贾费尔吉之家

很有特色的小旅馆，owner是位摄影师，酒店挂满了他的作品。装潢设计品味不错，露台看日出和日落很美。

We stayed in the Mercury room. The room was fine. The windows are coloured glass with no window coverings so it gets bright when the sun comes up. The walls are thin so you can hear outside noise but it’s not loud. Good air conditioning, fan and there was a mosquito net. There is a sort of mothball smell but that’s likely from bug spray. Staff were nice and courteous. The breakfast was decent and there was a nice view of the Old Fort. The hotel is located in a main tourist shopping area.

We had a great stay in Jafferji House for 2 nights. The location of the hotel in the heart of Stonetown is awesome, and you can walk to all famous sights of the city. The employees were super friendly and helpful. When we first arrived, the sheets in our room were dirty but they took perfectly care and offered immediately a new room to us, we could even look at 2 other rooms and decide which one we wanted. Also organizing a city tour and the taxi back to the airport, helping with restaurant recommendations, everything was taken care of super fast and efficiently. Since we had to leave before breakfast time, they even offered a breakfast to go option. The room was spacious, equipped with AC and had everything we needed. We would definitely come back again.

O hotel é um hotel boutique, numa construção antiga que lembra as construções marroquinas. Achei muiot legal o quarto, o banheiro e as comodidades. Pessoal atencioso e cuidadoso. Localização excelente e segura. Vale a pena se hospedar nele. Recomendo a experiência do hotel e do entorno.

A nice boutique hotel located in a very downtown of Stone Town. It is kept in a vintige wooden style, but rooms are fully equipped with AC and safe. The breakfast is served on a top floor terrace with a nice view over surrounding rooftops (photos attached). We spent there two nights, with a warm welcome at reception and we were nicely treated with a typical local appreciation and helpfulness. Rooms were very quiet even when there was a lot of construction ongoing nearby. Location is in a walking distance to any old town attraction.

Trevlig personal, vi bodde i superior svit, dwt var rent och fräsht men badrummet luktade lite konstigt. Jg hade gärna bott här igen.

We recently stayed at a 4-star hotel in Stone Town and, unfortunately, it did not live up to expectations. The staff were friendly, but not particularly proactive or helpful when issues arose. While we appreciated the warm demeanor, the service didn’t quite meet the standard you’d expect from a hotel rated at this level. Breakfast was served on the rooftop, which did offer a lovely view of the city and ocean—a definite highlight. However, the breakfast options were quite limited, and the overall quality was underwhelming. Our biggest disappointment was with the room itself. We stayed in the “Living Stone” room, which looked charming and character-filled in the online photos. In reality, the room was fairly basic and lacked any of the charm or ambiance we had anticipated. It felt rather plain and unremarkable. Cleanliness was a significant issue. Upon arrival, we discovered the bed linens were dirty and had to request that the bed be remade—a surprising oversight. Even after that, the overall cleanliness left much to be desired. To make matters worse, the bathroom had a persistent sewage odor that was impossible to ignore. While the hotel has potential—particularly with its rooftop and central location—it fell short in areas that really matter: cleanliness, comfort, and value for money. Sadly, we left feeling disappointed and wouldn’t return or recommend it to others without significant improvements.

Absolutely beautiful and historic hotel near shopping, dining and city sights.

The property needs an upgrade. The breakfast quality needs improvement. The dining staff service needs improvement.

This hotel is a beautiful old original Arab style house in stone town full of original features and decor. Staff were friendly, welcoming and helpful. I rea example of a comfortable hotel with the genuine Swahili coast experience

Jafferji is unique in style and the room were very spacious

Rommet er er delt inn i mange høyder, med terskler og trapper. Det er ingen standard for hvor høyt ett trinn er. Jeg falt på vei til toalettet på natten, da jeg feilvurderte trinnet. Grunnen var at jeg så treverket, men ikke høyden på de hvite flisene som var lik gulvet. Jeg slo meg kraftig.

Beautiful heritage hotel in the center of Stone Town, close to many attractions. Room was super large and carefully decorated with local artifacts and furniture. I loved the breakfast on the rooftop with a 365 degree view of the city! Special call to the staff who was very friendly, attentive and who helped us organize a car transfer to our next destination.

Unique property. Kind staff. Good breakfast. Great aircon!

Jafferji House exceeded expectations as a historic location owned and decorated by a noted artistic figure, originally a family home, right in the centre of a World Heritage site. Individual rooms are in themselves notably special. The professionalism and dedication of the desk staff was the icing on a very rich experience.

Beautiful hotel right in the middle of all of the shops. Very convenient, quiet and comfortable. Beautiful rooftop terrace!!

This place was average. Very quaint and charming. Breakfast was lacking and the room linens didn't seem very clean. There were stains on the pillow cases and sitting areas. There's also a fee that that require in cash in addition to the regular payment and they hound you if you don't have cash to pay it right away. Overall, cute place but not really my kind of comfort.

Jafferji House is located in the heart of Stone Town, conveniently located in the labyrinth of streets full of cool doors and shops catering to tourists. Jafferji House has a colonial era Africa vibe, filled with interesting antiques and curiosities. The rooftop breakfast dining room is a lovely peaceful spot to start the day, with 360 degree views of the town and the ocean. Rooms ate large and each one has unique charm. is unreliable. Staff was helpful and knowledgeable. Accessibility note: this is an old mansion, so lots of stairs/uneven walkways.

It was eclectic however the air condition didn’t work so great. Other than that, it was quite lovely… assuming you’d like ethnic stylings… Which I do. It’s history.😀
