"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 Shakti Temple Hotel Reviews

Park Hyatt Zanzibar

10/10 Excellent

"Very recommended! Amazing hotel! Great location. Extremely helpful staff!!!"

Tembo House Hotel

8/10 Good

"Our stay here was fine. The hotel is right on the water with a great proximity to StoneTown shopping and the sights. The breakfast was very good and the staff was helpful. Recommended!"

Spice Palace Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I love staying in Stonetown and this was the perfect location. The staff was very nice and the accommodations were satisfactory. It is an older property, as are most accommodations in Stonetown but the room was clean, the bed was comfortable and it was a pleasant stay. "

Tembo Palace Hotel

8/10 Good

"Great hotel!"

Dhow Palace Hotel

8/10 Good

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

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."
