"Incredibly historic building with unique individually decorated rooms! Perfect location for walking around Stonetown. Delicious breakfast served on rooftop! Request Belle room if you don't want a lot of stairs. It has a huge balcony along the front of the building so it's fun to see tourists stop and take photos!"
"We (me, my husband and three boys from the age 3 to 9) left our all-inclusive resort on the east coast (Uroa) to stay 2 nights in vivid Stone Town. The Habari House was our choice because of its centrsl location with only a short walking distance to everything.

"I stayed at Zanzibar Palace Hotel from June 8 to June 10 and had an amazing experience. The hotel is full of character, with beautiful Zanzibari decor and a peaceful atmosphere. The staff were incredibly warm and helpful, the breakfast was delicious, and the location was perfect—close to all the sights, yet quiet at night. A true gem in Stone Town. Highly recommended!"
"Lovely little hotel old style
Very friendly staff busy location everything is around .me and friends love the place if I go back I wold love to stay there again "
"PLEASE BE AWARE. This place overbooks clients so when you arrive they say there is NO reservation under your name. Then they send you to another location of much lower quality.

"Staff at the property are absolutely amazing! Friendly, helpful, and accommodating. Take great care of their guest.
Location in a great spot in Stone Town. "
"Beautiful boutique hotel in Stone Town! Very friendly and attentive staff, lovely breakfasts, charming and quiet garden and outdoor dining area, spacious rooms. A fantastic experience overall and would def recommend!"
"It is a simple place - clean and adequate. it could have used a bottle of water in the room and the TV did not work, but for my needs it was fine. And the staff was very nice about my arriving at 3am. "
"The place is amazing and you get the value for your money. The location is central, top notch and very excellent customer service. Would recommend over and over."
"I arrived after dinner, and they thought I was a no-show so they gave up my premium room. The next day they moved me to a nice room. The place itself is definitely not fancy. But the staff were all super nice and helpful. The people in Zanzibar are pretty nice and fantastic though, so there’s that. "
"The Garden Lodge is in a lovely building, the garden is in fact beautiful, there is a restaurant right in the hotel, the staff are very helpful, and the rooms are very pleasant. I would stay here again."

"The hotel was wonderful. A safe place with delicious food and the people are so lovely. Clean and got everything you need.
My only thing would be to make sure there is an all inclusive coconut rum. "
