Madinat Al Bahr Business & Spa Hotel
4.1/565 Reviews
Excellent hotel in great location We used TA to choose hotel for our stay in Zanzibar as we were unsure in what location on the island to base ourselves As it worked out we were very pleased that we chose the Medinat Al Bahrain as our base. Excellent hotel, very quiet - in fact sometimes we felt as if we had the place to ourselves. Good food, great buffet breakfast and two restaurants to choose from on site. Conveniently located not far from airport especially after long connecting flight via Dubai ($10 cab fare) and same distance into Stonetown ($10 cab fare) Small public beach attached to hotel and a nice restaurant (Wooden Table) 100yds along beach After experiencing Stonetown we were glad that we stayed slightly out as the town is very busy and some hotels we first looked at could be hard to find down inaccessible (by vehicle) alleys. We did visit on a couple of occasions to do the walking tour and restaurants (Cape Town Fish Market - see separate review) - again location of hotel made visiting easy and there were a number of restaurants/bars that we could also have visited given the time. The hotel was also a good base for visiting other parts of the island which we did through Alsa Tours Zanzibar (reviewed separately) Issa (the concierge) arranged for us to meet Abdul (the owner) from Alsa Tours at the hotel who was our guide/driver for the tours that we did - prices were good and very competitive with other tour operators and more personal as tours in most cases were private We did (all reviewed separately): The North - Turtle Sanctuary/Kendra beach West - Spice Farm/Prison Island/Walking tour of Stonetown East - Butterfly Sanctuary/Jozani Forest/The Rock Restaurant South East - Safari Blue - boat trip/snorkelling/beach bbq Would say that the hotel was a great choice hotel was maticulously clean and the staff always friendly helpful and accommodating which made for a perfect stay Would highly recommend to any travellers to Zanzibar
Tembo Palace Hotel
4.2/547 Reviews
This hotel is something really special. Little gem hidden in an old city. The location is directly on the beach; you can hear the waves flapping, when sitting at the dining area outside. Also it is central, but in a very nice and secure part of town. The swimming pool is large and has a sea view. Breakfast is delightful. Accommodations are sparkling clean and have got this old style Zanzibar charm with an accent on furniture, doors , lamps and even ceilings. Beach view is spectacular. But the best part is the people, the staff. Friendly, accommodating and understanding. There was a technical mistake with my online booking, and I thought I lost a reservation, and to my biggest surprise the manager Yakub Abdulkarim, very kind and intelligent man, realised it was a legitimate mistake through no fault of anyone. He has fixed it right on a spot, and I found myself in this most amazing room/bungalow with the sea view and an unforgettable feeling of warmth from staff’s overwhelming hospitality. T hank you Tembo team! Lovely people, awesome place to stay!!
Golden Tulip Stonetown Boutique
3.8/559 Reviews
The Golden tulip Hotel and Zanzibar in general was an amazing experience. We stayed at the Golden Tulip Hotel for a few days in our Zanzibar vacation n the staff there are warm hearted, the rooms are clean and the hotel has beautiful views from the roof top restaurant whose food is also very tasty with a wide variety to choose from. One of my greatest highlights was meeting the Hotel manager Mr. Hasham who was also very welcoming and spoke highly of Zambia and it’s people and how much he enjoyed staying and working from Zambia in the 3yrs he worked in Zambia prior to his relocation to Zanzibar citing that Zambia is indeed his second home. Stone town generally is a beautiful place, the streets are windy and refreshing, it's well known for its beautiful doors, and the houses built out of stone and sand.. The streets of stone town are full of art and beautifully crafted bags and clothes it's a UNESCO heritage with beautiful history. You can visit the forodhoni food market and see the museum.. You can visit prison Island and Nakupenda also known as vanishing Island.. If you are planning a trip to Zanzibar don't forget to visit stone town and enjoy your stay st Golden tulip hotel. Ujambo is a famous word on the streets of stone town so don't forget to say it the kids enjoy..
Mizingani Seafront Hotel
4.1/576 Reviews
Good location, right at the beach, convenient by boat. With a sense of history, the rooms are beautiful and clean. Breakfast is average. Recommended balcony with sea view. The scenery is first class and beautiful.
Spice Palace Hotel
4/521 Reviews
We only went for dinner here having heard that the roof-top restaurant has a good view. In the end the view was really the best part of the evening. The food was fairly standard fare, really nothing special - piece of chicken, not specially spiced, rice and veg - and we had to wait for it. The staff were slow and unresponsive, and when it came to pay I had to pull them away from their chatter to give me the bill and then they were unable to take hard currency and I had to pay by card. Frankly, there are plenty of better options in Stone Town.
Beyt Al Salaam
3.9/557 Reviews
BEYT AL SALAAM was superb. Aminia and team were the nicest people we have met. There kind assistance with all our plans and excursions made our holiday truly unforgettable. The room was tastefully decorated and spotlessly clean. A large comfortable bed with chrisp white linen and very comfortable pillows. It had an airconditioner, ceiling fan, tv and tea and coffee facilities. A nice indoor swimming pool TRULY A GEM. Thank you so much for making our holiday so memorable.
