A perfect location with beautiful interiors, clean and comfortable rooms and the friendliest staff in Stone Town!
Pros:

A perfect location with beautiful interiors, clean and comfortable rooms and the friendliest staff in Stone Town! A friend recommended this boutique and the only thing we didn’t like was that we only got to stay one night! The team created a beautiful bed decoration for our honeymoon and even made a cake and sang for my husband’s birthday. I’ll be recommending the Sharazad to anyone I know who goes to Zanzibar.

Cons:

Nothing - we loved it all.

A true gem in Stone town
Pros:

What a gem. This boutique hotel is set in a beautiful old house, full of character, with decor and atmosphere that make you feel like you’ve stepped into a different era of Zanzibar.

Our room was spotless and smelled of lemongrass — such a nice touch. Towels fluffy and super clean.

Breakfast was à la carte, which was a lovely change from the usual — felt more personal and fresh each morning. One evening there was live music, which added a really special touch to the atmosphere.

A wonderful stay overall — highly recommend for anyone wanting charm, comfort, and a genuine sense of place in Stone Town.

Cons:

The bed was a bit hard but I like sleeping in softer beds.

Un petit bijou au beau milieu de la vieille ville
Pros:

Le cadre en général. La cours intérieure avec son restaurant avec une cusine soignée et le petit-déjeuner gargantuesque. Le personnel est attentionné.

Amazing staff service
Pros:

The staff at this hotel were amazing - very acommodating and they remembered by name each and every time, which is normally something you encounter at the top end hotels, so a massive thumbs-up for the service level.
