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
