Great location Exceptional food Amazing ambiance Quality rooms

What an absolute gorgeous gem of a hotel in Stone Town. Truly authentic building and decor and incredible bedrooms. I stayed in the ‘Kate’ room which was utterly delightful. Beautiful private terrace overlooking the town, enormous bedroom (beautifully decorated) and an open-air bathtub adjoining. Super private. Gorgeous to wake up in the morning and open the doors and feel the breeze filter through. Beautiful bed linen and towels (woven locally) and handmade soaps. If you are into aesthetics, then this is the place for you. I can’t say enough to rate the hotel. All the staff were absolutely delightful and super attentive (as a single female traveller it was very much appreciated). The Manager was extremely kind and friendly. Also organised a fantastic private tour of the town for me which was brilliant. The rooftop restaurant is to die for. The best, authentic and freshest of food I have ever eaten.The taster plate experience with sunset and cocktails was dreamy. Amazing views and ambiance. Didn’t want it to end! The Secret Garden restaurant is also absolutely worth a visit. I attended on a Friday evening when there was live music being performed. Truly magical. Again, the food was just amazing and the staff all super kind.

Incredible venue, great food, wonderful staff!

Fabulous location close to main road, and a short walk along busy promenade area to fabulous restaurant. Follow the main road round to a few lovely jewellery shops and small craft shops. Explore the side streets and see the old buildings. Hotel had a nice coffee area adjoining the hotel. Swimming pool was amazing with beautiful sofas to lounge on in the shade! Staff were super friendly and very helpful. Room was ready on arrival and they accommodated our very early morning checkout. Fabulous fresh Zanzibar coffee at breakfast, and help yourself to as many cups as you wished. A super hotel for a night or 2 in Stone Town!

The staff at Shaba hotel were exceptionally kind and helpful, and always with a smile (one kind staff member was even named Happiness, and she was definitely happy every time I saw her!) :) I love the centrality of Shaba hotel and where it was located within the windy streets of Stonetown. The breakfast was elaborate and yummy. I also appreciated being able to leave my bag downstairs when I checked in early/checked out late, and the staff even let me borrow an umbrella when unexpected rain came, as well as helped me print my ferry ticket. They were just simply amazing. I also really loved the room (I upgraded to the larger room), the style was beautiful and the room was very clean. Everything was great at this hotel and I will definitely be back.
