Shivo Guest House, hotel in Kiembi Samaki

Shivo Guest House enjoys a location in Kiembi Samaki, 5.3 miles from Cinema Afrique and 5.4 miles from Old Fort of Zanzibar.

Chef Rashid cooks a great meal! The facilities were clean and well-kept, but we were most impressed with the dinner. Try the coconut curry! You won't regret it.

Stone town sea view, hotel in Zanzibar City

Stone town sea view provides free Wifi and rooms with air conditioning in Zanzibar City. There's a private entrance at the guest house for the convenience of those who stay.

Location was perfect, but somewhat hidden. Through an obscure unmarked door that fit the exotic surroundings and the remnants of Arabic culture and antique furnishings that embellished the atmosphere. I prefer the well-worn remembrances of former glories to restorations like the Dhou Palace across the street (at many times the price). Great budget hotel with very modern plumbing fixtures, huge room with volumous ceilings. Top floor room was well worth the steep stair access (which felt like climbing to a loft -- which I enjoyed!). Balconies on both sides of the lounge area gave sample views of Stone Town and the sea. Would definitely stay again!

BABAbora house, hotel in Ngambo

Providing city views, BABAbora house in Ngambo offers accommodations and a terrace.

Deserves a much higher rating on Booking. Lovely and welcoming staff. The owner is very responsive. Location is right in the heart of Stonetown, so it’s easy to walk everywhere, but still quiet. Large rooms and private bathroom was clean with hot water. Excellent value for money. The owner kindly arranged a very early morning taxi and checked if everything was going well. A very caring man. I would definitely stay here again. Google maps has it in the wrong place, so you need to head for the Hindu temple or Secret Garden.

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.
