Nomad Cave- Stonetown, hotel in Stone Town

Just a few steps from Old Fort of Zanzibar and a 4-minute walk from House of Wonders, Nomad Cave- Stonetown features accommodations in Stone Town, with a garden.

Located in the very center of Stone Town, we were targeting the location. Clean cozy room with a suprisingly comfortable bed. Helpful host, who suggested few things to do and allowed to keep the bags in the hotel after the checkout and to leave until the evening (he had a night flight)

The House of Royals, hotel in Stone Town

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.
