La dame responsable est super gentille et souriante, elle cueille sur notre confort. Les petits-déjeuners étaient copieux et variés, nous avons beaucoup aimé et avions hâte au lendemain! Joli chambre avec grande salle de bain. Notre bémol était de ne pas avoir d’accès extérieur et que les draps et matelas soient très chauds pour la température de février, ce qui a rendu les nuits moins confortables. Je crois que ce serait simple pour eux de varier les draps en fonction de la saison.

The staff at Shaba accommodated our family when there was a mix up at another hotel we had booked. We were welcomed with a cool space to sit and welcomed cool drinks. The staff were so friendly and accommodating, the hotel was quaint and beautifully decorated. Our rooms were large with balcony looking over the rooftops of stone town. Walking distance to ferry and night market. Beds were very comfortable, air conditioned rooms with large ensuite bathroom. Breakfast was great. Great value for money, would highly recommend.

Clean hotel in the middle of the Stone Town
It is a colorful and safe place with smiling staff. The breakfast is generous. It is very nice that they have drinking water, also hot water and tea bags available throughout the day. AC works in the room, which is very helpful in the African heat. The only thing that Tanzanians cannot get right is plumbing. The shower in some rooms sprinkles water in all directions and leaks from the pipe junction. Otherwise, it is a good place to stay.
