Zanzibar Palace Hotel - Reviews

Palace Hotel -- 5. This hotel is a little funky, without the luxury of a larger chain hotel, but it is perfect for Stone Town. The location is away from the tourist area, and away from the road, but in the most interesting parts of Stone Town.

Very nice boutique hotel with friendly staff and very comfortable accommodations. Great location; close to the main tourist destinations, but quieter than the larger hotels. Two nights here was about perfect for exploring Stone Town.

- J. Glen

Zanzibar Palace is beautiful and our suite, Arabica, is beautifully positioned at the top of the hotel. The steps may be a challenge for guests with any walking issues but they are well worth the energy.
