Stone Town, 0.1 km from House of Wonders

"We stayed in the Mercury room. The room was fine. The windows are coloured glass with no window coverings so it gets bright when the sun comes up. The walls are thin so you can hear outside noise but it’s not loud. Good air conditioning, fan and there was a mosquito net. There is a sort of mothball smell but that’s likely from bug spray. Staff were nice and courteous. The breakfast was decent and there was a nice view of the Old Fort. The hotel is located in a main tourist shopping area."

Top House of Wonders Hotel Reviews

Maru Maru Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Très bien situé"

Tembo House Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Service and staff were excellent. The hotel is immaculately hygienic. Cleaned everyday. Breakfast was excellent. Great beach and restaurant and Stone Town location. Highly recommend."

Dhow Palace Hotel

8/10 Good

"Really good value for money, location is good and staff were very friendly."

Turaco Spice Tree, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel

8/10 Good

"Good clean room in the heart of Stone Town but away from all the tourist shops and touts. Quiet room with food a/c. Helpful staff."

Princess Salme Inn

10/10 Excellent

"After staying at several other places in Stone Town, I found Princess Salme Inn to offer an excellent balance between price and value."

Shaba Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful and charming place, great location with AC, WiFi and breakfast. Highly recommend."

Tembo B&B Apartments

10/10 Excellent

"Very good hotel"

The Seyyida Hotel And Spa

8/10 Good

"The room was clean, and housekeeping came by every day to clean and replace the towels. For the first two mornings, there was no hot water early in the morning. After I reported it, they sent a housekeeping staff member to verify the issue before alerting maintenance. By the following morning, it had been fixed, and I finally got to enjoy a blissfully hot shower. My room was next to one of Stone Town’s many alleyways, so there was almost always activity and noise late into the night. As a light sleeper, I found this quite challenging. The rooftop restaurant has some of the best views in Stone Town. Just be prepared to share the space with lots of birds—they can be quite persistent while you’re trying to eat! Overall, I think Seyyida is a decent place to stay in Stone Town. That said, there are other hotels that don’t have these issues. The second hotel I stayed at (not Seyyida) was almost perfect, so you definitely have options. Even so, Seyyida isn’t a bad choice at all."

Tembo Palace Hotel

8/10 Good

"The place is nice. However, the advertisement about tempo palace was deceiving. We thought the tempo palace was on the beach as per pictures that we saw. However, even though you have access to the beach and pools at tempo hotel, tempo palace is in a different side with old building views. We were not allowed to check in early. There were fixing the bathroom by the pool. There were dust all over the place and hanging the whole afternoon We tried to take a nap after a long flight but we couldn't bc of the noise. When we told them about the situation, they offered to give us a room on a different level on the same tempo palace which didn't make sense. We stayed where we were. The magnets tried to accomodate but they couldn't. It was disappointing. They tried to provide us a late checkout and a place to shower. We checked out early so we we had other plans. When we ask to shower, they told us a couple was using the room that we need to wait 10 min. That 10 min ended up being over one hour. It was disappointing. I had to call the manger for us to get a room to shower. I wish they make it easy for us. It was disappointing. Besides that the food was good."
