Search boats in Zanzibar

A lively, clean, cosy place right in the middle of a busy maze of tiny streets in the heart of Stone town Close to the harbour, ferry and boat services. Close to Mercury restaurant. Lovely hosts, Gertrude and her female staff. Very positive vibe and helpful tips. You can request simple snacks if needed.

The staff were the real winners here! They made us feel like we were VIP special guests and were all so friendly and helpful. They organised a local sail boat ride and there were lots of facilities available. We had a table reserved for us every night at the restaurant with a nice view of the beach. The room was stunning~ it truly felt like we were on a retreat and our room was immaculately made up by the house keeping staff. We hope to return one day!

Location is good, not on the main beach but only a short walk to it. The beach directly in front of the hotel is main where locals park their boats. We stayed in 3 hotels between Kendwa and Nungwi beach. This was the best value for money hotel. It’s not expensive and the hotel reflected that but we’re not mad about this at all.

The hotel is very beautiful and well located in Stone Town. We had the most amazing view from our room. Most of the tours leave right on the beach so it was very easy to have breakfast and go to our boat without a taxi drive. Stone Town is a very pleasent place, wish I had stayed more than 2 nights.

The hotel manager took every effort to ensure we had an enjoyable stay. The restaurant and in-room dining were both excellent. The Pol Roger champagne for breakfast was a nice touch. The sea view terrace is a lovely place to relax, watch the traditional boats, and the amazing sunsets. All the staff are extremely helpful. The location is wonderful - tree-lined circle, several restaurant, two heritage hotels and very close to all the main shopping streets and winding lanes of Stone Town.

Lovely hotel, comfortable, with friendly staff. Lovely bar and restaurant. Beach very close by, but not really usable for swimming as there are lots of rocks just off the beach and boats moored up in the morning, although good for sunbathing.

The location is perfect. It's near Kendwa beach and also near where local communities park their fishing boats.

A charming boutique hotel with a relaxed atmosphere. The staff was very friendly and competent. We liked the ecological set up. Everything was clean and well organized. The food in the restaurant was tasty and of high quality. The beach is beautiful and well maintained. Swimming at high tide was pleasant and the sea is calm due to the reef further out. We mainly relaxed, but did also some exciting sailing with a traditional outrigger boat.
