- Stonetown buildings are a vintage but lacks maintenance, it makes the area look a bit untidy. Also the rusted roofing or corrugated sheets makes the aaerial view not beautiful. Painting them and the buildings will bring an added beauty to the image of stonetown.

Friendly people with a lot of places to visit.
However there is a lack of food prices diversity. Most good food is somehow expensive and the cheapest food was bad.
However my favourite place to eat during evening was at the small restaurant near the Mkunazini Anglican Cathedral where delicious rice dishes are served.
Couples can enjoy the tours to Prison Island and around Stone town

I sailed as a sea captain all around the island, including Pemba island. I spent here almost 2 months altogether. From tourist places, I liked Nungwi beaches. You have to know, most of tourist resorts are situated outside of local civilization. If you want to go shopping or to the local restaurant, you need to order a taxi everytime and the prices are high. The food and alcohol is quite expensive even for europeans. The locals are kind, although sometimes annoying if they are selling something. I felt absolutely safe, more than in EU. Traffic in the inlands is terrible, try to avoid travelling on these roads. Negotiate the price (taxi etc) before drive. They are able to ask 50 USD for 3 kilometres of ride after. If I could decide, I would try another exotic islands. Zanzibar needs 5-10 years to improve the services for tourist, infrastructure etc.

Navigating Zanzibar City was surprisingly easy, with an array of transportation options available. The compact size of the city made it convenient to explore on foot, with many attractions within walking distance of each other. I would definitely suggest trying the local Swahili food for fresh fish and seafood.
For a visitor from South Africa, I found the price of food and drinks at restaurants relatively expensive.

Paradise Found: Zanzibar's Enchanting Beauty
Paradise Found: Zanzibar's Enchanting Beauty
Zanzibar is simply one of the best places on Earth. Its beaches are nothing short of breathtaking, with pristine sands so fine they feel like silk beneath your toes. The tranquil waters, gentle and calm, create a mesmerizing backdrop that captivates the soul. My love for this place knows no bounds; it's a sanctuary of unparalleled beauty and serenity.
We stayed at the hotel after our flight from France as we felt it was useless to drive one hour to our holiday destination late in the evening. The hotel is located two minutes drive away from the airport. Staff was very welcoming and pleasant, room comfortable with a very nice bed, great bathroom with italien walk in shower, nice terrasse and pool area. A great hotel for a night after or before your flight or if you want a modern hotel in Zanzibar city with easy access to Stone town. Very good value for money.
Staff was kind and helpful. Especially bar tenders were flexible for special requests and they tried to do their best. Our package was all inclusive. Selection of drinks were quite enough for this package.
Hotel's location is little far from airport but it is exactly somewhere middle of the jungle. I can say I generally liked the atmosphere right over there and Swimming pool options were fine.
Room was okay. Especially I liked the balcony with garden view. Breakfast and Lunch menus were satisfying.
Unbelievable place, even nicer than the photos, the best little refuge to stay at in Stone town!! You're 10minutes from the city center but feel like you are in this calm oasis with a beautiful garden and all the comfort and welcoking staff. Couldn't recommend it enough, and the crazier part is the price!! Worth 10 times what you pay, definitely the best value for money I've ever seen! Make sure you stay more than one night to enjoy fully, I wish I'd stayed in that garden forever
Large hotel on the beach in Stone Town. You can walk EVERYWHERE! This is a large hotel with many different buildings. The hotel works like a well oiled machine. Staff is friendly and efficient. The GM is always available and goes out of his way to assist. Rooms are large with aircon, fans, fridge, satellite TV, coffee station, hairdryer. Large bathroom.
The swimming pool is the best and cool!! Breakfast is interesting. Pls note this is a dry hotel.
The staff is amazing. Food at the restaurant is good. Rooftop is nice. Location is right in the middle of Stone Town. This hotel allows you to be a part of the city without being contaminated by tourism. I recommend the hotel if you want to breath the local culture and encounter locals.
2/3 nights is enough.
Not recommended if you are looking for a European fancy beach with 5 stars service and no contact with local culture.
We were looking for a place in Stone Town fairly last-minute, and the Asmini Palace worked out perfectly. The hotel is very nice, and the staff friendly and helpful. Breakfast on the rooftop was quite enjoyable, with fresh fruit and good variety and portions. There are plenty of restaurants around, and finding good food outside the hotel was not too hard. This was a very good place for our first view of Stone Town.
Breakfast was fine; a buffet, with enough food and enough variety. The restaurant was very pleasant, semi-outdoor setting by the swimming pool, in the garden. The hotel is very attractive, and located in Stone Town which I really liked. However, this meant that the last 100 metres to the hotel were on foot, which was a bit of a surprise on arrival. Luckily it was not raining at that time.
In Stone Town it is difficult to find a quiet hotel/guesthouse at a budget-friendly price. Retro offers that! It's next to a hospital grounds, so it's quiet and surrounded by lots of greenery. It is a very charming interior (main hall, breakfast room, entrance area)! The room itself was decent, no modern amenities but functional incl. wifi.
The hotel is absolutely beautiful and one of the best in Stone Town with a perfect location and charming boutique feel. The staff is on top of everything, incredibly kind, and gave us the warmest welcome upon our arrival! The interior pool is dreamy and all the premises are very well kept. The rooms are also amazing and super spacious.
The personnel was very helpful and available.
They helped us with everything, suggesting to us restaurants, places to visit in Stone Town and storing our luggage after checkout so we could walk around the city luggage-free until the time we had to travel to Nungwi.
To sum up, everything was very very very nice at Rumaisa hotel
We had a fantastic stay, the hotel and staff were abolutey amazing, thee location town is a massive hit, you are literally in Stone Town. Great for shopping if thats your thing, we love the diving and there is a lot to see. Lovely flat in the center of town, couldnt recommend it more
Location on the beach and view was fabulous! Staff and hostess very attentive. Facilities perfect in every regard. Landscaping preserved the African experience. We wee met at the airport by the hotel van and returned as well. Exceptional value for the cost! 5 Star Plus
Hotel is fantastic and a real gem. Perfect location on the beach and right in the heart of stone town - next to the night markets for cheap street food. Staff were great, especially Ali. 3 different pools to choose from and breakfast selection was incredible.
The hotel is really nice as style! In a good position to visit stone town and to go with boat to prison island and nakupenda!
The transfer from/to airport was really good!
It is really close to a beautiful restaurant on the beach!
The location can't be beaten and its the only hotel in town right on the beach! The staff were very friendly and attentive and even the food in the hotel was amazing! Also, could legitimately sleep for a week in those beds
This hotel has a great location. It is close to the beach and all the major sights in stone town. Rooms are comfortable and clean and I looked forward to breakfast everyday. Very nice spanish omelets.
Great food, Kindly staff And everythink was clean . In the centre. Very good prices. If you want to stay a few days in Zanzibar city here is no better hotel than this. Really Recomend.
Great breakfast, very nice staff, location is okay not much to see around, but the hotel has a very nice swimming pool and amazing view on the beach/Islands...
