Featuring a terrace and views of city, BABAbora house is a guest house situated in a historic building in Ngambo, 200 metres from Stone Town Beach. It is located less than 1 km from Peace Memorial Museum and offers a 24-hour front desk. The guest house provides a restaurant serving African cuisine, as well as free WiFi throughout the property.

Deserves a much higher rating on Booking. Lovely and welcoming staff. The owner is very responsive. Location is right in the heart of Stonetown, so it’s easy to walk everywhere, but still quiet. Large rooms and private bathroom was clean with hot water. Excellent value for money. The owner kindly arranged a very early morning taxi and checked if everything was going well. A very caring man. I would definitely stay here again. Google maps has it in the wrong place, so you need to head for the Hindu temple or Secret Garden.
