8.3 (55 reviews)

The Seyyida Hotel and Spa ★★★★

📍 R5QR+XFV, Nyumba Ya Moto St, Stone Town

"Advantages: Hotel located at the port which allows you to explore the entire old town on foot. The room is nice and spacious and the bathroom was generally clean. The staff is very pleasant. Breakfast is pretty good (especially the egg menu items) and the one dinner we had there was excellent. The view from the rooftop is magnificent. Disadvantages: The neighborhood is very noisy and the room (303) was under the rooftop restaurant so there was a lot of noise until at least 11pm and from 6am in the morning. Even though the bathroom was clean we found 2 cockroaches."

Dhow Palace Hotel
8.5 (79 reviews)

Dhow Palace Hotel ★★★★

📍 Baghani St, Stone Town

"The location is good. The presidential suite is very beautiful. BUT: 1. Upon check-in, they tried to upgrade us to a regular suite (it's right next to the presidential suite) instead of the one we reserved. They probably hoped we wouldn't notice. 2. We paid the city tax upon check-in. Then, upon check-out, they started asking us to pay it again. They need to get their payment records in order. 3. The breakfast was average, nothing special."

Princess Salme Inn ★★★

📍 Dega, Stone Town

"After our pleasant experience back in 2012, we decided to come back in March 2016. We once again were greeted by courtesy, cleanliness and the crew's welcoming attitude, especially Neema and Juma (who are in charge of the magnificent breakfast served every morning) as well as Gertrude who helped us with internet and our room's safety box. Thanks to everybody for helping me to practice with my beginner level spoken Swahili! I highly recommend this structure to everyone. It's quiet, close to both the town center and the ferry Harbor, very clean, breakfast is rich and the staff superb. Nawashukuru wote! Asante sana!"

Mizingani Seafront Hotel ★★★★
"The hotel is built on an old house. To be fair, it is very unique. Some corners of the hotel are very photogenic during the day, but the shortcomings are also obvious. First of all, the lighting in the house is insufficient, especially at night, the overall feeling is very old under the dim light, and it does not look clean and hygienic enough. However, considering the price, it is still relatively cost-effective."

Dhow Palace Hotel ★★★★
"Good location close to everything you need and want to visit in Stone Town. We also organised a boat trip to Prison island which was well organised. Breakfast is ok and the pool is clean and not too small, if you don´t mind swimming in the middle of everything and just beside the restaurant. However, I cannot recommend the restaurant for dinner as we waited a long time and there are much better restaurants close by. Our room was in another building very close to the hotel, clean enough but needs some updates. There is supposed to some some kind of kitchen, but that is not the case - no cutlery and the water heater did not work. Daily cleaning is provided and the also do anti-mosquito spraying every evening."
