Shaba Boutique Hotel

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.

Perfect location - beautiful Hotel and very friendly Staff. The Hotel Management was fantastic and the breakdast was delicious. I can recommend this Hotel for everyone. It is very quiet, has a beautiful Interior and offers a super Price. A Special extra is tea and water for free.

Great authentic place with everything you need for your trip. Lovely room with good breakfast. The place and the room were very clean. The personnel was very kind and helpful. Very welcoming place. Clean and comfortable. Highly recommended.

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.

The room is most authentically decorated I have ever seen. The beauty is in every detail of this boutique hotel, in each decor piece. Prime location in the heart of Stone Town. Such a lovely personnel and friendly service. Diverse and hearty breakfast.

We enjoyed everything about our short stay at Shaba. Most importantly, the staff were incredibly kind and helpful- we had a mix up at booking (my fault) and they worked hard to find solutions. We also liked that the hotel was in an area of Stone Town that while convenient to everything, was a little away from the more tourist area so felt more real, less polished than other parts of town. The rooms were beautiful and comfortable, the breakfast was delicious, and we enjoyed sitting on the street outside the hotel with coffee and watching the street life of Stone Town. The only small downside is because it's in a tight part of the city, the balconies did not look out on anything but tin roofs (at least our room- I think some rooms have nice balconies).
