This was the perfect stay. Slept great in a comfortable bed with AC in the room. Breakfast was delicious, and the hotel was central to all the attractions and explorations of Stonetown we’d wanted for our three days here. Big thanks to Bianca, Dennis, and Aisha - great hosts. Asante sana!

The hotel is in a prime location, it is beautiful and every detail is very well thought. Staff is lovely and very helpful (special mention to Bianca). Room was very comfortable and big, with a very nice ensuite bathroom. Very comfy mattress, and both ceiling fan and aircon to choose. The detail of having a hot/cold water dispenser for guests on every level is very handy and convenient. Breakfast is excellent, wide a wide range of freshly made options every morning. Would definitely recommend.

The staff at Shaba accommodated our family when there was a mix up at another hotel we had booked. We were welcomed with a cool space to sit and welcomed cool drinks. The staff were so friendly and accommodating, the hotel was quaint and beautifully decorated. Our rooms were large with balcony looking over the rooftops of stone town. Walking distance to ferry and night market. Beds were very comfortable, air conditioned rooms with large ensuite bathroom. Breakfast was great. Great value for money, would highly recommend.

The hotel is nicely decorated and the room we had spacious with separate sleeping rooms for us and the children. The breakfast was fantastic and the staff superfriendly. The location is not the best of the best but close to top places. Further, the booking process did not go smoothly as we were told a number of times that no rooms were available while the app showed there were rooms. Lastly, the noises in the night from the street were quite disturbing.

The hotel perfect for a few days stay in Stone Town. The location was perfect. The rooms were suitable and the staff were amazing and helpful. Especially Hamed, nothing was too much when asked. Just to note that the travel from the taxi to the hotel is about 5-7min walk as they are unable to drive directly to the hotel.
