    I spent a night at Shaba Boutique Hotel before flying out of Zanzibar and it was perfect. I was able to check in a bit earlier and the room was stunning, the bed and all the decor felt true to Stone Town and the staff were so friendly and helpful...

    The hotel is located right in the heart of Stone Town which was great as I could easily walk to anywhere. The hotel staff were even more amazing, thank you Bianca and Ali for making me feel at home.

    Charming, attentive staff. Great location in old town: far from the noise but close walk to everything. Tasty breakfast and great hospitality! Bianca was a wonderful staff member and made sure our stay was great.
