller it was very much appreciated). The Manager was extremely kind and friendly. Also organised a fantastic private tour of the town for me which was brilliant. The rooftop restaurant is to die for. The best, authentic and freshest of food I have ever eaten.The taster plate experience with sunset and cocktails was dreamy. Amazing views and ambiance. Didn’t want it to end! The Secret Garden restaurant is also absolutely worth a visit. I attended on a Friday evening when there was live music being performed. Truly magical. Again, the food was just amazing and the staff all super kind.

Our flight arrived very early in the morning, so we were already at the hotel at 6 o'clock in the morning. Initially they told us that we would have the room ready around 7 o'clock and that we could stay at the pool until then. They came back in about 10-15 minutes and informed us that they would give us another room with an ocean view, so we got a free room upgrade. The very nice room, on the first floor, with a huge balcony on which there were 2 armchairs and a bed, the view of the harbor is extraordinarily beautiful. Too bad I only stayed there one night.

This is absolutely a gem in Stone Town. Right in the middle of Stone Town, everything is close. Room was spacious and comfortable. AC was working well and there was mosquito net as well. They also was asking in the evening if you want your room to be spayed with mosquito repellent. The design of hotel is awesome. Breakfast is basic but delicious. Staff is helpful.

At arrival, the staff was welcoming; check-in was easy. I loved the quick responses on the Booking.com chat box. The room was clean, the bed was comfortable, and the WiFi was really good. Actually, once inside the hotel, you can not tell you are near the busy streets of Stone Town. The AC was also working very well. I loved the paintings in the hallways, and the decor gave a nice, authentic Swahili/Arab royalty vibe. The hotel's location is good, with easy access to local restaurants and the market, and the ferry. It is 10 minutes from the airport. The pool was clean, and the garden was well-kept. I loved the complimentary birthday cake; it was so lovely of you. I will surely book the same place when in Zanzibar.

Genial - only 5 min away from the airport by taxi!

Genial - only 5 min away from the airport by taxi! Recommndable, if your plane is leaving in the morning. You have no stress that there might be a traffic jam, if you stayed in a more remote part of Zanzibar.

It is the gateway to Zanzibar when you had an early morning, late night or even a long flight just to relax. The establishments are helpful and so are the locals. You can take a cheaper Tuktuk or more expensive private taxi, spend about 20 minutes to Stone Town where you will be able to do many tours at or from. If you have never been on a Tuktuk it could be an opportunity to have a time of your life bumping and breaking as it pass thorough traffic. You also can choose to rent a car if you willing to drive there. Just remember that most roads are small and speed limit is lower than other countries. While you there, there are motorcycles, pedestrians, tuktuks and other cars that buzz everywhere, if you choose to rent a car. The wind from the open top part of the doors in refreshing. Note that the locals may not speak English as good as you, so speak slower and clearly. They are very helpful. There are supermarkets, restaurants, accommodations in different styles in Kiembi Samaki. You can book tours directly from there to other areas. Though I would advise to go further inwards the country once you are done with sightseeing. Then book a night just before your flight so that you are closer to the airport. I used a supermarket on the main road (Nyerere) to buy supplies. It is next to a Last Minute Safari offices. Just next to it there is a Hotel with restaurant. I used a mixture of Tuktuk and private taxi to commute. Make sure you have Tanzanian Shilling to be able to use around. Take the name of establishment, street and landmarks should you use a tuktuk so that you can explain when you come back. lastly, relax because Zanzibar is a very safe place. ofcourse caution is needed, but not like in many countries.
