Sharazad Wonders Boutique, hotel in Zanzibar City

Boasting a terrace, bar and views of city, Sharazad Wonders Boutique is situated in Zanzibar City, 200 metres from Stone Town Beach.

For stone town it was a good location, allthough with big bags it can be difficult from the road. The hotel is nice and has great potential, the food was good, and the staff were lovely. They let us have our room from 8am as we arrived early which was good of them and we appreciated that alot after a long flight. If the power cuts had not of happened I'd of been happy with the stay and the hotel does pretty much match the pictures and you do feel safe when in the hotel.

Shaba Boutique Hotel, hotel in Zanzibar City

Situated in the heart of Stone Town. It is located just 500 metres from the fruit and fish market of Darajan.

Apart from the hotel itself, which is great (cleanliness, location, big room, comfy bed, style…), the best is the staff, who goes the extra mile to make you feel at home. Special mention to Bianca for being such an amazing host and take care of us. If we come back to Stone Town we will stay there again without doubts.

Tembo House Hotel, hotel in Zanzibar City

Offering three pool and restaurant, the historic Tembo House Hotel is located in Zanzibar City, a 3-minute walk from the Old Fort and House of Wonders. Free Wi-Fi access is available.

The location, rear entrance was right on the beach and also easy access to the town centre from the front entrance. It is pretty much next to the Freddy Mercury musesum. We stayed in room 27, a beautiful junior suite that looked over the ocean. We only ate breakfast there but the choice was plentyful & tasted great, they have a crepe & omelette station made fresh while you wait. We also liked that while the building was renovated to modern standards they had kept the style to an authentic tradition - big chunky futniture & doorways.

    We just had to visit, as my wife is the great granddaughter...

    We just had to visit, as my wife is the great granddaughter of Sir Tharia Topan who started the idea of building "The Dispensary" from his own funds to help the provide for the first time, proper organized health care for the locals. After the Revolution in 1965 the building slowly fell into disrepair until some 20 years ago the Aga Khan Foundation took it over and finally reopened it in 2023 as a functioning health center with the latest imaging equipment. Much of the building is open to tourists who are interested in its history
