Shivo Guest House, hotel in Stone Town

Ms Shakira is a very attentive receptionist, sharp as a tack, quick to help with any general enquiries, be it taxis or money exchange. Ms Salma is lovely, she cooked me one of the tastiest meals I ate during my 10 days in Zanzibar! Thankyou ladies! Also, for the takeaway breakfast. Its only 5 minutes to get to the airport, so it's very handy if you have an early flight. Super comfortable beds! Budget friendly too.

Nashu House Stone Town, hotel in Stone Town

Set within 100 metres of Stone Town Beach and 1.2 km of Peace Memorial Museum in Ngambo, Nashu House Stone Town offers accommodation with seating area.

For the price this place was really great. It was a little hard to find but they reach out and give you contact details ahead of time. Its in a really central location but still quiet. Place was very clean and room was large. Had a shared bathroom which was cleaned often. Was only slightly more than a hostel but definitely a step up

Kwale Residence, hotel in Stone Town

Boasting a garden and views of garden, Kwale Residence is a recently renovated homestay situated in Kiembi Samaki, 6.1 km from Peace Memorial Museum.

We stayed at the Kwale residence for one night, and it was conveniently close to the airport, which made it easy to catch our early flight the next morning. The beds were comfortable, and having AC and a kitchen was a plus. Overall, the Kwale residence was fine for a short stay if you're just passing through and need a place to sleep before your next flight.
