Located quite close to everything there is to see and do in Stonetown. ##### Johan Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Cristobal Feb 1, 2024 Liked: Staff & service #### Disgusting Shower Shower is disgusting, needs to be renewed it, it’s too old, also it stinks all the time, gases come out of piping or somewhere and smells terrible. Bathroom in general needs an upgrade. Other than that did not find any other issue, location is the best right in the heart of town. ##### Cristobal Stayed 1 night in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Abiy May 27, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The Dhow Palace was a great place to stay, convenient to everything that Stone Town has to offer. The staff is amazing, very friendly and super helpful in organizing taxis and tours, and recommending activities as needed. The breakfast was also plentiful with varying options on a daily basis, unlike some places that offer the same exact things everyday. Housekeeping also came to the rooms on a daily basis to spray against mosquitos as a safety precaution. This was out first time in Zanzibar and we were there as a group for a couple of days. We wanted to experience different types of accomodations, and also had booked an Airbnb for a part of our stay, a decision we immediately regretted once we saw both places. Even after checking out, we still ended going back to Dhow Palace almost on a daily basis for one reason or another for the remainder of our stay in Zanzibar. Highly recommend. ##### Abiy Stayed 5 nights in May 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Yakup Aug 15, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Not Recommended The hotel is located on the historical and central part of Zanzibar called Stone Town, so the location is great, nothing to complain. The hotel arranged a taxi pick-up for the airport but the driver was not there, the driver was there but holding another name: Mary Lee. The taxi was very dirty and the driver not very hygenic. We arrived to the hotel with smiling reception but full of unprofessionalism. Me and my brother had booked 2 x Presidential Suites, but even though they had our details they were sloppy and asked unrelevant questions. We got to the rooms, on the 3rd floor next to each other and they were huge and maintained pretty well. As we were very tired we slept directly for 2h and after that wanted to have a shower to refresh up. But the water was not running. Tried to call the reception but either it was busy or no one picked up the phone. Went down in a rush, they said it will come back in 15-20min. It didn't, just imagine you are in a hotel for 12h paying decent amount of money but the water is not running! It was fixed after 2-3h. Another huge issue was internet. It worked well in the lobby but no reception in the rooms! Totally unacceptable in year 2024. We left the hotel around 02:00 AM with another taxi driver the hotel had arranged but this time when he started the car, on the android screen of the taxi an adult movie started to play. He quickly changed it to a muslim prayer. To sum up; historical nice building, But I had expected much more... ##### Yakup Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mathilde Oct 22, 2025 Liked: Property conditions & facilities Heel goed hotel. ##### Mathilde Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ruth Oct 13, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities It was lovely to be in such a beautiful Historic building.
