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.

Different styles from different times (african, muslim, maybe also european). Interesting experience is the market place and the night market for dinner under the stars. Also the hammam is worth to visit (with good gide)!

It was lovely and we got to see the history of the slave trade (albeit sadly as it was a horrendous practice). The beaches are also very beautiful (Jambiani Beach was where we mostly went.) The spice farm tour and markets were lovely as we got all kinds of fresh spices.
However, it is very tourist-centric. Payment is in dollars everywhere and people are always trying to sell you something. Feels very commercialised.
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.
Forodhani is my second home in Stone Town. Competitive rates, big spacious rooms, and a nice basic breakfast to get you going. The hotel is in the best location. Across the road from Forodhani Park which is the central attraction in Stone Town for its famous night food markets. Also close to the beach. The hotel is a walking distance from the Ferry terminal. A great swimming pool on the rooftop. The staff is always great, welcoming, and considerate.
Nice hotel right on the beach and next to the port.
Great location with everything in easy walking distance from the hotel.
Our room was spacious and clean with a huge ornate bathroom.
Beds were big and comfortable. TV, Fridge and a Kettle in the room with some tea and coffee provided.
Breakfast was ok.
The pool was nice with plenty of shaded areas and a great way to cool off after walking around the back streets of Stone Town.
Look no further in Stone Town, Spice Palace is the best, Perfect choice, everything was super fine, easily accessible from either ferry or airport. The hotel is located few meters from Forodhani Park.
Great and highly skilled staff, great breakfast at the Hotel with varieties of flesh to baked stuffs you can choose from.
I highly recommend this hotel while in Zanzibar city, THE BEST IN STONE TOWN
I was so lucky to trust my gut . I had no expectations but I was blown away by the service , design and staff at Shoki Shoki . the hotel is new furnished with Swahili design . there is free wifi and it’s 2 min walk to all places I wanted to check out in Stone town . the manager was amazing and also offers transport to airport at small fee.
Breakfast was very delicious at only $3
The staff is most welcoming and smiles every time you walk by. The rooms are nice with a dish of fruit. The breakfast has many choices and they aim to please. The restaurant food is wonderful! The hotel has a lot of Arabic accents and the pool and grounds are well kept. You can walk right into Stonetown. The hotel is right on the beach. I would stay here many times over.
The location is fantastic in the middle of Stonetown and right on the beach so you can watch all the local action
There are a number of lovely sitting/relaxing areas to enjoy
Great pools
Hotel has plenty of character- beautifully done!
With a late flight going home, the hotel stored our luggage and offered us somewhere to shower and change before we left.
Beautiful hotel in Stone Town, perfectly located to visit the city center walking and to take a boat to Prison Island. The room was comfortable and clean with hot shower. Breakfast is also very nice and served on a beautiful terrace. The owner and the staff were so nice and friendly, really supportive. We would definitely come back!
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
Everything!! It has an excellent location, close to every activity and place in Stone Town. The staff are quite nice and ready to attend to your needs. In one of our outings, it rained terribly, we had to run from the ferry to the hotel. Thank goodness the hotel was just close by. Great experience:)
Excellent location. While we only got to stay one night in Stone Town, this hotel was perfectly and conveniently located to be able to explore the area.
View from the presidential sweet to the beach was stunning.
Special shout out to Hajj for being so incredibly helpful.
Stay away from the hotel. The bad far outweighs the good. It may have been nice in its glory days.
Breakfast was acceptable. Although the coffee is the worst in Zanzibar. The view from the rooftop is nice. Location in stone town is very central.
Beautiful setting right on the beach, within walking distance of all stone town has to offer.. great buffet breakfast, friendly staff; beautiful pool in the main facility. The apartments are a block or so away from the main hotel.
This hotel is nicely located in Stone Town and faces the beach. Internet worked quite fast. The breakfast was varied enough and very tasty. The hotel is clean and comfortable. The price-to-quality ratio seemed good to me.
The hotel was vintage and very beautiful. I liked that it was close by everything in Stone Town. The breakfast was delicious and the owner of the property and the staff are very welcoming and helpful.
It is very well located in stone town. Some of the staff are very helpful and kind. The rooms are standard hotel rooms with good beds. The food is good and there are a lot of options for breakfast.
