Top House of Wonders Hotel Reviews

Spice Palace Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Now there are hotels for staying only, convenient location, etc., but this one excels in the long-forgotten personal touch and the joy of hosting and servitude. I have experienced greater care, postcard messages, and cookies to wish you good night. It is also in the best location in Stone Town, where you can access all the highlights of the place within 10 to 20 minutes. Beautifully decorated and a great place to stay."

Mizingani Seafront Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The Mizangani Seafront Hotel was an amazing, atmospheric bit of old Zanzibar looking out on the Stone Town harbor, and across from the Dar es Salaam ferry landing. They served a wonderful breakfast on the veranda. The reception and breakfast staff were very helpful and gave us a warm welcome. Our room was spacious and filled with beautiful Zanzibari details."

Zanzibar Coffee House

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel was very nice. What comes to mind is quaint. The staff was airing and attentive. The location made it a little difficult to get your luggage in and out, but we managed.
