Upendo House Hotel Zanzibar

We had a great stay. The room was good and the food is marvellous. Friendly people. We stayed there for two nights and that was enough because the town is very noisy. The hotel has a rooftop pool with a bar where it is very nice to stay. For us was the only problem the stairs.

Nestled in the heart of Stone Town, Upendo House offers a modern and unique boutique experience in Zanzibar. With 11 individually designed rooms, each named after the theme of its décor, this charming hotel ensures comfort and style. The superior rooms, some with private balconies, come equipped with air conditioning and Wi-Fi, while select rooms feature bathtubs for an added touch of luxury. Regular maintenance is conducted twice a year to guarantee a pristine experience for guests. The hotel’s rooftop terrace is a standout feature, offering stunning panoramic views of Stone Town and the Indian Ocean. The infinity pool, with its partially transparent floor overlooking the restaurant below, creates a striking and stylish element to the space. Sun loungers positioned to face the sea make for the perfect spot to enjoy an unforgettable sunset. While the terrace is open to the public, Upendo House maintains an exclusive and intimate atmosphere by carefully managing access for guests only. For ultimate relaxation, the spa offers a serene haven to unwind after a day of exploration. With a minimum stay of two nights, this exceptional hotel offers flexible options during the low season, ensuring guests enjoy their stay to the fullest. With its prime location, distinctive rooms, and outstanding amenities, Upendo House is an unmissable destination for travelers seeking both authenticity and luxury in Zanzibar.

Charm and comfort in the heart of Stone Townn What a wonderful stay - the room was comfortable and chic with strong AC, a comfort bed, and a nice bathroom. The rooftop bar and pool were lovely with amazing views of the ocean. Benjamin and the other staff were extremely helpful and friendly. The location was great - right in the heart of Stone Town. I highly recommend it!

Perfect hotel for a short stay in Stone Town Stayed for 2 nights and the hotel was perfect. Very close to all the main things to see and to the coastline. Amazing rooftop pool and bar area. Food was delicious!

Thank you Upendo Staff The view from the rooftop pool and the location of the hotel is amazing. Every single staff person I came in contact with at Upendo provided exceptional customer service. By the end of my one week stay, the staff felt like family. I was so sad to leave. I was so well taken care of. Kassim crafted the most delicious and beautiful cocktails. Lydia and Abella provided warm service with a smile during meals in The 5th Restaurant. Benjamin arranged all my excursions, taxi and overall concierge services. Rita and Krishna greeted us daily and made sure everything was going well. It was also great being able to spend time at the Upendo Beach house location. We met other travelers during cocktail hour on the rooftop. Zanzibar is a beautiful place but the staff here made my trip!
