Zanzibar Palace

Clean, unique, great eating and comfortable. large massage (zanzibar special.) would recommend everyone to go to stone town.

Zanzibar Palace Hotel is a fantastic boutique Heritage Hotel in the middle of Stone Town. I chose it because of its heritage and boutique features and was very happy on both counts. We spent a lot of our time just walking around this area, exploring, getting lost and finding ourselves again. The room was fantastic very comfortable bedding, excellent air conditioning (very welcome in the humidity and 38C temperature) and a huge bathroom (we took the family room) For a heritage property, I was amazed at the great condition that the hotel was in and how effective the air conditioning was (having lived in the UK and experienced many heritage houses in Europe, I know how hard it is to strike this balance) The rooms were spotlessly clean and the staff are amazing! Winnie, Idi and all the others. Always smiling and super happy to help. Daniela the owner manager was very resourceful, helping us book our covid tests at the best possible location, advice on which ATMs to use, allowing us a slightly later checkout because we had to postpone the early morning dolphin trip to the day of our departure, since we had to do our covid tests the previous day etc. Beach towels were provided to us in a basket on the days that we requested them for visits to Kizimkazi to see the dolphins and Pingwe beach. The food is excellent great omelettes, fresh bread and fresh fruit juice at breakfast were stand outs. We had one meal at the hotel and the chicken curry and chicken spring roll were phenomenal. Points to be Aware of before booking: It is a heritage property and the rooms begin on the first floor with the reception and dining area on the ground floor. The steps are quite steep so anyone with mobility issues or knee and back problems need to be aware of this. Service for meals is slow because it is only for in house guests I would highly recommend that you pre book your meal ahead of time, so the kitchen can be prepared.

We could write a long review describing the wonderful stay we had, but the simplest way to do it s just saying: the best hotel in the Island. Location, room (our suite was incredible! , services, food, staff and Daniela the manager: a combination of a unique high quality experience.

Had a wonderful stay here. Staff was responsive to my emails, room was clean and beautiful. Walkable to all the major destinations in Stonetown and a 5 min walk from the Ferry. Food was good and staff wore masks in line with COVID-19 protocol. They can arrange tours at the hotel. Building has a beautiful rustic charm.

We got a very nice room with a big bathroom and a big bathtub. Very good breakfast and a small bar to chill out in after the day is over. Staff is very friendly and nice and very helpful.
