Hotels in Zanzibar Town

"Great staff, food and amenities inside and outside of the hotel."

"Nice peaceful quiet property. The staff were always cheerful and are happy to answer any questions. The property itself has a rustic charm and the grounds are vast. "

"After climbing Kilimanjaro, we spent several nights on a round trip in Zanzibar in a group of five. On arrival, we were able to leave the rest of our luggage at the hotel so that we didn't have to lug it around all day. We spent the last two days at the Maru Maru Hotel, which was a very good decision. The hotel is located in the middle of the alleyways of Stonetown, is easily accessible and the perfect starting point for sightseeing tours. We were warmly welcomed and were able to use the...

"Amazing staff, Very helpful"

"The Hotel is on the doorstep of the airport so is great if you have an early flight. Check-in was friendly but lengthy for an airport hotel. The guys slouching over the Xray at entrance need to be help with bags - their attitude was lazy and unwelcoming and let the entire team down. Rooms were good and clean. Avoid Room 104 (I changed) as its above the extractor vent and had a continuous droning sound that may disturb you too. Not a problem to change rooms."

"Great staff, top breakfast, excellent location! Our room had a magnificent seaview. The overall feeling in the hotel was amazing. Highly recommended. "

"The beginning was a little bumpy yet after I addressed my concerns, the management in all departments including frontdesk and F&B went out of there way to make this visit for my mother and me even more memorable than expected. I have visit over 200 hotels world-wide in the last three years, and witnessed a combined effort to make things more than right for us. Since I was working as an F&B Manager on a few cruise ships with years of training in Europe and experience in 5 Star leading Hotel...

"The staff at Best Point Hotel are incredibly kind and helpful, also Fatima and Edith are the best Receptionist desk in the world, Asante sana"

"Very nice staff! "

"I have stayed at dozens of hotels throughout Africa, and this is my new favorite! We loved every part of it…the bed, bath, beauty, ambiance, food, wine, staff, and owner! The room had all the amenities we needed, the bed was exceptionally comfortable, the location in the heart of stone town is superb, and the breakfast delicious! We have already booked our next stay. "

"Beautiful property and fun water park. Spacious rooms, nicely decorated and very clean. Friendly, professional staff with smiling faces. I caught a beautiful sunset at the pier!"

"Beautiful boutique hotel in Stone Town! Very friendly and attentive staff, lovely breakfasts, charming and quiet garden and outdoor dining area, spacious rooms. A fantastic experience overall and would def recommend!"

"Hotel has buildings spread around the neighbourhood our room was150m from the main hotel and breakfast area. The positive was it was more quite to the road and call to prey noice! Breakfast was good. Although a larger hotel it doesn’t sell alcohol so you tend not to use the facilities of an evening. "

"Decent hotel. Staff are very nice & very polite, Simon on reception is very helpful. Breakfast was amazing , can't talk about dinner. The ocean view remains amazing. Waking up to the sound of ocean If you are looking for a quite place but not so far from all the buzz of Stonetown. This is the hotel for you in Zanzibar"

"I was completely blown away by this charming, one-of-a-kind hotel in Stone Town that far exceeded its 2-star rating in every possible way. What was meant to be a simple stay turned into one of the most memorable experiences of our trip. The hotel is not just a place to sleep—it’s a piece of history. Converted from a monument once owned by the British, tied to the abolition of slavery, it now stands as a semi-attached three-building hotel filled with character and soul. The architecture is...

"Special place. The staff outstanding. A few remarkable days at this wonderful historic 'hotel'."

"PLEASE BE AWARE. This place overbooks clients so when you arrive they say there is NO reservation under your name. Then they send you to another location of much lower quality. People at the new location confirmed that they do this all the time. It is not a mistake but rather a scam. I left that second location and was lucky to find a nice hotel nearby for the same price. I did get a refund but most people will probably stay where they are forced to stay due to lack of options and uncertainty. I...

"This property was ok I did not appreciate the arrival process how I like the spacious room and cleaning. I did not appreciate on an occasion the kitchen messing up the food. Also the area is not a safe area to walk around in "

"The property is poorly managed. Some staff members do not speak English. The sink for hand wash was not working. There was no breakfast service"
