A very simple hotel, breakfast is a joke. Toast and jam. Maybe OK for one night in transit.

Located on a quiet street in Stone Town close to the Old Fort and Forodhani Gardens, Kiponda is a quiet and comfortable place to stay. The staff are very friendly and helpful and the rooftop breakfast area is a cool and pleasant place to sit and enjoy a cup of tea

Perfect place to explore Stone Town!
We had a lovely time at Kiponda, the location is amazing for exploring Stone Town and the staff were so welcoming and helpful. We loved the rooftop view from the restaurant. Breakfast was fine but with limited options. Lovely place, thank you!

A nice bed and breakfast hotel with a great location in Stone Town. A simpler standard is offset by a lower price. Very helpful and skilled staff who help with most things and helpfully answer all questions. A good breakfast was served on the roof with coffee, omelette and good fresh fruit. Highly recommended.

We loved our stay at Kiponda. The place has so much old world charm. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable. Breakfast on the rooftop was just lovely. Location is a short walk from the ferry and a great spot from which to explore all the key sites in Stone Town.

I stayed at the Kiponda in June 2022 and felt extremely welcome and at home :) The location is excellent with just a minute or so walk to the waterfront and 5 or so minutes to the old fort and Forodhani park where the lively nightmarket takes place. It is also just 5 minutes walk to the ferry terminal if required. My room was clean and cosy and the openair rooftop common area was a wonderful place for the yummy breakfast and to relax in the evening. The staff were super friendly and the manager Salma, went above and beyond helping me organise day trips and transport. She has many years experience in the tourist industry in Zanzibar and was one of the first female tour guides there. Apart from having someone pick me up at the airport when i arrived, she even organised for someone to pick me up from the ferry terminal in Dar Es Salaam and take me to the train station where they also helped me buy a ticket for my onward journey. I can't recommend the Kiponda highly enough! Asante sana Salma and all at the Kiponda! :)

Great hotel, super good breakfast (the best in 5 weeks in Tanzania) on the roof terrace, great location right in the old town. The owners are very friendly and helpful. Great value for money.
