Great apartment with bedroom, living room, fully equipped kitchen, bathroom and even washing machine. Extremely comfortable and cosy. The kitchen is a great advantage, big refrigerator, cook stove, blender, coffee maker, kettle and all cutlery and utensils. The location is in a typical living area of stone town, very quiet at night, short walk to Jaws Corner and everything else. There is a local bakery in the neighborhood with very tasty warm bread. Staff were extremely nice and helpful. In one word - impressive. Definitely we will stay in this property the next time we come to the Stone Town.

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.

Lots of cute little streets and lane ways full of restaurants and souvenir shops. The streets are narrow so be vigilant to traffic and motor bikes. Streets are also relatively clean. A good effort has been made in this respect by local authorities . We saw a few garbage bins and even saw a few recycle bins . Congratulations on tour efforts. Keep it up

Stone Town was adorable, easy, and fun to walk around!

Stone Town was adorable, easy, and fun to walk around! There were lots of good restaurants, shops to poke your head into, hotels with rooftop bars, and interesting history and architecture. The main market is packed with spices, nuts, fruit, and more, and is very interesting without being too overwhelming.

Stonetown could be very crowded and you will have the locals...

Stonetown could be very crowded and you will have the locals trying to sell things, to be your guide, to take you on tours but apart of all this hassle is a really nece and safe place to visit. You will be in contact with locals, with their culture and you will be able to bargain the prices. We went to Lukmaan restaurant, is a buffet you eat very well and is cheap. You can choose between octopus, fish, meat, rice, vegetables etc everything that you can imagine. For the bar I will suggest Tatu, is a bar with 3 floors with a really nice view to the sea and the beers was cheap 5000tz and is near sunset bar African house hotel you can't miss it.
