Loved the charming room, but a mini-fridge would have been nice.

location away from main areas, unlimited filtered water, unique building with antiques

The access to the hotel is abysmal, requiring a muddy walk down an alley that can't accommodate vehicles!!! The view from my room was dismal, staring straight at a rusty corrugated roof. the inadequate water pressure needs attention!!!

Would be happy to recommend for a brief pit stop

Comfortable room, friendly staff, including a warm welcome drink on arrival, and a fantastic breakfast on the rooftop with specialty coffee options, all conveniently located just a short walk from the ferry terminal.

No negatives to report

i was generally impressed with the decor, but the owners’s cold demeanor definetly put a damper on my stay. also, good luck if you choose a room with an external bathroom because it’s a real trek. i almost wrote a glowing review, until i realized no one offered me complimentary drinks to ease the discomfort. i mean, come on!

I had a fab stay in the Arabica Suite. The rooftop breakfast was unbeatable, with delicious food and great coffee. Loved exploring Stone Town with everything just a stroll away. Highly recommend!

Wonderful rooftop views

The staff were friendly and helpful. their joy

created a warm vibe that made my stay at Zanzibar Coffee House a delight. The rooftop breakfast was particularly enjoyable with lovely views of Stone Town. The location was excellent, making it easy to explore, although alley noise can be noticeable at times.

The rooftop terrace was perfect for relaxing with a cold drink, and the breakfast coffee could easily compete with the best. Our room, though clean, had a bathroom a bit too far for late-night trips. Still a cool spot overall!

Our family loved the vibrant atmosphere of this cozy spot! The kids enjoyed exploring the lively streets around the hotel, and we appreciated the warm recommendation for local dining. Plus, the rooftop breakfast with a view was simply delightful—a great way to start the day!

My kids wished for more family-friendly entertainment options.

we had a great time at coffee house! the location is perfect, just a short stroll to the main attractions in stone town. breakfast on the rooftop offered amazing panoramic views and delicious food, especially the avocado toast. the staff was super friendly and helpful, especially when they arranged our airport pick-up.

100% recommend

The location was fantastic, with easy access to all main tourist attractions in town. The rooftop breakfast was delightful, featuring fresh juices and a variety of local delights. The staff was friendly and engaging, which made our stay more enjoyable, especially with our young children.

The access to the hotel was a bit challenging, requiring a walk down an alley that could get muddy.

unforgettable stay with delightful rooftop breakfast and charming atmosphere

Every moment at Zanzibar Coffee House was magical! The attentive staff made us feel at home, while the stunning rooftop breakfast with fresh juices left us speechless. Lovely room charm!

great stay with a few drawbacks

The staff were incredibly supportive. Richard stood out with great assistance during our stay. Breakfast had an amazing selection that delighted everyone, from fresh fruits to local delicacies that we couldn't get enough of. The hotel room was pristine, with a beautiful blend of traditional and modern decor, making it quite comfortable. having unlimited filtered water was a great touch that we appreciated throughout our stay.

The access to the hotel can be a bit challenging, including a walk down a muddy alley which can be uninviting.

The decor and style of the house are commendable, and the coffee served is top-notch. Rooftop breakfast offers a delightful variety, including fresh croissants that add a special touch to the mornings. the room felt sparse, and the bed was uncomfortable, detracting from the experience. The bathroom was outdated and not properly cleaned given the nightly rate. Noise from the nearby alleys was also noticeable, adding to the overall discomfort.
