"This is a hotel of opposites. Great location in stone town but down a dark alley you can’t quite drive to the door. Helpful reception but we’d booked 3 rooms and they initially gave us 2. Lovely clean spacious rooms but others with no view or very noisy. Wonderful old character but random electrical sockets - could only have the (empty) fridge OR the kettle OR the light plugged in. Clean bathroom with plenty of hot water and shower gel but no soap to wash hands at the basin. Great terrace for...

Top Christ Church Cathedral Hotel Reviews

Dhow Palace Hotel

8/10 Good

"Personnel bienveillant, dommage qu’il y ait beaucoup de travaux aux alentours… Très bon emplacement"

Spice Palace Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Now there are hotels for staying only, convenient location, etc., but this one excels in the long-forgotten personal touch and the joy of hosting and servitude. I have experienced greater care, postcard messages, and cookies to wish you good night. It is also in the best location in Stone Town, where you can access all the highlights of the place within 10 to 20 minutes. Beautifully decorated and a great place to stay."

Mizingani Seafront Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The Mizangani Seafront Hotel was an amazing, atmospheric bit of old Zanzibar looking out on the Stone Town harbor, and across from the Dar es Salaam ferry landing. They served a wonderful breakfast on the veranda. The reception and breakfast staff were very helpful and gave us a warm welcome. Our room was spacious and filled with beautiful Zanzibari details."

Zanzibar Coffee House

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel was very nice. What comes to mind is quaint. The staff was airing and attentive. The location made it a little difficult to get your luggage in and out, but we managed. We would stay there again. It was close to the markets, making it a plus. The tours were outstanding. Zanzibar was a place to make memories."

Emerson Spice Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The room was beautiful and very authentic. The attached restaurant was amazing with a great rooftop view. The staff were helpful and attentive. The welcome fruit was tasty!"

Zanzibar Serena Hotel

8/10 Good

"Rooms were clean but had misty smell and little small rooms"

Elephantohotel

8/10 Good

"Not too far from Stonetown. Good for value. Construction next door made balcony view undesirable. Overall would stay again."

Tembo Palace Hotel

8/10 Good

"Hotel très bien situé, très propre, bien équipé (lclim, ventilateurs groupe électrogène pour les coupures..) avec énormément de piscine (4) en bord de mer... Le personnel est très agréable.. Seul petit bémol, le restaurant qui n'est pas au niveau de l'hôtel."

Park Hyatt Zanzibar

10/10 Excellent

"Very recommended! Amazing hotel! Great location. Extremely helpful staff!!!"
