Great little Annex hotel, to the main hotel tembo house (less than 1 minute walk between the 2) We had a family room which had 3 large double beds and plenty of space for 2 adults and 2 kids. Breakfast was very nice, with a varied selection. Pool facilities and restaurant were both great. Hotel staff were extremely helpful and friendly. The front of house manager (Kassim?) provided a great service and they assisted us with advice and helped arrange activities in stone town. Would definitely stay again!

We stayed in a family room in the annex. The beds were pretty comfy and the bathroom huge. We had a constant supply of hot water and I liked that the fridge had cold water already in it when we arrived. This was topped up during our stay. The room had a safe, air con and ceiling fans. As two females we felt comfortable walking from the hotel to the night market and back late at night. There was always staff at the entrance. The staff also were helpful in showing us where the nearest atm and grocery was for snacks.

While the location of the hotel is convenient, it is in urgent need of refurbishment and improvements in customer service. The property is spread across multiple buildings, but guests are not informed in advance which one they will be staying in. Room amenities fall short of even 3-star standards, and if you're placed in Tembo Palace, the views are disappointing, overlooking a narrow alley and old buildings. Issues such as a malfunctioning air conditioner, leaking wash basin, and unpleasant sewerage smells in the bathroom further detract from the experience, making the rooms far from comfortable.

Excellent hotel in the center of the old city. There are all amenities nearby - shops, cafes, souvenir shops. Good breakfast and incredible view by the pool 😍
14.05.2024
The hotel is in a very good location and decorated beautifully. It is close to all attractions. Staff were friendly and helpful. Rooms are spacious and clean. Breakfast was great with variety of food. However it could have more European options as it attracts a lot of tourists.

Everything was perfect, from the welcoming to the beautiful rooms, comfortable, clean... You can relax peacefully even in the middle of the city. They take good care of you and help in anything you may require. I can recommend it 100%. You will not regret it.

Really good service. Abdulaziz the manager provided first class service, and was extremely helpful and friendly and always checked on us at breakfast every day. The rooms are clean, the hotel is within stone town and close to a lot of the historical sites like the old palace, forodhani, darajani market and is a short boat ride to to prison island.

The location it's great! The breakfast at the main hotel it's good and diverse!
The service it's top as well.
The room is really spacious, but might need a bit of refreshing. (Top part the balcony I couldn't enjoy it because of the rain but I think it would be great on a sunny day.
