The hotel is situated in the very centre of Stone Town, you wouldn‘t wish for a better location. It is not directly on the beach but both walking to the beach and to numerous restaurants and cafes is just matter of couple of minutes. The hotel itself is in oriental style that gives it some special charm. The restaurant is on the roof which is not so high but the views make you feel like in the 18th century, which we found interesting. The staff is very friendly but they do not always address to the mentioned problems. One can feel a bit of lack of professionalism in the sphere but because they are all nice young people, it is not a big problem, one can always improve themselves:) The breakfast was good, not very different from the breakfast in other hotels on the island. As usual you get fruit and then can choose from salty and sweet options of breakfast. The room was very small but in fact there was enough space for our stuff and clothes, and you have everything you usually need in hotels, the bed was big and good but it takes most of the space in the room, so do not expect moving around much in the room because there is not much room:))
The bathroom was not small and I would call it comfortable what refers to the facilities, but we could not get hot water even though we turned the switch on and waited for a really long time, so we had to shower with cold water every day and though we told the staff about it, it was not fixed (either not possible or forgotten). The shower heads (both the big and the small ones) were very old and even rusty, the small hand shower was not functioning at all, so we had to use the big one and make our hair wet even when we did not want it. The shower switch remained in my hand the very first time I tried to turn it on, and I barely touched it.

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.

Different styles from different times (african, muslim, maybe also european). Interesting experience is the market place and the night market for dinner under the stars. Also the hammam is worth to visit (with good gide)!

It was lovely and we got to see the history of the slave trade (albeit sadly as it was a horrendous practice). The beaches are also very beautiful (Jambiani Beach was where we mostly went.) The spice farm tour and markets were lovely as we got all kinds of fresh spices.
However, it is very tourist-centric. Payment is in dollars everywhere and people are always trying to sell you something. Feels very commercialised.

Dirty, smelly, full of approaching ~beach boys, sellers and beggars. Much more aggressive than up north. Mostly came for a Nakupenda tour. Nice place but be aware that it’s crowded - by lots of tourists and then of course even the aggressive up in your face wanting to touch you sellers there too.
The more upscaled beach hotels and restaurants are nice though.

Stonetown is a cute, small city with arab influence.
Stonetown is a cute, small city with arab influence. It is worth taking the boat to prison island to learn more about the history and see the turtles. 2 days is sufficient. In the evening there is a night market with different food stalls.
We’ve really enjoyed our stay at the Cofffee House! The staff was amazing, the food and coffee were delicious. Everybody is so friendly and helpful.
The hotel arranged all our activities, we highly recommend to do the tour in Stone Town with a local guide to really get to know the city and the culture. The snorkeling at Chumbe Island is also great.
Thank you so much for everything, wish we stayed there longer!
Look no further in Stone Town, Spice Palace is the best, Perfect choice, everything was super fine, easily accessible from either ferry or airport. The hotel is located few meters from Forodhani Park.
Great and highly skilled staff, great breakfast at the Hotel with varieties of flesh to baked stuffs you can choose from.
I highly recommend this hotel while in Zanzibar city, THE BEST IN STONE TOWN
Breakfast was fine; a buffet, with enough food and enough variety. The restaurant was very pleasant, semi-outdoor setting by the swimming pool, in the garden. The hotel is very attractive, and located in Stone Town which I really liked. However, this meant that the last 100 metres to the hotel were on foot, which was a bit of a surprise on arrival. Luckily it was not raining at that time.
The location is excelent, in front of the see and close to historical area and markets/shops.
The staff is very friendly.
There is a nice roof top to see the sunset.
Although the beach in front of the hotel is not very good to swim the hotel has a nice pool.
The tour in Stone Town and Prison Island/Nakupenda that the hotel organized were very good.
really excellent location right on ‘jaws corner’ but still spacious enough rooms and private bathroom - valuable commodity for this price range in stone town! staff were friendly and housekeeping staff were particularly accommodating and did a great job. the hotel has a rooftop bar which has well priced food and drink as well as a good breakfast.
Beautiful hotel in Stone Town, perfectly located to visit the city center walking and to take a boat to Prison Island. The room was comfortable and clean with hot shower. Breakfast is also very nice and served on a beautiful terrace. The owner and the staff were so nice and friendly, really supportive. We would definitely come back!
The Manor house is a super cute place to stay in Zanzibar city. The staff is more than amazing, I am really impressed by the people who work in the hotel. It's clean and perfect for relaxing. Plus they have their own garden with wonderful fruits and everything is super fresh!
This hotel is right in stone town so good location to explore. The staff made us feel special with rose petals and room decorated after informing them of our engagement
The rooftop was lovely to see sunset and good drinks
The breakfast was really good!
Security on door
Stay away from the hotel. The bad far outweighs the good. It may have been nice in its glory days.
Breakfast was acceptable. Although the coffee is the worst in Zanzibar. The view from the rooftop is nice. Location in stone town is very central.
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!
A 4 star hotel surrounded by Stone Town's main 5 star hotels. A pretty great location. Air conditioned lobby which is greeaaat if you visit when it's hot. Rooms felt spacious enough. The staff were really nice and conversational.
We wanted to stay one night in Stone Town before we flew out. It was great proximity to the airport, right on the beach & near many shops. It was clean, staff was excellent and the buffet breakfast was great
It was not bad hotel but maybe i expect more for 4* hotel. Breakfast was very good, can choose from many varyaty.. near everythingbin the city...i recommend it for short stay only in Stone Town
The owner was very nice to us and offered to help us find the main attractions in Stone Town. We were two girls and we felt really safe there. The hotel has the perfect location downtown!
Great location if you stay at the Hotel. It's right on the beach and in the hub of Stonetown. Staff were super friendly and accommodating. The breakfast was included and it was fabulous!!
Perfect location for Stone Town, popular hotel right on the beach.
The room was traditional, clean and quiet.
Friendly staff - special thanks to Isaac in the restaurant.
