The House of Royals, hotel in Zanzibar City

The House of Royals in Zanzibar City provides accommodations with an open-air bath, a garden, and a bar. This beachfront property offers access to free Wifi and free private parking.

The Villa is a jewel. it was saved and restored from a nature that was literally claiming and swallowing it back. The White Villa stands Out from its beautiful green garden but without being intrusive with nature. The garden and the Door Collection absolutely deserve a visit. the room was really well designed and furnished. you have really the feeling to be in a small bubble suspended out of time.

Jabar Lodge, hotel in Zanzibar City

Offering a garden, Jabar Lodge features accommodations in Zanzibar City. This beachfront property offers access to a terrace, free private parking, and free Wifi.

Jabar Lodge is located outside a small town about 30 minutes drive north of Stone Town with sea view. There is a beach but not a sandy one that is good to walk on or to enter the water from. The individual cottages are made of woven palm fronds, thatched roof, front porch facing the sea, and fully functioning bathroom. There is a very nice, modern hotel a 3 minute walk on the local road where you can pay to spend the day or just go to eat in their restaurant overlooking the water. The breakfast was always excellent starting with a fresh fruit plate, coffee or tea, eggs and toast. The owner Jamal is very nice and we were able to pay him to take us into town for a day and to a spice farm. I didn't think the spice farm was worth the money of the visit but it was very close by and run by the local community.

Smiles Stone Town Hotel was superb! Our group particularly appreciated the interactions with the staff, particularly Ali from the front desk. Everybody had a smile and was ready to help with our thousand questions. They were also willing to hold our bags when we went on a short visit to another part of the island for a few days. I would highly recommend this place.

    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.
