    Navigating Zanzibar City was surprisingly easy, with an array of transportation options available. The compact size of the city made it convenient to explore on foot, with many attractions within walking distance of each other. I would definitely suggest trying the local Swahili food for fresh fish and seafood. For a visitor from South Africa, I found the price of food and drinks at restaurants relatively expensive.

    Paradise Found: Zanzibar's Enchanting Beauty

    Paradise Found: Zanzibar's Enchanting Beauty Zanzibar is simply one of the best places on Earth. Its beaches are nothing short of breathtaking, with pristine sands so fine they feel like silk beneath your toes. The tranquil waters, gentle and calm, create a mesmerizing backdrop that captivates the soul. My love for this place knows no bounds; it's a sanctuary of unparalleled beauty and serenity.

    Different styles from different times (african, muslim, maybe also european). Interesting experience is the market place and the night market for dinner under the stars. Also the hammam is worth to visit (with good gide)!

    It was lovely and we got to see the history of the slave trade (albeit sadly as it was a horrendous practice). The beaches are also very beautiful (Jambiani Beach was where we mostly went.) The spice farm tour and markets were lovely as we got all kinds of fresh spices. However, it is very tourist-centric. Payment is in dollars everywhere and people are always trying to sell you something. Feels very commercialised.

    Dirty, smelly, full of approaching ~beach boys, sellers and beggars. Much more aggressive than up north. Mostly came for a Nakupenda tour. Nice place but be aware that it’s crowded - by lots of tourists and then of course even the aggressive up in your face wanting to touch you sellers there too. The more upscaled beach hotels and restaurants are nice though.

    Stonetown is a cute, small city with arab influence.

    Stonetown is a cute, small city with arab influence. It is worth taking the boat to prison island to learn more about the history and see the turtles. 2 days is sufficient. In the evening there is a night market with different food stalls.

    I have booked this place only to have a chance to sleep for 5-6 hours. I came to Zanzibar at night around 4am so until I could go and check in to other hotel near the beach I decided to find something cheap and close to airport to get some sleep so I only stayed at this hotel for 5 hours so I cant say much. But the receptionist were nice and room is ok. If its just for 1 night to stay near airport because you need its fine, otherwise for longer stay in too far from city center and there is nothing around that much near hotel.

    We absolutely loved our stay at Emerson on Hurumzi. All the staff are so professional and genuinely friendly, the hotel and the rooms are beautifully designed, and the location is great, right in the middle of the city. We experienced the rooftop dinner on our first night and it was one of the highlights of our holiday. The food was excellent and the atmosphere among the guests, staff, and entertainers was unforgettable. If you're planning to stay in Stone Town, then Emerson on Hurumzi is your only option!

    We stayed at the hotel after our flight from France as we felt it was useless to drive one hour to our holiday destination late in the evening. The hotel is located two minutes drive away from the airport. Staff was very welcoming and pleasant, room comfortable with a very nice bed, great bathroom with italien walk in shower, nice terrasse and pool area. A great hotel for a night after or before your flight or if you want a modern hotel in Zanzibar city with easy access to Stone town. Very good value for money.

    The room was very nice, especially the bathroom. The location was perfect, in the middle of Stone Town, next to the Old Fort. Food was really good, especially the breakfast! The pool on the rooftop was the best after our Safaritrip. The view from the rooftop above the city is wonderful. We also had the possibility to leave our luggage in a luggage room after check out. We would definitely recommend this hotel for your short stay in Stone Town!

    The Hotel is well located in the heart of Stone Town. Our room was nice and spacious, so was the bathroom. Everything clean. There is a nice little pool, perfect for a quick refresh after exploring the city. The roof terrace is very nice, food was really good, although we didn‘t have breakfast as our flight was too early in the morning. Staff was nice and friendly, can totally recomend this place for a stay in Stone town.

    We were looking for a place in Stone Town fairly last-minute, and the Asmini Palace worked out perfectly. The hotel is very nice, and the staff friendly and helpful. Breakfast on the rooftop was quite enjoyable, with fresh fruit and good variety and portions. There are plenty of restaurants around, and finding good food outside the hotel was not too hard. This was a very good place for our first view of Stone Town.

    Very nice and clean room, great breakfast, very friendly staff. The hotel is close to the main spots of Stone Town and the main building is right on the beach. After check out they stored our baggages in a room and we could use the pool and everything in the hotel. Before our flight we could have shower and change in a nice separate changing room.
