Tembo B&B Apartments, hotel in Zanzibar City

Tembo B&B Apartments in Zanzibar City has 4-star accommodation with a private beach area and a rooftop pool. Boasting full-day security, this property also provides guests with an outdoor fireplace.

We stayed at Tembo B&B Apartments for two nights before heading to Kendwa Beach, and overall, it was a pleasant experience. Check-in was smooth, and our room was super clean with a working AC, which made for a comfortable stay. While the apartments are not located directly within the hotel, we knew in advance that we could still access the hotel’s facilities, and the short walk to the hotel was no issue for us. The restaurant at the hotel was decent—nothing extraordinary, but also not bad. The breakfast was ok. Overall, we had a good stay at Tembo B&B Apartments. It’s a convenient base for exploring Stonetown, with comfortable rooms and access to hotel amenities.

    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.
