Reviews of Shoki Shoki Hotel Stone Town

Excellent location in the center of Stone Town, in a small and quiet alley. A perfect base to explore the city, everything was just a short walk away, from historical sites to the beach. The staff were friendly and helpful, always with a smile. The room was clean with a comfortable double bed. We also appreciated a few unexpected complimentary touches, such as packaged slippers and juice and soda in the mini fridge — a pleasant surprise!

One thing we would have appreciated is a functional window in the room — there wasn’t one, which would matter more for longer stays. For a short stay, though, it was perfectly fine.

The location is perfect , short walks to every amenities in Stone town. Beach and fantastic restaurants all a short stroll away.

Signing from the main road ( Taxi drop off area).

Small 10 room Bed & Breakfast and yes the breakfast is great (a la carte and very tasty). Rooms don't have views however the location in central Stone Town and its a short walk to restaurants etc. Perfectly adequate short stay option. They offer an airport shuttle which we used after our other driver was a no show.

Open shower (with curtain) so room does get water splash. Again no view so be sure you're happy with that (we were).

Great location, nice staff, nice breakfast!

Great location. Full breakfast. Very attentive staff. Luggage storage. Good restaurant and Night food market within easy walking distance.

Great stay dimmed by irresponsible, reckless driving by hotel recommended driver. We were travelling from Shoki Shoki hotel to Machamvi, approximately a 90 minute drive. The driver made several unscheduled stops - to pick up his wife and drop her off approximately 60 kilometers later, stopping mid-way to pull over and chat to another taxi driver, and stopping several times to buy snacks for himself. The driver drove full speed over potholes, dodging in and out of city traffic, often braking sharply. He spoke no English and had no idea where our hotel was located.

Beautiful room and great amenities. Top notch location!

Great location, nice staff, very good and large breakfast (including starter!).

No fault of the hotel itself but the parking situation is a hassle as you have to deal with the local parking mafia.

location, breakfast and staff

could be better cleaned, especially towels, hard to find for check in during night

Perfect location and perfectly friendly, helpful staff!

That - this time - I could only stay 3 days!!

Really good location, near the sea and alleyways. Family room was large and comfy. Breakfast very good, with an excellent range of options. Strong fan and AC, staff let us check in early which was very appreciated

Shower was pretty weak and splashed all over floor but that was it.

Very good Location and very good breakfast!

It’s super cantral in Stone Town. A few steps from the beach or the shopping streets.

We got a room on the side of the hotel that didn’t let any daytime light in so room is best for just sleeping. But they have great seating in the hotel on every floor so we sat there.

Excellent location

Cold shower Sometimes noisey

perfect location - right in the heart of Stone town, close to everything. Friendly staff, good breakfast, beautiful historic building

the rooms look MUCH nicer on the photos than they actually are.. not sure if all the rooms are like that or we were just not lucky, but ours (deluxe double on the ground floor) was a bit sad, with very old bathroom decor, almost no light and not much storage space, even though the room itself is quite spacious. If you want some basic comfort for one night, it's fine, but there is none of that character and charm that initially attracted me on the photos and the reviews of this hotel

Perfect location , right in the heart of stone town, the receptionist Marrianne was very accommodating and welcoming. The place was clean and breakfast was delicious! 10/10 would recommend

The only issue we had was the shower system would sometimes switch from hot to lukewarm and eventually cold. Since we came in summer it wasn’t such a big deal.

Great staff and very nice breakfast. The location too is fantastic! Must stay if you are in stone town

The location was good. Next to the beach and main activities. Breakfast was good. Staff friendly . The Maassai helped us with our luggage to go up the stairs. Safe place to be

We stayed on the third floor and we had to go up all the stairs every time no elevator. No confortable chair in the room, you have to sit on the bed. For breakfast it would be nice to add a pancake or a crepe to the menu that has eggs.
