Excellent location to walk around Stone Town and waterfront, helpful staff, good breakfast, good wifi. Payment by Visa is possible. Staff helped us to get a parking space for our rental car next to the hotel. We had to check out early and we were served breakfast at 6:30 despite official breakfast time starting at 7:30. This hotel is absolutely recommendable!

Spacious and neat apartment with a nice decor located in a quiet area of Stone Town and a few minutes away from the main road, shops and restaurants. The host was very responsive and flexible. Each room has its own ensuite bathroom and toilet. The host helped me discover Stone Town and Zanzibar, which I was visiting for the 1st time and arranged for airport pick-up and drop-off. It is good value for money.

We loved Angel (the host). She was so helpful and we were allowed to leave our luggage for the whole day after check out. The location was perfect, aside the trouble but in short walking distance of the main tourist attractions of Stone Town. The room was really clean, the ac works and the breakfast was good. We felt like home there and will come back next time!

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! 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 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.

The old town has many narrow streets and alleys.

The old town has many narrow streets and alleys. Only a moped can squeeze through, and you almost get run over by them here and there. The houses are often very dilapidated. One church was unfortunately locked and couldn't be visited. The cathedral, with its exhibition and memorial to the slave market, was very interesting.

Stone Town is a crossroads of ancient cultures, declared a World Heritage Site. The intricately carved wooden doors, studded with nails like those in India, are one of its main architectural features, showcasing exquisite craftsmanship. Strolling through its narrow streets and markets is undoubtedly an unforgettable experience.

The city is charming, narrow streets, I would say alleys with motorcycle traffic, one part is full of tourist shops and in my opinion it has lost a bit of its social fabric, which instead has remained in the part near the market, you can stay at least two days
