"The property was in a good location to get to Stone Town and the ferry. Booking thru Expedia led to some confusion at checkout as their Expedia payment system was initially declined so we had to go on Expedia chat followed by a phone call to the facility to straighten everything out. Expedia could make that process much less confusing. The included breakfast was a nice treat and while I mostly take the stairs, the elevator was not working for half our stay. Overall though the stay was lovely...

Top Shakti Temple Hotel Reviews

Dhow Palace Hotel

8/10 Good

"The hotel is well located for a night or 2 in Stone Town. Once you are there you can walk around to see everything you need. The hotel is a nice property, the pool area and restaurant are well maintained and beautiful. The room could do with a bit of updating, we had some water coming from the window although wasn’t raining. Good place to stay, nice staff, good breakfast"

The Seyyida Hotel And Spa

8/10 Good

"The room was clean, and housekeeping came by every day to clean and replace the towels. For the first two mornings, there was no hot water early in the morning. After I reported it, they sent a housekeeping staff member to verify the issue before alerting maintenance. By the following morning, it had been fixed, and I finally got to enjoy a blissfully hot shower. My room was next to one of Stone Town’s many alleyways, so there was almost always activity and noise late into the night. As a light sleeper, I found this quite challenging. The rooftop restaurant has some of the best views in Stone Town. Just be prepared to share the space with lots of birds—they can be quite persistent while you’re trying to eat! Overall, I think Seyyida is a decent place to stay in Stone Town. That said, there are other hotels that don’t have these issues. The second hotel I stayed at (not Seyyida) was almost perfect, so you definitely have options. Even so, Seyyida isn’t a bad choice at all."

Zanzibar Coffee House

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful property with excellent food and coffee. The staff was very kind and helpful. The rooftop breakfast was a nice respite from the busy town. I felt very secure staying there with security on all night. They were helpful with recommendations for sightseeing and other restaurants. I was able to leave my bags locked up for a late checkout. Transfers to and from the airport were quick and seemless. Very nice place to start your stay on Zanzibar."

Tembo Palace Hotel

8/10 Good

"The place is nice. However, the advertisement about tempo palace was deceiving. We thought the tempo palace was on the beach as per pictures that we saw. However, even though you have access to the beach and pools at tempo hotel, tempo palace is in a different side with old building views. We were not allowed to check in early. There were fixing the bathroom by the pool. There were dust all over the place and hanging the whole afternoon We tried to take a nap after a long flight but we couldn't bc of the noise. When we told them about the situation, they offered to give us a room on a different level on the same tempo palace which didn't make sense. We stayed where we were. The magnets tried to accomodate but they couldn't. It was disappointing. They tried to provide us a late checkout and a place to shower. We checked out early so we we had other plans. When we ask to shower, they told us a couple was using the room that we need to wait 10 min. That 10 min ended up being over one hour. It was disappointing. I had to call the manger for us to get a room to shower. I wish they make it easy for us. It was disappointing. Besides that the food was good."
