Different styles from different times (african, muslim, maybe also european). Interesting experience is the market place and the night market for dinner under the stars. Also the hammam is worth to visit (with good gide)!

It was lovely and we got to see the history of the slave trade (albeit sadly as it was a horrendous practice). The beaches are also very beautiful (Jambiani Beach was where we mostly went.) The spice farm tour and markets were lovely as we got all kinds of fresh spices.
However, it is very tourist-centric. Payment is in dollars everywhere and people are always trying to sell you something. Feels very commercialised.

Dirty, smelly, full of approaching ~beach boys, sellers and beggars. Much more aggressive than up north. Mostly came for a Nakupenda tour. Nice place but be aware that it’s crowded - by lots of tourists and then of course even the aggressive up in your face wanting to touch you sellers there too.
The more upscaled beach hotels and restaurants are nice though.

Stonetown is a cute, small city with arab influence.
Stonetown is a cute, small city with arab influence. It is worth taking the boat to prison island to learn more about the history and see the turtles. 2 days is sufficient. In the evening there is a night market with different food stalls.

Lots of shops in Stonetown selling the same.
Lots of shops in Stonetown selling the same. Plenty of souvenirs to buy. Check Darajani market for good bargains. Don't forget the spice market.
Avoid shopping in Darajani street. Not for tourists.
Relaxed lunches at the high terraces of the Swahili house and Emerson house.
Supper at Lukmaan (reasonable and cheap), Masa Japanese Restaurant (good and reasonably priced), and Krishna Food House (good and reasonably priced).

I’m from Greece so the beaches in Greece are similar and even better than the ones in Zanzibar so I was not overly impressed by them like most tourists.
What I didn’t like was all the people coming up to you all the time trying to sell you stuff. You tell them to go away and they insist. It’s rude and annoying.
Also Stone Town is dirty, there’s rubbish everywhere. We went outside for a walk and there were a lot of people around and they smelled bad. It’s like they don’t shower.
Too expensive for what it is, nothing is open after 10pm and hospitality (waiters and bartenders) are terrible as if they have no experience. You wait forever, and they don’t attend to you often enough.
We stayed at the hotel after our flight from France as we felt it was useless to drive one hour to our holiday destination late in the evening. The hotel is located two minutes drive away from the airport. Staff was very welcoming and pleasant, room comfortable with a very nice bed, great bathroom with italien walk in shower, nice terrasse and pool area. A great hotel for a night after or before your flight or if you want a modern hotel in Zanzibar city with easy access to Stone town. Very good value for money.
This place is close to everything in Stone Town, I would recommend this place to everyone traveling to Stone Town. The hotel is at the beach as well. The rooms are nice, clean and spacious. Also the people working there are really nice, they helped us so much when a taxi driver tried to scam us and talked to the police for us. (Special thanks to Said). We felt really safe at Tembo. Me and my friend stayed in the apartments, a 2 minutes walked from the hotel, but you can still use the hotel facilities.
The hotel is in a good location for Stone Town. It’s close to the beach and many restaurants, as well as the little shops. It’s one of the more modern and clean hotels in the area. The room was spacious and had AC. The breakfast was pretty good and there was quite a lot to choose from - the avocado on toast was delicious! The staff are friendly and helpful and can give advice on how/where to get your PCR test for your home flight. The roof top bar and pool have good views of the surrounding area.
The Hotel is well located in the heart of Stone Town. Our room was nice and spacious, so was the bathroom. Everything clean. There is a nice little pool, perfect for a quick refresh after exploring the city. The roof terrace is very nice, food was really good, although we didn‘t have breakfast as our flight was too early in the morning. Staff was nice and friendly, can totally recomend this place for a stay in Stone town.
I was so lucky to trust my gut . I had no expectations but I was blown away by the service , design and staff at Shoki Shoki . the hotel is new furnished with Swahili design . there is free wifi and it’s 2 min walk to all places I wanted to check out in Stone town . the manager was amazing and also offers transport to airport at small fee.
Breakfast was very delicious at only $3
So spacious, clean, and easy access from the airport and to all the main sightseeing places in the stone town.
Not about the property, but the hospitality of this hotel was amazing. The receptionist Shafee always cared for myself for transportation, tour, tips for sightseeing. He made my staying in stone town so comfortable.
I recommend everyone to stay here.
Beautiful and original, colonial style hotel located perfectly on the beach road. Very friendly and accommodating staff. The price was reasonable and well worth
As we were leaning for the airport late in the evening we were very pleased we were allowed to stay at the pool and use all hotel facilities even if we had checked out. Will be back.
Beautiful hotel in Stone Town, perfectly located to visit the city center walking and to take a boat to Prison Island. The room was comfortable and clean with hot shower. Breakfast is also very nice and served on a beautiful terrace. The owner and the staff were so nice and friendly, really supportive. We would definitely come back!
The location of the hotel is excellent in stone town. The staff is very friendly and we met the manager Danielle who was very welcoming and nice. The room and the decorations are exquisite, unique, clean and comfortable. The food as well is delicious. The view from the rooftop is amazing as well on the harbour.
