This place is a gem, great coffee, unique place within maze of city

This place was fantastic! The staff was so friendly, caring, and accomodating. Both my daughters stayed there and were delighted that they received a free welcome drink from the cafe, which had excellent coffee and baked goods. They loved how the towels were made into animals and placed on their beds, along with welcoming words spelled out in coffee beans on the beds. The room was very clean and the beds were comfortable. The room and the hotel are beautifully decorated. We all loved the rooftop terrace and the wonderful, friendly women that served us. It was also an excellent value. My daughters felt very safe staying there. They would stay there again and recommend to others!

Beautiful old building with a fabulous rooftop terrace. Breakfast on the terrace was wonderful. The staff are very friendly and helpful. We stayed in one of the suites which was lovely.

I had a great stay at Zanzibar Coffee House! The staff are so lovely. Breakfast was delicious, & it is served in a beautiful setting on the rooftop overlooking Stonetown. I loved the aesthetic of my room, & everything was super clean!

Stone Town is an amazing place. The hotel is well located and the decor is simple but classy. The roof terrace was great and breakfast was adequate. I took a room with a bathroom down the hall and it felt as if I was in a house. The staff was friendly and helpful.

if you’re in Stone Town, this is definitely a great place to stay. Beach is nearby. Manager is amazing, he provided someone with an umbrella, let me borrow a charger adapter, gave me a map of the town, helped me get to the beach, offered complimentary drink & I was able to check in early. I loved it here so much. The rooftop was amazing, the food was excellent & the staff was friends. I felt safe here & very welcomed. Thank you for hosting me!

A beautiful hotel, with lovely friendly happy staff, who always gave a huge morning welcome at breakfast time. Delicious healthy breakfast and the best coffee, I've tasted in a long time, I had to go back for another. I felt very safe and it's in a great location to get to/from the ferry and to walk around to the shops and restaurants.

Just perfect.

This was a fun stay in a great building

Unique old building within old stone town

If you're the type of traveler who eats at McDonald's in other country's, then this property is probably not for you, but if you want to immerse in the local culture, its fantastic. Make sure you specify a bathroom in your room, unless you're ok with sharing, and make sure you arrange for a pickup at the airport for transportation to the hotel. The street is about 5 feet wide, and the van has to park a few blocks away. The area adjacent to the hotel is a lot like Marrakech, Morrocco with narrow streets and shops. The people are very friendly, and its safe, even though its very exotic. My Google maps worked well thank God to find our way around. The staff are very warm and friendly. We highly recommend this hotel. Andy H.

Excellent property and superb service. Incredible coffees and pastries and a rooftop view that will left me feeling like I was on top of the world or at least this ancient city. I loved staying here. Just the hotel itself is an awesome discovery full of history and beautiful design/ architecture.

I had a 3 night stay here recently, Sept 1-4, 2024. Staff is friendly and helpful. Liked the location and my room was perfect...Arabica Suite!

Loved the very friendly people and the delicious coffee! Asante sana 😊

Fantastic boutique hotel in the middle of stone town. Staff were all fantastic and the room was exactly as in the photos. Loved the little historical items especially the coffee themed ones. Highly recommended

The bathroom and the bedroom is far apart, so it was inconvenient every time I used it, Also the water in the shower room and sink was running low, making it very inconvenient to use too

Lovely old building with a beautiful roof top terrace

It’s a great stay here. Plenty of character , rooms are nice! The coffee itself is quite strong but the breakfast is amazing and staff are lovely. Good location for walking distance within the rest of stone town too.

Arrived late, thankfully a driver of a friend called in to advise my flight had been canx so would not be arriving until 11pm. Trouble getting through to their phone or by email and facebook. Staff were welcoming though and showed me to my room. I did choose the cheaper room so bathroom was seperate. Not really an issue for me, but if it is for you make sure you book with ensuite. The hotel is old, but lovely, very traditional, basic but has an amazing rooftop terrace where you have breakfast and can also go up there for drinks or meals. They have a cafe with wondering baked goods, very popular and well known with other people. Location within the centre, alley ways no cars. It is like a labyrinth, my suggestion is to get a guide. A wonderful stay, staff lovely and people around very friendly.

Lovely staff, amazing rooftop, nice large and well kept rooms, top hotel.
