Audrey the manager was amazing, friendly and super helpful. The food was excellent and the staff were actually concerned about all their guests.

This is a quaint and small hotel but has everything you need for a stay in Stone Town. It is clean and well maintained and the staff were friendly. The hotel is very well situated to all the attractions in the town and also very convenient for Sun Downers at Africa House. Our room had AC, a TV and a... More

The location of this quiet little B&B is possibly its most attractive feature. It is located right in the middle of the commercial/touristy area of Stone Town, which puts most of the town's tourist attractions, souvenir shops and restaurants/bars within walk-able distance. It is located right next to the Shangani Post Office - which makes it very convenient if you... More

It was a very pleasant stay in this lovely B&B. Clean, cool and spacious rooms. Staff was most helpful. Breakfast was original: no 'boiled or fried' eggs in the morning. I would definately stay there again!

Bouquets: Location is good in the middle of the winding streets of Stone Town & the building itself has a certain charm; the manager is helpful and the local staff very friendly; the cafe downstairs is a bonus with some nice food & a place to just chill; taxis are available right outside at reasonable prices. Brick bats: I feel... More

My partner and I stayed three nights at the Stone Town Cafe after our safari. The rooms were clean and comfortable (and the soap is really nice!!). The breakfast was very tasty.... Some of the best food we had in Zanzibar. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I would definitely stay here again.

This proved to be an excellent choice as a Hotel to explore the various aspects offered by StoneTown, being situated very much in the centre of Town, Kenyatta Road. The room was a good size, with en suite, and cleaned every day. Breakfast was the best on the Island - the freshest fruit ! But most of all, the service... More

Stone Town accommodation is not cheap and it doesn't seem you get much for your money, but the B&B perfectly hit that mid range accommodation bracket. The place is sparsely furnished, but doesn't seem bare. It's kept very clean and has all the basic amenities that you need. The location is ideal for walking stone town and making your way... More

Stayed 3 nights. Great place,great value. Would love to go back.Could spend lots of time in Stonetown as there are many attractions. Night market is not the greatest place for food and you get hassled a lot.
