The bed sheets are too bad, they should be acrylic or chemical fiber, they are pilling. The hotel staff is very nice, the front desk efficiency needs to be improved, the hotel location is good, there are many hotels nearby, if you are not in a hurry, you can go to the nearby to find one. It is not worth the price, it can't be compared with the hotels in the north.

The overall feeling is good, but the network is not good and it is a bit far from the swimming pool.

It happened to be living in the former residence of Queen's lead singer Freddie Mercury. It was really an amazing experience. The appearance of the hotel is good, but the internal facilities are average. The bed and pillows are not comfortable, and the breakfast taste is average. It is better than the good location and the experience of this wonderful celebrity's former residence.

The food here was amazing!! Buffet breakfast was the best I’ve ever had. Not your typical boring inclusive breakfast. This had local favorites full of flavor. The staff are all lovely and and welcoming.
Pool areas were clean and the building is full of character. Loved it!

We stayed three nights in Stone Town at Tembo before moving onto the beaches. It's a great location to explore the city and to take tours from, right near the old town and beach, safe and clean, friendly staff and good breakfast with plenty of options.

I loved the architecture of Tembo House, the staff and convenient location. Stone Town is busy but at night it is quiet and not a problem for sleeping. The breakfast is great and being right by the beach and having a designated place to lay out is a huge plus. I stayed in the Apartments across the street on the top floor and honestly loved it! These are old buildings so there is no lift/elevator, so someone can help you carry your luggage if necessary. The room was HUGE and I had a little balcony to see the city which was very cute. I did have to kill a couple mosquitos but I think that’s just part of the weather I was experiencing. Putting on the A/C/fan prevented bites though. Definitely a great choice if you want a central spot in Stone Town that is easy to find, as well.
