Top Africa Hotel Reviews

Maru Maru Hotel

Maru Maru Hotel

8/10 Good
"Hotel located in the middle of Stone Town, beautifully maintained. Great breakfast and cocktail menu. Pool located at the rooftop is too small and does not feel private. It is located at the same level as the restaurant, which is open to the public. Staff was not very helpful for a solo black traveler. Like in many tourist-packed destination on the continent, staff tend to gravitate towards white or white-adjacent clients. Hotel manager (of Indian descent) was also very unwelcoming. He also seemed to gravitate towards a certain type of clientele and seemed to engrave this attitude into the staff. Mood felt very colonial."
