1. Island Paradise Inn

Zanzibar Town

"The property was in a good location to get to Stone Town and the ferry. Booking thru Expedia led to some confusion at checkout as their Expedia payment system was initially declined so we had to go on Expedia chat followed by a phone call to the facility to straighten everything out. Expedia could make that process much less confusing. The included breakfast was a nice treat and while I mostly take the stairs, the elevator was not working for half our stay. Overall though the stay was lovely...

"The room was clean, and housekeeping came by every day to clean and replace the towels. For the first two mornings, there was no hot water early in the morning. After I reported it, they sent a housekeeping staff member to verify the issue before alerting maintenance. By the following morning, it had been fixed, and I finally got to enjoy a blissfully hot shower. My room was next to one of Stone Town’s many alleyways, so there was almost always activity and noise late into the night. As a...

Tembo House Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The buildings are historic and beautifully and respectfully transformed. Our room was in the annex across the street, a family-sized apartment. It was so comfortable and the bathroom was particularly beautifully imagined and tiled. The hotel amenities are great without being over the top. The terrace overlooking pool and beach are comfortable and gracious. Every single staff member we have interacted with has been lovely and helpful. The breakfast buffet is extensive, with Western-friendly choices but also an extensive Swahili selection as well; the lunch we recently ordered by the pool (from the Indian part of the menu) was delicious. I would recommend this hotel to anyone and would stay here again myself the next time I am here."

Dream of Zanzibar Resort & Spa - Premium All Inclusive

8/10 Good

"The best part about this hotel was that everything was all inclusive. Otherwise, it's a well-maintained hotel with few amenities and beautiful gardens, we stayed at the resort all day because it's a bit isolated from most of the activities. We enjoyed the food, although at some point we felt like the food menu was not changing much. Food was limited at the buffet. Otherwise, customer service was amazing."

Tembo Palace Hotel

8/10 Good

"The place is nice. However, the advertisement about tempo palace was deceiving. We thought the tempo palace was on the beach as per pictures that we saw. However, even though you have access to the beach and pools at tempo hotel, tempo palace is in a different side with old building views. We were not allowed to check in early. There were fixing the bathroom by the pool. There were dust all over the place and hanging the whole afternoon We tried to take a nap after a long flight but we couldn't bc of the noise. When we told them about the situation, they offered to give us a room on a different level on the same tempo palace which didn't make sense. We stayed where we were. The magnets tried to accomodate but they couldn't. It was disappointing. They tried to provide us a late checkout and a place to shower. We checked out early so we we had other plans. When we ask to shower, they told us a couple was using the room that we need to wait 10 min. That 10 min ended up being over one hour. It was disappointing. I had to call the manger for us to get a room to shower. I wish they make it easy for us. It was disappointing. Besides that the food was good."

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Ng'Ambo?

For most visitors to Ng'Ambo, the best area to stay is Stone Town, which is the historic core of the city.

Stone Town is a UNESCO World Heritage site known for its winding alleyways, coral stone buildings, and intricately carved wooden doors. It's a compact and walkable area, with landmarks like the Old Fort, Forodhani Gardens, and the House of Wonders all within easy reach. The main streets like Creek Road and Kenyatta Road define the edges of its most popular sections.

Couples often find Stone Town ideal for a romantic trip. The narrow streets are great for leisurely strolls, discovering hidden courtyards and rooftop restaurants with views of the Indian Ocean. The evening food market at Forodhani Gardens offers a unique dining experience right on the waterfront.

Solo travellers will also appreciate Stone Town for its accessibility and the sheer number of guesthouses and boutique hotels.

When is the best time to go to Ng'Ambo?

The best time to visit Ng'Ambo is during the dry seasons, which run from December to February and again from June to October.

These months offer consistently sunny skies and pleasant temperatures, making it ideal for exploring the historic Stone Town and relaxing on the nearby beaches. You'll find less humidity and generally calm waters for activities like snorkelling and diving.

Travellers looking for a beach holiday will appreciate the December to February period. The weather is superb for sunbathing and swimming, and the sea breezes keep things comfortable. It's a popular time, so booking your accommodation and any excursions in advance is a good idea.

For those interested in exploring the cultural and historical sites of Ng'Ambo, the June to October dry season is excellent. The cooler temperatures make walking around Stone Town more comfortable, and you'll still enjoy plenty of sunshine for day trips to spice farms or other attractions.

Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?

You can cancel your hotel reservation on Expedia, though it depends on the cancellation policy of your booking. Most bookings are refundable if canceled within 24-48 hours of the scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. If free cancellation is available, you can cancel directly through your Expedia account by logging in, going to "My Trips", and selecting your reservation. To find flexible deals, filter your search by "Fully refundable property" for hotels in Ng'ambo.

How much is the nightly rate at a Ng'ambo hotel?

Prices for hotels in Ng'ambo often vary, but you can find a great deal from CA $42 on Expedia. All sorts of factors affect price, such as the time of year or the days of the week you choose for your stay. Find the best deals by being flexible with your dates, and sort search results by "Price: low to high" for the cheapest rate.
