The House of Royals, hotel in Zanzibar City

The House of Royals in Zanzibar City provides accommodations with an open-air bath, a garden, and a bar. This beachfront property offers access to free Wifi and free private parking.

The Villa is a jewel. it was saved and restored from a nature that was literally claiming and swallowing it back. The White Villa stands Out from its beautiful green garden but without being intrusive with nature. The garden and the Door Collection absolutely deserve a visit. the room was really well designed and furnished. you have really the feeling to be in a small bubble suspended out of time.

Located in Stone Town, Kiponda B&B features a rooftop breakfast bar offering views of the city. The Zanzibar Ferry Terminal is 1148 feet away and the beach is a 5-minute walk from the property.

Although basic, my unit was comfortable. The complex was historic which always makes the stay unique. All the staff were top notch and so friendly. The terrace and the breakfast was great too. The locale was excellent near the Old Fort area.

Jabar Lodge, hotel in Zanzibar City

Offering a garden, Jabar Lodge features accommodations in Zanzibar City. This beachfront property offers access to a terrace, free private parking, and free Wifi.

Jabar Lodge is located outside a small town about 30 minutes drive north of Stone Town with sea view. There is a beach but not a sandy one that is good to walk on or to enter the water from. The individual cottages are made of woven palm fronds, thatched roof, front porch facing the sea, and fully functioning bathroom. There is a very nice, modern hotel a 3 minute walk on the local road where you can pay to spend the day or just go to eat in their restaurant overlooking the water. The breakfast was always excellent starting with a fresh fruit plate, coffee or tea, eggs and toast. The owner Jamal is very nice and we were able to pay him to take us into town for a day and to a spice farm. I didn't think the spice farm was worth the money of the visit but it was very close by and run by the local community.

    Brilliant location in the heart of Stonetown. Close proximity to all the key locations. The staff were really lovely and made me feel welcome. The breakfasts were good and kept me going until dinner time. I loved the quaint feeling of the place, shabby chic is how I describe it. The authenticity and Zanzabarian decor was amazing. A delightful boutique hotel.

    I got sick when I arrived and they were super helpful. Farees and the lady working there made sure I was comfortable. They got me water, medicine and food. Very kind of them. I had a private room with a good bed, simple but practical bathroom with hot water and a good airconditioner. It’s a simple place but with a great location, for this price it’s really good! I can definitely recommend staying here.

Pretty quiet at night even though it's in the center. Breakfast is basic, but it's like that almost all over Zanzibar. I liked it though :) Staff is very friendly and happy to help with everything.
