Tembo House Hotel
Hotel in Zanzibar City
Offering a pool and restaurant, the historic Tembo House Hotel is located in Zanzibar City, a 3-minute walk from the Old Fort and House of Wonders. Free Wi-Fi access is available. The room decoration and hotel decoration is superb! We felt like traveling back to the colonial era. There's even an antique piano in the lobby. The view from the room is awesome - we were sad to leave the hotel! Breakfast was amazing and had many varieties. Location is really strategic - Freddie Mercury House is right at the corner, and the promenade of Farodhani Gardens - House of Wonders, etc are just < 5 min walks. Even the Anglican Church and Lukmaan are < 15 min walks if you're not lost. The hijabi lady housekeeper that cleaned our room is very friendly. When we come back, new towels are given in the shape of elephants and rabbits - very cute and creative. A jewelry store nearby gave us a huge discount on Tanzanite after we mentioned we stayed at Tembo. What a perk!
Dhow Palace Hotel
Hotel in Zanzibar City
Centrally located in Zanzibar’s Stone Town, Dhow Palace Hotel is set in a historical building from 1559. It features a swimming pool, restaurant and roof-top terrace with panoramic views. I had been to quite a few places advertised well online and not delivering in person. This place was amazing all the way around. I was at a point where I just needed to feel safe and have cell service. The palace was that for me but also stunningly beautiful and friendly. I was safe, super comfortable, had WiFi in my room. And I would go there over and over. They even let me leave my bags after I checked out because my flight was late at night. I had to be out of my room but was still able to hang out in the lobby, use the pool and walk around knowing my things were safe.

Golden Tulip Zanzibar Resort
Hotel in Zanzibar City
Set in Zanzibar Region, 4.3 mi from Stone Town, Golden Tulip Zanzibar Resort features a year-round outdoor pool and free WiFi is available in the rooms. The staff at Golden tulip made us feel at home. Anything we needed they provided. They allowed us to check in early and check our late. All of our rooms were satisfactory. Everyday we were greeted with jambo. Usually when we travel we don’t spend much time in the hotel but Golden Tulip made it so comfortable we didn’t feel the need to leave. The food was amazing. Breakfast is complimentary and it wasn’t like a regular continental breakfast. You could really taste the effort. Shout out to Julius! He remember all of our omelet styles. He even remembered that one member of our party never came to breakfast. Lol! I am not one who looks forward to revisiting countries but I’d go back to Zanzibar to stay at Golden Tulip resort in a heartbeat. Did I mention every night when we returned from the city our beds were turned down for us? Amazing! This stay exceeded all of my expectations. This was my first time out of the house since March 2020 and I couldn’t have felt more comfortable. Thank you Golden Tulip Staff

I'm glad we stayed in Stone Town as there is more to see and do there than in the main city. After dark we made sure we were close to the hotel as it would have been easy to get lost. You do get accosted quite a lot about taxis/ trips/ buying things - but a firm and friendly refusal is usually good enough. Lovely down by the water front as the sun goes down with locals enjoying themselves as well as tourists. The doors are amazing!

My favourite places were Mnemba Island for snorkelling, Nakupenda Beach for the most pristine beaches, Spice farm tour, and sunset dhow cruise at Old Town. You should also do an evening city walk at Forodhani, which is along the stretch of the beach at Old Town.

Don’t hesitate.
Don’t hesitate. Just go. It’s amazing!! Be sure to take time to wander and discover. Find the antique shop to buy amazing historical artefacts like compasses over 100 years old, jewellery and so much more. Go to the Forodhani night market for dinner and head straight to the stall that is serving Urojo. There will be many locals in line. it is worth the wait!! Also get a serve of the Zanzibar pizza.

You get what you pay for.
You get what you pay for. Can be a dream location based on activities chosen and available budget. Carry your bargaining hat. You have to bargain during purchases of souvenirs, boat rides, local fabrics etc. They tend to overprice items due to the large tourist population on the island. Due to the multicultural factors they have an array of foods. Had a challenge with the shopping element, there are No major supermarkets only kiosks. Hence carry your favorite brands. For Nightlife lovers that is close to non existent however some beach front hotels have a bar.

The old town is nice for walking around - though folks will try to sell you souvenirs, and you'll have to negotiate for a good price. I wouldn't like to see the city over-developed and commercialized, but some renovation is in order along many of the streets. It is rustic, but this is as much a positive as a negative. A bit tricky with kids - I'd have walked around a lot more - but plenty to keep them entertained, and for the parents, too! A highlight was the small but informative Freddie Mercury museum, in the building where he spent his early years. Some will say it is only worth a brief visit, but for a fan it is a must. The area along the water is inviting, with some nice boutique-stalls and places to eat. Plenty of other restaurants around as well. Some of the more popular ones will require a reservation. Our short stay meant we were only able to visit a couple - but with exhausted kids, that was enough!

From $125 per night
We absolutely loved our stay at Emerson on Hurumzi. All the staff are so professional and genuinely friendly, the hotel and the rooms are beautifully designed, and the location is great, right in the middle of the city. We experienced the rooftop dinner on our first night and it was one of the highlights of our holiday. The food was excellent and the atmosphere among the guests, staff, and entertainers was unforgettable. If you're planning to stay in Stone Town, then Emerson on Hurumzi is your only option!

The old palace is wonderful to visit and the rooms are big and very comfortable. We stayed in a nice room with a balcony. The swimming pool is clean and enjoyable, definitely a good advantage of the hotel after a long walk in Stone Town during the day. 10/10 for the position as it's in the city center and all places and restaurants in stone town are reachable by foot.
