Bel hotel typique avec excellent petit déjeuner
Pros:

Excellent accueil, même tardif. Dans cet hotel on est parfaitement immergé dans une des ruelles de Stone Town.
Le petit déjeuner est exceptionnel, varie et copieux.

Cons:

Le matelas est un peu dur mais je pense que c'est très commun à Zanzibar ;-)
On s'y fait très bien !

Schickes Stadthotel in bester Lage
Pros:

Sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtetes Hotel mitten in der Altstadt. Das Frühstück wird in Buffetform auf der beschatteten Dachterrasse angerichtet und enthält Getränke und etliche leckere Speisen.
Das Badezimmer war sauber und gross, der Wasserdruck ausreichend zum Haare wäschen.
Das Personal war super freundlich und hilfsbereit.

Cons:

Wirklich rein gar nichts.

Pros:

The people at the reception are very kind and helpful. Once I got there I had the surprise to get an upgrade for my room. It was my last day in Zanzibar so I really appreciated this move. There's a possibility for a shuttle to the airport as well.
As my flight was quiet early in the morning they asked me straight if I wanted a breakfast and organized it earlier than normally scheduled.
The breakfast is on the rooftop with an amazing view and sunrise on Stone Town.
The room was so spacious and clean, AC + fan and the location is completely in the center.
Thank you so much for your warm welcome.
Asante sana!

Pros:

​Treasures Zanzibar House is a fantastic choice if you want to be in the heart of the action. The location is perfect, situated right in the middle of Stone Town and just a short walk from the vibrant spice market. It offers excellent value for money for such a central spot.

​The rooms are well-equipped and clean, though it’s worth noting that the beds are quite firm. One of the best features of the property is the rooftop terrace, which provides a great atmosphere and a nice escape from the busy streets below.

​A few things to keep in mind for your stay:
​Service: The staff are very friendly and helpful, always ready to assist with any questions.
​Amenities: Note that there are no food or drinks available on-site.
​Breakfast: We departed early and weren't able to try the breakfast (and no packed option was available), so we can't comment on the morning meal.

​Overall, if you are looking for a budget-friendly, well-located base to explore the history of Stone Town, this is a solid pick!

Pros:

The staff was amazing. Great advice on where to go and places to eat. Attentive to your every need. Over and beyond. The location was good. Central and easy to get to all the things you want to see in stonetown. Great value for the low cost. The room was large and very charming. Bed was comfortable and hot water in the shower was reliable.

Cons:

No elevator. If you can't do 3 or 4 flights of stairs make sure you request a room on a lower level

Bardzo udany pobyt w Treasures of Zanzibar House.
Pros:

Hotel spełnił moje oczekiwania :). Duży pokój, duża łazienka, wszystko utrzymane w czystości. Personel miły, uśmiechnięty. Hotel znajduje się w starej części Stone Town, w wąskiej uliczce. Klimatyczne miejsce, z tarasem na dachu gdzie podają śniadania i można wypocząć. Dodatkowo bardzo blisko do portu, z którego odpływają promy. Z przyjemnością wrócę tu.

Cons:

Nie mam uwag.
