Tembo B&B Apartments, hotel in Zanzibar City

Boasting an outdoor swimming pool and a 24-hour front desk, Tembo B&B Apartments is attractively situated in Zanzibar City, 600 metres from The Zanzibar Curio shop and 1.1 km from Peace Memorial...

The location of the hotel is really convenient. Although we stayed at the BB apartments which are not in the main building, we did not expecience any problems. There was always security at the front door which felt safe because Stone town can be a little bit scary to walk around alone especially at night. Enjoyed the breakfast by the sea!

    Loved our stay here, everything was done right, unbelievable value for money, and the location is right in the middle of everything, quiet, clean, beautiful rooms. My highlight was the charming conversations I had with the reception staff, which was a real treat! I highly recommend and it is my new home in Stone town.

    Brilliant location in the heart of Stonetown. Close proximity to all the key locations. The staff were really lovely and made me feel welcome. The breakfasts were good and kept me going until dinner time. I loved the quaint feeling of the place, shabby chic is how I describe it. The authenticity and Zanzabarian decor was amazing. A delightful boutique hotel.

    I got sick when I arrived and they were super helpful. Farees and the lady working there made sure I was comfortable. They got me water, medicine and food. Very kind of them. I had a private room with a good bed, simple but practical bathroom with hot water and a good airconditioner. It’s a simple place but with a great location, for this price it’s really good! I can definitely recommend staying here.

    Really nice hotel. Great location in the city center. And very good value for the price you pay. I love the room, it was gorgeous. WIth AC and ceiling fan. Pretty quiet at night even though it's in the center. Breakfast is basic, but it's like that almost all over Zanzibar. I liked it though :) Staff is very friendly and happy to help with everything.
