    The shower is a wet room but other than that, no issues!!

    Amazing location in the heart of stone town, we arrived in the morning from our flight and were able to check in early and even have breakfast on the roof. The bed was very comfy, rooms were big and the roof terrace was amazing, breakfast was also yummy and the service was brilliant - Queen was very accommodating, I would definitely recommend for a couple of days in stone town

    Not a hotel negative but Google maps took us twice to a different location, a school near the harbour. Weird.

    This was a comfortable hotel in a central location in Stone Town. The staff were terrific, collecting us and our bag when the taxi couldn't make its way to the nearest street. The beds were comfortable, the shower was great and the rooftop breakfast was plentiful, varied and delicious.

    Noise from nearby mosques at early morning time

    The place was very nice with the warmest hospitality. The location was perfect as we looked for a hotel near the airport and close to old town. Muhammad helped us and was very nice as we needed to leave early morning, he prepared for us fresh coffee and some takeaways.

    Not that I minded, but the beds were more hard than soft.

    I loved the beautiful views from the roof top, the beautiful breakfast provided by staff. This included falafel, fresh fruit and varieties of potatoes.

    The moment we set foot in the hotel we were met with smiles and welcoming staff. The room was perfect for us. Comfortable and clean. The hotel is centrally located and the breakfast is hands down one of the best we have had, served on their cool and spacious roof terrace.

    Initially the bed was very hard but they fixed it for us :)

    The breakfast was wonderful- authentic food and the best staff. The location was very central and near to anything. When we arrived the bed was VERY firm/ hard but the following morning we asked about it and the owner explained that they were new mattress that hadn’t been broken in yet. He provided cushions that were much better and we stayed two more nights. Taxi was also convenient and well run.

    I’ve traveled to over 60 countries around the world, but I have never been welcomed with as much warmth and genuine hospitality as I was here. Khalid and his team are absolute stars, they truly know how to make guests feel at home and go above and beyond to help organize every detail of your trip. Their care and effort are remarkable! The accommodation itself is centrally located in Stone Town, a brand-new, clean, and well-equipped hotel. It has all the important comforts, plus a lovely rooftop terrace with beautiful views over the city. The hotel also has its own little shop that stays open in the evening, as well as a charming souvenir store for gifts and keepsakes. I will absolutely be coming back here! A special thanks to Mohammed, who made my stay even more comfortable and enjoyable. Don’t hesitate, book your stay at Treasures of Zanzibar House! You won’t regret it!

    Bathrooms are a bit basic. The hotel is being renovated in parts maintaining the original architecture, as they get accommodation earnings, if you’re looking for a local business with the community at heart you should choose them (if stairs are not a problem for you)

    In the pedestrian central area with a refreshing rooftop terrace with a view. Rooms are large and conditioned. Had a wonderful chat with the owner who’s passionate about the history of the building and Zanzibar overall. Tasty local breakfast (not the usual boring international stuff). Great tours organised during the stay and good restaurant recommendations.
