Zanzibar Palace Hotel

We spent a few days here after our Tanzanian safari, and loved the place. It's about 200 years old and only 9 rooms, but our room was renovated recently and reminiscent of a sultan's palace! The bed was huge and comfortable, the tub was enormous and also had a great shower and our balcony overlooking the city was a pleasant addition. The service was impeccable, including one of the staff who went to the market to find an item for my wife that she had broken, we could not believe that she was successful! The breakfast buffet was great and filling, and the menu for dinner was very good. The location is the best, right in the middle of everything and just steps away from the markets. It was a great stay and we can't recommend it enough.

You can’t fault the service, really nice people, accommodating and friendly. The hotel does feel tired though. Toilet seat was very stained - but room spotlessly clean. Sheets were very rough, no bedside lights. One light clipped onto the bed frame didn’t work. |Also worth noting the plugs are European not UK (like everywhere else we stayed in Zanzibar & Pemba).||We feel it was expensive for what it is.

Excellent location, facilities, food, service, staff etc. Manager & staff were extremely helpful & easy to work with. The view of the sunset from the room on the top floor was mind blowing. Location right in the heart of stone town was convenient & really special to be immersed in it.

We loved staying at Zanzibar Palace Hotel. The staff is amazing and always friendly. We stayed at the honeymoon suite and that is probably the best hotel room in whole Zanzibar. We definitely recommend staying here if you go to Stone Town!

Absolutely wonderful hotel with the most helpful staff! Would stay there again in a heartbeat. We stayed in a suite that was spacious, very comfortable and luxurious bed and super clean. Only thing worth being aware of is that the hotel like several others in Stone Town has several floors but no elevator so difficult for those who have trouble with stairs.

A very traditional hotel of historical importance to Stone town with many of the original features preserved. The staff were extremely friendly and made us feel welcome. Breakfast was delicious and there was a cozy bar area for drinks in the evening. We were lucky enough to have the room at the top with a roof terrace where we loved watching the busy port activities. I highly recommend a stay here in the heart of the old city with easy access to all the sights.

Wonderfully friendly staff and a nice breakfast. It's a tradeoff between soundproofing, climate control, elevators, etc. and the ambiance of a traditional residence in the heart of Stone Town.
