"This property was ok I did not appreciate the arrival process how I like the spacious room and cleaning. I did not appreciate on an occasion the kitchen messing up the food. Also the area is not a safe area to walk around in "
"I stayed at Zanzibar Palace Hotel from June 8 to June 10 and had an amazing experience. The hotel is full of character, with beautiful Zanzibari decor and a peaceful atmosphere. The staff were incredibly warm and helpful, the breakfast was delicious, and the location was perfect—close to all the sights, yet quiet at night. A true gem in Stone Town. Highly recommended!"
"The property is really beautiful and has a lovely restaurant on the second floor with a great view of the ocean. My only complaint is that they didn't have a beer/wine selection, but that was minor."
"Great hotel next to the ocean. Our room had an amazing view of the ocean. The restaurant had great food and the staff were extremely nice. Great customer service. "
"This was our second time staying at Beyt al Salaam. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. From start to finish, the staff were friendly, welcoming, and always helpful. People went out of their way to help us. The room was kept clean and serviced. There is a restaurant that serves delicious food. The hotel is conveniently located in a lovely part of Stonetown and near to the beach. What made this stay so wonderful was the staff at the hotel who are simply brilliant. Thank you!"

Go to Forodhani park in the evenings and get shawarmas from Arnoldi's with everything. Then go sit down at the Merting point cafe and order their mango and lime juice and enjoy the best shawarmas and juice in town. Thank me later👍

Great history. Slave market visit was an eye opener and made me reflect about the wickedness of human beings and the goodness of other who fought to abolish slavery.

Remember this is still a poor town overall and there are many people just trying to make a living so do not be surprised when you are frequently asked to shop, hire or just hand money out.

The old town near the coast is nice, but aimed at tourists. Most are selling the same sort of souvenirs and T shirts
