Tembo B&B Apartments

Zanzibar City

Just a 2-minute walk from Stone Town Beach and 0.7 miles from Peace Memorial Museum, Tembo B&B Apartments features accommodations in Zanzibar City, with a rooftop pool.

This is one of the properties of Tembo. The buildings are close to each other, but they are separated by streets, with the reception and restaurant for breakfast located across the street at the Tembo Hotel. The property is clean and spacious, with amenities like a safe and mini-fridge. Towels and water are provided. I particularly liked the design of the windows and the wooden furniture, which give the place a nice atmosphere and a sense of history. Tembo Hotel has a beach, but it's not ideal for swimming since there are many boats around, and the water isn't as clear as in the north of Zanzibar. However, you can still relax on the sunbeds and enjoy the atmosphere. Tourist attractions: The property is very convenient for exploring local attractions. From the Tembo Hotel beach, you can take a boat to Prison Island to see the giant and ancient turtles. The Freddie Mercury House, where he was born, is just a minute’s walk away. Right around the corner, you can wander down narrow streets lined with souvenir shops. Jump from one street to another, and take the time to admire the wooden doors and spot the differences between Indian and Arabic architectural styles. When you reach the Jaw Corner, head to the rooftop bar for a break and enjoy a drink. Afterward, you can continue walking until you reach the Fortress. There isn’t much to see there now, as it’s mostly a market. Along the embankment, you’ll also see young locals jumping into the water. For going out: The property is alcohol-free, but if you head in the opposite direction from the Freddie Mercury House, you'll find several nice options for drinks at rooftop bars and places with verandas offering beautiful sea views. I would definitely recommend this place for a stay. It's very convenient for exploring Stone Town and also perfect for some relaxation. Let me know if you'd like to add or adjust anything!

    Very, very clean. Super friendly and helpful staff. Good breakfast (buffet). Good location - right by the ferry terminal and within a 5-minute walk from the main gate into Stonetown. A cozy and fairly large swimming pool, located in a lovely garden. A 3-minute walk to the nearest beach (albeit small) where you can swim or catch a small, wooden boat to Prison Island or Nakupenda, etc. Overall, a very good experience.
