Top Old Fort Hotel Reviews

Tembo Palace Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay; I didn't expect any kind of view and it is in the midst of other buildings. A short walk from the main hotel, where you have access to all of the the amenities including breakfast, pools, private beach, etc. The room was a bit bare bones for furniture, but what was there was local and good quality. No mosquito netting, but they say that they spray, although we did find one. We used the ceiling fans all night which should also keep them away. The bathroom was beautifully tiled. Great staff at the main hotel and there is security at the entrance to the Palace Hotel. Biggest downside - uneven stairs and no elevator."

Tembo House Hotel

8/10 Good

"Enjoyed our stay. Our room was small and tight with a sea view, but unfortunately just a glimpse of the sea from our 1st floor room. Lovely buffet breakfast!"

Shoki Shoki Hotel Stone Town

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is very well located to walk around the city center. The staff were very helpful . It’s a very good option for the price, breakfast was included and was quite good"

The Neela Boutique Hotel Stone Town

10/10 Excellent

"The service at the Neela was unparalleled. The staff were unfailingly pleasant and helpful, but never fawning or in the way. Make sure to visit not only their downstairs cafe, but also their rooftop restaurant. Highly recommend."

Turaco Spice Tree, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely property in the heart of Stone Town. Fantastic staff very helpful and personable. Very high standards of cleanliness. It could do with a few pieces of attention to the rooms. Minor things like shower head holder not working well, shower do could benefit from a better seal and mattress was a bit lumpy. Minor issues as the fantastic staff make you feel so welcome and supported. Highly recommend."

Spice Palace Hotel

8/10 Good

"Spice Palace Hotel was a great place to stay in Stone Town. The breakfast was better than I expected (omelette served, location was center of Stone Town, staff was very helpful and price was great. My only complaint was that the pool could have been warmer. I would stay here again. Stayed 5 nights."
