3-Star Hotels in Stone Town

Antique hotel. On the path inside Stone City. Breakfast fruit buffet, coffee tea buffet. Breakfast order yourself. Mushroom beans are cooked. Egg queue. Bread toast. Very satisfied. Radiotherapy is smaller. The hotel arranged a barge to pick up a tour to Guidao. Taxi is also arranged by the hotel. Cheap price.

We had drinks here one night and dinner and drinks another night. Both nights we watched the sunset, and it is beautiful from this hotel! They make good drinks and the staff are lovely. We will definetly recommend, if you are looking for a good place to get food and/or drinks while having a first class view of the sunset :-)

we always stay at Hiliki when we go to Zanzibar, it's good value, comfortable, good location and very nice staff. Delicious breakfast and the team can organise fair price excursions. Definitely recommend if you're passing a few days in stone Town.

The Swahili House is well positioned in the old town and is an authentic renovation merchants house. The rooms are simple but spacious, clean with aircon and hot water. The staff were all welcoming and accommodating. They helped us find our way around d and even escorted us to an atm! The roof top restaurant is one of only a handful in the old town and offers great views of the city. The food might be a little more expensive because of this but it was good. A good breakfast is served on the roof also. Overall we very much enjoyed staying here.

It's a great experience. It's surrounded by scenic spots, but the small roads are a bit unsatisfactory. There are dirt roads, but the rest is pretty good.

I booked my stay in Stone Town for 1 night as I had a late flight. It was really cheap and really easy. The rooms were clean and the staff (Abdullah) was very helpful in booking airport transfers for me and my friend. What can sometimes be a stressful time was made easy and quick because the staff booked reliable taxis and they also had grear knowledge of the area. I was a little worried when the check-in time was for 14:00 because we arrived at 12-noon. However, the staff got a room ready for us very quickly and we manage to be able to put away our luggage in a locked room giving us few worries. For the price this place is a steal!!
