One of the most fascinating historic towns in the world. Be sure to visit Zanzibar Curio Shop along with the various local markets. Keep an eye out for opportunities to attend performances of Taarab music.

- the three wheel transport mode i enjoyed those rides. - Stonetown buildings are a vintage but lacks maintenance, it makes the area look a bit untidy. Also the rusted roofing or corrugated sheets makes the aaerial view not beautiful. Painting them and the buildings will bring an added beauty to the image of stonetown.

Friendly people with a lot of places to visit. However there is a lack of food prices diversity. Most good food is somehow expensive and the cheapest food was bad. However my favourite place to eat during evening was at the small restaurant near the Mkunazini Anglican Cathedral where delicious rice dishes are served. Couples can enjoy the tours to Prison Island and around Stone townLukuwi - 10Scored 10

I sailed as a sea captain all around the island, including Pemba island. I spent here almost 2 months altogether. From tourist places, I liked Nungwi beaches. You have to know, most of tourist resorts are situated outside of local civilization. If you want to go shopping or to the local restaurant, you need to order a taxi everytime and the prices are high. The food and alcohol is quite expensive even for europeans. The locals are kind, although sometimes annoying if they are selling something. I felt absolutely safe, more than in EU. Traffic in the inlands is terrible, try to avoid travelling on these roads. Negotiate the price (taxi etc) before drive. They are able to ask 50 USD for 3 kilometres of ride after. If I could decide, I would try another exotic islands. Zanzibar needs 5-10 years to improve the services for tourist, infrastructure etc.RomanSlovakia - 10Scored 10

Navigating Zanzibar City was surprisingly easy, with an array of transportation options available. The compact size of the city made it convenient to explore on foot, with many attractions within walking distance of each other. I would definitely suggest trying the local Swahili food for fresh fish and seafood. For a visitor from South Africa, I found the price of food and drinks at restaurants relatively expensive.

- From US$152 per night8.5Scored 8.5Very goodRated very good· 1,318 reviewsI spent a night at Shaba Boutique Hotel before flying out of Zanzibar and it was perfect. I was able to check in a bit earlier and the room was stunning, the bed and all the decor felt true to Stone Town and the staff were so friendly and helpful in arranging transport to the airport as well. The breakfast was excellent in the morning. Location was great, during the night it can be intimidating walking the streets but it really isn't too far from the typical tourist spots. I would stay again in a heartbeat! Highly recommend.DivyaAustralia
- From US$126 per night8.2Scored 8.2Very goodRated very good· 4,716 reviewsIt‘s always good to have an AC and towels at the pool. The beach and city center (night market) is really near to the hotel. The pickup from the airport was on time and well organized. The staff is friendly and we could text them months before arriving with any questions. The breakfast was good: juices, fruits, fresh omelettes and crepes, cereals and even hot food like potatoes. We were at the apartements in another house near to the main hotel. If you need the beach and the pool nextdoor, remember to book the main hotel.
MarionGermany - 8.4Scored 8.4Very goodRated very good· 220 reviewsWe absolutely loved our stay at Emerson on Hurumzi. All the staff are so professional and genuinely friendly, the hotel and the rooms are beautifully designed, and the location is great, right in the middle of the city. We experienced the rooftop dinner on our first night and it was one of the highlights of our holiday. The food was excellent and the atmosphere among the guests, staff, and entertainers was unforgettable. If you're planning to stay in Stone Town, then Emerson on Hurumzi is your only option!JonathanUnited Arab Emirates
- 8.1Scored 8.1Very goodRated very good· 439 reviewsStaff was kind and helpful. Especially bar tenders were flexible for special requests and they tried to do their best. Our package was all inclusive. Selection of drinks were quite enough for this package. Hotel's location is little far from airport but it is exactly somewhere middle of the jungle. I can say I generally liked the atmosphere right over there and Swimming pool options were fine. Room was okay. Especially I liked the balcony with garden view. Breakfast and Lunch menus were satisfying.
OguzTurkey - From US$71 per night8.2Scored 8.2Very goodRated very good· 179 reviewsThe location and the team were outstanding. The owner Sadaat was extremely helpful organizing trips and gave us a lot of insides about stone town. The rooms were lovely and spacious with sea view exactly as advertised. Food was also delicious. We specifically choose smaller hotels during our holidays as we don’t like the big chains where you are just a number. Sadaat and his team really gave our time there a personal touch. We had a fantastic time at Archipelago Stonetown.
StephanieUnited Arab Emirates - 8.1Scored 8.1Very goodRated very good· 143 reviewsIncredible value for money. Generous comfortable room, with a fabulous bed + AC, fan and fridge. Location is perfect for exploring Stone Town. The staff were wonderful, and accommodated a late check out as no one was arriving to stay in our room that day. Highly recommend their sister restaurant Archipelago, delicious food (the King Fish and Prawns were amazing) beautifully located on the beach front to watch the sun set, and romantically lit at night.StephUnited Kingdom

- From US$95 per night7.5Scored 7.5GoodRated good· 100 reviewsWe were looking for a place in Stone Town fairly last-minute, and the Asmini Palace worked out perfectly. The hotel is very nice, and the staff friendly and helpful. Breakfast on the rooftop was quite enjoyable, with fresh fruit and good variety and portions. There are plenty of restaurants around, and finding good food outside the hotel was not too hard. This was a very good place for our first view of Stone Town.AdamKenya
