Search hotels in Zanzibar City

We chose Bottoms Up for our last day in Zanzibar. We spent two days in Stone Town before so we already knew our ways around, however, this hotel really has great location as it’s very close to all interesting spots in the city. The rooms has everything we needed, the roof balcony is amazing but prepare yourself for many stairs! We had a late evening flight and our room was already booked for the day, however, they let us use the hostel bathroom to take a shower before our flight and they looked after our baggage which was super helpful!

I have booked this place only to have a chance to sleep for 5-6 hours. I came to Zanzibar at night around 4am so until I could go and check in to other hotel near the beach I decided to find something cheap and close to airport to get some sleep so I only stayed at this hotel for 5 hours so I cant say much. But the receptionist were nice and room is ok. If its just for 1 night to stay near airport because you need its fine, otherwise for longer stay in too far from city center and there is nothing around that much near hotel.

We used the hotel only for a couple of hours in order to rest and have a shower before our boat trip to Dar es Salaam. The location was perfect for having a walk around the city and was also walking distance from the port. The hotel has basic facilities but it was clean and served its purpose. The value for money its a bit high but everything in Zanzibar is overprized. I would recommend it if you have a short stay in stone town and you dont want to spend much money.

We would recommend this hotel, its located directly in stone town, everything in the old city is reachable by foot within 15 minutes. Try a pizza at the night market @ Mr chocolate! The rooms are big and very comfortable. The personal is nice, maybe a bit "too much" in selling tours. Anyway - we booked a city walking tour and the prison island transport and enjoyed both of them! The breakfast is also very delicious and has a variety of things to choose.

The location was perfect and the restaurant food was amazing. The staff were so welcoming, friendly and attentive and the manager was very professional and helpful during our whole stay. My partner unfortunately became ill during our stay in Stone Town and the manager helped us quickly to travel to a nearby hospital. He even visited us in the hospital the following morning to check on how we were doing. 5 stars for this hotel. Thank you Tembo and all the staff.

The hotel lays on a beautiful environment, I liked the huge terraces with a view of the ocean. The breakfast includes a glass of fruit juice, tea, instant coffee, a plate of eggs, beans/mushrooms/chips and a plate of fruit. Simple, but huge portions. My room had a fan and an air-conditionig as well, net around the bed. You can reach the PUBLIC! beach within a few stairs. The city can be reached by bodaboda (motorbikes) easily within 5 minutes.

Really great location. Stone throws from stone town (lol) and then the beach restaurants, so really good for exploring and walking. Rooftop restaurant has some great views over the city and the pool was lovely with a lush garden like vibe. They even let us check in a little early and use the pool after check out. lovely people. REALLY comfortable bed and very spacious rooms. They had these cute chairs and I just need them in my life.

This is a three room gem of a hotel in Stone Town. Mr Thali is a very accommodating host that arranged another space when we arrived with an extra friend. The room was super clean, fantastically located in Stone Town (you can get there by car with is not true of every hotel in the old part) and has a wonderfully chill rooftop lounge for the tenants. If I am ever in Stone town again, this place will be first on my list.

A great location on the beach with the restaurant on the seafront - a lovely place to sit or lounge and watch the sunset. Very atmospheric in the evening. A lovely historic characterful restored hotel with a nice pool. Great breakfast but evening meals a little disappointing and pricey. Good base for exploring Stone Town. I would definitely recommended it.

A good place to stay for the night if you are planning to stay in Stone Town. Great location, a bit tricky to reach by car (especially if you are driving) but walking distance to all main attractions... you can hire a boat to prison island from the beach just opposite to the hotel. We stayed in a beautiful room with a big balcony.

Ideally located hotel in Stone Town. I had the 6-bed male dorm all to myself. Good water heater for shower. AC weak, but I was fine with the ceiling fan, better for mosquitoes anyway (nets are there, but I didn't use it and didn't get bit once). Super friendly night desk fellow looking out for you.

Spice Palace is in the heart of Stone Town, yet quiet and relaxed. The breakfast was exceptional, the atmosphere tranquil yet exotic, the room quiet, clean and comfortable. We enjoyed exploring Stone Town and coming home to our wonderful hotel for 2 glorious days in Zanzibar.

Small hotel conveniently located in the heart of the old city for a short stop in Stone town. Rooms are clean, restaurant is good. Do not expect luxury but everything is well managed for the price you pay.

Good value, very well located in Stone Town, close to attractions and the beach. The hostel was very clean and staff was helpful. Also they had a good breakfast but took time (Normal in Tanzania)
