Zanzibar Coffee House was a wonderful place to stay for three nights to explore Stone Town and its surroundings. Noreen and her staff were wonderful and very welcoming. I have stayed in many hotels for both work and leisure travel, and this hotel has to rate as one of the best I have ever stayed in. I highly recommend it to anyone planning to visit Zanzibar.

Unique stay and great coffee!

Zanzibar coffee house provides a unique stay in gorgeous rooms. The staff was so friendly and welcoming. They provided recommendations of where to eat in Stone Town. They also make the best coffee! Breakfast on the rooftop was a highlight for us. Highly recommend.

This place was fantastic! The staff was so friendly, caring, and accomodating. Both my daughters stayed there and were delighted that they received a free welcome drink from the cafe, which had excellent coffee and baked goods. They loved how the towels were made into animals and placed on their beds, along with welcoming words spelled out in coffee beans on the beds. The room was very clean and the beds were comfortable. The room and the hotel are beautifully decorated. We all loved the rooftop terrace and the wonderful, friendly women that served us. It was also an excellent value. My daughters felt very safe staying there. They would stay there again and recommend to others!

If you are looking to stay in the heart of Stonetown look no further. The coffee and breakfast is easily the best on the island and the staff are UNBELIEVABLE! My wife is 5 months pregnant and fell sick 2 days into our trip, without asking the staff made her a local tea that is supposed to help with nausea and other ailments. Herensha, one of the managers helped us book a spice tour and checked in with us everyday to ensure our stay was perfect. I cannot express enough how the staff turns this already great hotel into a must stay in zanzibar!

This was a neat place to stay in the heart of the old part of Stone Town. Quaint, but with modern amenities like AC. I had a private bathroom down the hall which was clean and not far. Older building with stairs but I enjoyed my stay and felt it was worth it for sure.

if you’re in Stone Town, this is definitely a great place to stay. Beach is nearby. Manager is amazing, he provided someone with an umbrella, let me borrow a charger adapter, gave me a map of the town, helped me get to the beach, offered complimentary drink & I was able to check in early. I loved it here so much. The rooftop was amazing, the food was excellent & the staff was friends. I felt safe here & very welcomed. Thank you for hosting me!

A beautiful hotel, with lovely friendly happy staff, who always gave a huge morning welcome at breakfast time. Delicious healthy breakfast and the best coffee, I've tasted in a long time, I had to go back for another. I felt very safe and it's in a great location to get to/from the ferry and to walk around to the shops and restaurants.

A cozy maze of coffee-scented history

An excellent spot in the Stonetown. We stayed a couple of nights in Espresso. This location is near to the harbour area, and many shops for souvenirs or daily needs. The room was clean and spaceous, a slight surprise was the separate but private washroom - understandable in an old building with history and character. The service is excellent, and the breakfast was very versatile. High recommendations!

If you're the type of traveler who eats at McDonald's in other country's, then this property is probably not for you, but if you want to immerse in the local culture, its fantastic. Make sure you specify a bathroom in your room, unless you're ok with sharing, and make sure you arrange for a pickup at the airport for transportation to the hotel. The street is about 5 feet wide, and the van has to park a few blocks away. The area adjacent to the hotel is a lot like Marrakech, Morrocco with narrow streets and shops. The people are very friendly, and its safe, even though its very exotic. My Google maps worked well thank God to find our way around. The staff are very warm and friendly. We highly recommend this hotel. Andy H.
