Top Darajani Market Hotel Reviews

8/10 Good

"Comfortable, classic property right on the beach. Staff was friendly and accommodating, the food was good. The only negative was the hotel is not licensed, but that is understandable given the location in the Muslim part of Stonetown."

Tembo B&B Apartments

8/10 Good

"Bad communication between hotel and driver causing our airport driver to have to wait a couple hours for us after our flight was delayed and no one from the hotel responded to my call, texts, or email. Shows lack of respect for the driver I think. Otherwise a nice stay."

The Neela Boutique Hotel Stone Town

10/10 Excellent

"Great location in the middle of the old city, very clean, staff very nice. Their restaurant was good. No pool (just saying this because some reviews make it look like there is a pool)."

Maru Maru Hotel

8/10 Good

"Les déjeuners sont ordinaires pour le prix cependant le souper super et les happy hours aussi"

Dhow Palace Hotel

8/10 Good

Zanzibar Palace Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely oasis of calm amidst the Zanzibar chaos. Very friendly attentive staff. Would definitely recommend ….."

Emerson Spice Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Russell and the Emerson Soice team made us feel welcome from start to finish. A fabulous building with lots of history and in a great location in Stonetown. The rooms were all very individually themed and the bed was very comfortable. The fans and ac were welcomed for the warmer nights. The hotel private a great breakfast of fresh fruit, juice, eggs, pastries tea and coffee on the roof top tea house restaurant. Great views of Stonetown ! The Secret Garden restaurant served some lovely fresh dishes and drinks and there is live local music a couple of nights a week. Overall I’d highly recommend the Emerson Spice Hotel and thanks for a great stay (and thanks for the late checkout too)"
