Beautiful aesthetically romantic property in heart of stone town. Lots of shops around but a bit of a walking distance from where car drops you off, but that’s just how stone town was built.

Shaba boutique was in the middle of Stonetown on a beautiful and bustling street but not a loud street. The hotel staff was amazing, room was wonderful and general feel of the hotel was great. It is a no frills hotel and doesn’t serve lunch or dinner (but it does have a delicious breakfast) but we really enjoyed our stay there.

Couldn’t fault anything! Such a lovely and very boutiquey hotel with extremely comfortable beds. The staff were great - we arrived very late due to delayed flight but were welcomed and shown everything in the room. Breakfast was delicious - great fruit platters, decent coffee, lovely omelettes and probably best chapatis I’ve had anywhere. And breakfast staff also super friendly. Finally - they have a water and hot drinks station outside the rooms so you can help yourself - lovely touch. If there was one small negative it’s that although it’s very central I hadn’t realised that you have to walk about 5-10 minutes from a car drop off point - that’s fine if you have wheeled luggage but we didn’t!
