Popular points of interest near Shoki Shoki House Stone Town include St Joseph's Roman Catholic Cathedral, Old Fort of Zanzibar and House of Wonders. The nearest airport is Abeid Amani Karume International Airport, 7 km from the hotel.

Shoki Shoki house was booked last minute for 3 night and it did not disappoint. The general manager, David, was very helpful and honest when we sat down to ask him about the island and Serengeti safari. The property did not disappoint and the location was ideal, a close walk to the beach, the market and restaurants. It is clean, the staff is pleasant, the breakfast is delish, and the overall experience was extremely positive. Asante Sana to everyone at the HOUSE.

Sanaa Hostel is located on the beachfront in Zanzibar City, 400 metres from Stone Town Beach and 500 metres from Peace Memorial Museum. This property is set a short distance from attractions such as House of Wonders, Sultan's Palace, Zanzibar, and Old Dispensary. The accommodation provides a shared kitchen, a shared lounge and currency exchange for guests.

It is a family owned hostel and the owners are really good and genuine people, made sure I was really comfortable and looked after, I even got invited to break fast with them during Ramadan which was really delicious. The location is perfect and quiet but really close to town (5min) and all the attractions. Thank you so much for everything, can highly recommend this place:)

    Location is fantastic! It is located in the heart of stone town, walkable to anywhere within a 3 km radius of the old town. Rooms are clean, shared bathroom is well maintained. It was very easy to get a hold of someone from the hostel for inquiries, they are very responsive. Front desk also arranged for all our tours, and shuttle transfers at a decent competitive price.

    Forodhani is my second home in Stone Town. Competitive rates, big spacious rooms, and a nice basic breakfast to get you going. The hotel is in the best location. Across the road from Forodhani Park which is the central attraction in Stone Town for its famous night food markets. Also close to the beach. The hotel is a walking distance from the Ferry terminal. A great swimming pool on the rooftop. The staff is always great, welcoming, and considerate.
