    Exceptionally good views, we did not want to leave there.

    The room was spacious, immaculate and the bed was exceptionally comfortable. The location was marvellous and unbeatable, very close to a ferry port. Had a truly memorable stay of Zanzibar town and would want to stay there again.

    Stayed here for 3 days, thoroughly enjoyed the hotel, it was fairly clean with great location by the ferry. Location: the property was so close to historical Stone Town, the beach and the promenade, and especially the night market. There was a gourmet restaurant nearby. The staff was charming and lovely, nothing too much trouble. The breakfast was satisfactory and the food was appetising.

    I had a fantastic stay at this hotel in Stone Town. The location was perfect, tucked away in the narrow streets but still close to the seafront. The rooms were beautifully decorated with intriguing furniture, and mine even had a balcony with a great view of Stonetown. I loved the attention to detail, like the shower facing the bed. The breakfast was delicious, with excellent coffee available at any time.

    All was perfect during my stay at this hotel.

    Great heritage property with authentic rooms and traditional furniture. Rooms are spacious, cool and have all the amenities you need. Loved the balconies offering stunning views of the city. Convenient location, walking distance from landmarks and shopping areas.

    The prices at the on-site restaurant were high compared to the portions and quality of food. Service was extremely slow and inconsistent.

    During our stay at Zanzibar Palace, we were captivated by the charm and authenticity of the old world architecture and interior decor. The grand suite we stayed in, Kijani, transported us back to the 1900s with its traditional furnishings and ceramics. The staff, especially Iddi and Jamila, were incredibly friendly and helpful. They took us on a walk around the area, recommending coffee bars and gourmet restaurants. The hotel owner, Daniela, even organized tickets for us to experience local musicians at the nearby music hall. The location of the hotel was perfect for exploring Stone Town, with attractions such as Darajani Market, Forodhani night market, and the Palace Museum all within walking distance. The personal assistance provided by Daniela, including accompanying us to a government department, was truly exceptional. I highly recommend this hotel for a unique experience of Zanzibar town.

    Wonderful staff and delicious food! We arrived drenched after a rainstorm and they immediately took care of us. The room was fit for a sultan with beautiful drapery. The location was perfect, close to the waterfront and market. I highly recommend this charming hotel.

    I really enjoyed my stay at this luxurious hotel in Zanzibar. The location was perfect, nestled in the heart of the Old Town area of Stone Town. The narrow streets and historical atmosphere added to the charm of this place. Not to mention, it was just a short distance from the seafront, allowing me to easily explore the beautiful coastline. The staff here provided top-notch service, from room service to housekeeping. They were always attentive and went above and beyond to ensure my comfort. The hotel also offered a range of amenities, including a spa & wellness centre, where I indulged in a relaxing massage. the service and location of this hotel were exceptional.

    I highly recommend this hotel for anyone looking for a luxurious and comfortable stay in Zanzibar.

The staff was incredibly warm and friendly, making me feel right at home. They were always willing to go the extra mile to ensure my comfort. The breakfast was a treat, with delicious made-to-order options and excellent coffee available at any time. this hotel offered great value for the money.
