Dhow Palace Hotel
8.5 (80 reviews)

Dhow Palace Hotel ★★★★

📍 Baghani St, Stone Town

"The location is good. The presidential suite is very beautiful. BUT: 1. Upon check-in, they tried to upgrade us to a regular suite (it's right next to the presidential suite) instead of the one we reserved. They probably hoped we wouldn't notice. 2. We paid the city tax upon check-in. Then, upon check-out, they started asking us to pay it again. They need to get their payment records in order. 3. The breakfast was average, nothing special."

Princess Salme Inn ★★★

📍 Dega, Stone Town

"After our pleasant experience back in 2012, we decided to come back in March 2016. We once again were greeted by courtesy, cleanliness and the crew's welcoming attitude, especially Neema and Juma (who are in charge of the magnificent breakfast served every morning) as well as Gertrude who helped us with internet and our room's safety box. Thanks to everybody for helping me to practice with my beginner level spoken Swahili! I highly recommend this structure to everyone. It's quiet, close to both the town center and the ferry Harbor, very clean, breakfast is rich and the staff superb. Nawashukuru wote! Asante sana!"

Antonio Garden Hotel Hotels in Stone Town

Antonio Garden Hotel

"Good place for a solo traveller. Located conveniently in Stone town Zanzibar so you can easily explore. The room was basic enough for a solo traveller. Loved the services from the "Masaais".No specific hotel parking as Stone town has narrow streets"

Forodhani Park Hotel Hotels in Stone Town

Forodhani Park Hotel

"This hotel is definitely not a 4-star property as advertised. The reception manager was not particularly friendly or welcoming, which made the experience less pleasant. The rooms were ok with very few amenities. That said, there are some positives. The breakfast was excellent, with fresh fruit and delicious local pastries offered each morning. Abdulhamid was especially helpful — he went out of his way to assist with organizing tours, and he provided useful tips and clear directions throughout our stay. The hotel is also centrally located and within walking distance of restaurants and Fordhani park, which is very convenient. Booking directly with the property or walking in can get you a cheaper rate. Overall, while the location and breakfast were highlights, the hotel does not meet 4-star standards."

Beyt Al Salaam Hotels in Stone Town

Beyt Al Salaam

"AVOID THIS HOTEL We had a reservation for 2 rooms from our travel agent with confirmation from an online booking service with receipt and voucher. We arrived and they only had 1 room booked in their system. The room was unavailable as it was morning so we went on a tour. At our return they still said there was one room only but they could not give it to us as we were 4 people! A trainee was extremely difficult so we asked for the manager who was also not very accommodating but allowed us to move our luggage into one room while charging us for taxes for 4. The room had no towels, we asked for towels which they did not provide. We provided the confirmation of payment and voucher and went for a walk. At our return at 9pm, we still had no towels and no second room. They were very rude and unhelpful. The hotel was empty. The room we got was moldy and stuffy. We booked a second room in an hotel nearby called Maru Maru which which was a lot better and cheaper Avoid this hotel"

"Very Good 😉"

Zanzibar Palace Hotel Hotels in Stone Town

Zanzibar Palace Hotel

"The location is at the quiet side if the Stone Town. Due to it is situated inside a small alley, the directions could be quite complicated and we were lost several times to head back to the hotel. Despite being assured that it's safe, we were tapped by few mischievous children when we passed by a school near the hotel. That said, the room and hotel itself was great. We particularly enjoyed the breeze at the open air loft, where we could view the sea and ships from far away. It was indeed relaxing. The historical bed and bath in the room made the experience so unique. The only downside was there was insufficient of hot water for the bath. The breakfast wise was in fact the best we had in Tanzania, not to mention the impeccable hospitality provided by the staff there. Special shout out to the helpful staff who assisted us with our luggage during check in and out. Bear in mind on the steep staircase up to the room and inside the room to the loft. It might not be suitable for those who have knee problem, as you literally need to climb up and down everytime to the washroom. Otherwise, it was quite a memorable stay."

Kholle House Hotels in Stone Town

Kholle House

"I had a wonderful stay at Kholle House Hotel and felt very welcome from the first moment. Everyone was incredibly kind and attentive. The food was amazing and definitely a highlight. The house itself is beautiful and full of history. Staying in the former home of Princess Kholle made me feel like a princess myself. A special thank you to Yakub, who really stayed in my memory, and to the whole lovely team. Asante sana – I would happily come back anytime."

Dhow Palace Hotel ★★★★
"Pros: - Centrally located - Good architecture and interiors - Decent breakfast spread Cons: - Extremely poor service - Room was shabby and unclean - Electricity went off twice in the night when we were asleep. Had to go down to the reception at 4 AM and ask the staff to fix it, as the phone in the room did not work. Again, it went off around 7 AM"

Mango Restaurant&Apartment Hotel(China) ★★★★
"I didn't realize it was a Chinese hotel when I booked. Upon arrival, I was pleasantly surprised to find the owner, who was Chinese, very welcoming and attentive. I booked a double room, but it came with a living room, a fully equipped kitchen, and a separate wet and dry bathroom. The hotel also has its own restaurant, offering delicious local and Chinese cuisine for all three meals. The hostess was especially helpful in arranging our itinerary, arranging the driver, and negotiating a price. It was a very satisfying trip."
