I had an amazing time at the coffee house! The room was very beautiful and breakfast exceptional but the highlight for me was the staff. They are what made my stay great!

This place was absolutely beautiful and very historic. The cherry on top was the AMAZING service. We only spent one night here but wish we were able to stay more. Very close to the water and lots of shopping around.
NADIA, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Stone Town is an amazing place. The hotel is well located and the decor is simple but classy. The roof terrace was great and breakfast was adequate. I took a room with a bathroom down the hall and it felt as if I was in a house. The staff was friendly and helpful.
carlos, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

Staff exceedingly friendly and helpful. Night doorman concept annoying. Coffee shop concept can result in needing to wait for hotel service. Water is hot but pressure non existent - you can get more pressure pouring a water bottle on your body.
Timothy, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.

Memorable stay in Stone Town

Our stay at Zanzibar Coffee House was great and unforgettable. The room was a room to remember, with great architecture. The personell and facilities were amazing. The breakfast was good, and the place was nearby everything you need in Stone Town. We will definitely come again if we are nearby, and would highly reccomend it to all travellers.

Would reccomend

It’s a great stay here. Plenty of character , rooms are nice! The coffee itself is quite strong but the breakfast is amazing and staff are lovely. Good location for walking distance within the rest of stone town too.

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!

Outstanding performance by the staff!

Outstanding performance by the staff! Had a great one night stay in this charmed small guest house. And you what a wonderful place to be a guest. The staff greeted me by my name and dit every thing in a high class hotel standard. The rooms, roof terrace, and other areas is clean and very cozy. I did not eat the free breakfast, but I enjoyed a delicious fresh coffee with a view. I highly recommend this place if you need accommodation within this price range. 😎🇹🇿❤️

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!

10/10 Exceptional

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!

Excellent property and superb service. Incredible coffees and pastries and a rooftop view that will left me feeling like I was on top of the world or at least this ancient city. I loved staying here. Just the hotel itself is an awesome discovery full of history and beautiful design/ architecture.
