If you're the type of traveler who eats at McDonald's in other country's, then this property is probably not for you, but if you want to immerse in the local culture, its fantastic. Make sure you specify a bathroom in your room, unless you're ok with sharing, and make sure you arrange for a pickup at the airport for transportation to the hotel. The street is about 5 feet wide, and the van has to park a few blocks away. The area adjacent to the hotel is a lot like Marrakech, Morrocco with narrow streets and shops. The people are very friendly, and its safe, even though its very exotic. My Google maps worked well thank God to find our way around. The staff are very warm and friendly. We highly recommend this hotel. Andy H.

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.

Arrived late, thankfully a driver of a friend called in to advise my flight had been canx so would not be arriving until 11pm. Trouble getting through to their phone or by email and facebook. Staff were welcoming though and showed me to my room. I did choose the cheaper room so bathroom was seperate. Not really an issue for me, but if it is for you make sure you book with ensuite. The hotel is old, but lovely, very traditional, basic but has an amazing rooftop terrace where you have breakfast and can also go up there for drinks or meals. They have a cafe with wondering baked goods, very popular and well known with other people. Location within the centre, alley ways no cars. It is like a labyrinth, my suggestion is to get a guide. A wonderful stay, staff lovely and people around very friendly.

Zanzibar coffee house provides a unique stay in gorgeous rooms. The staff was so friendly and welcoming. They provided recommendations of where to eat in Stone Town. They also make the best coffee! Breakfast on the rooftop was a highlight for us. Highly recommend.

The ladies working at the coffee house were so welcoming and friendly the moment I stepped foot on the property. The entire property, from rooms to the rooftop, were aesthetically pleasing. I only had their coffees and breakfast there and it was very delicious. The rooftop is also open to the public during certain hours of the day, so it can get crowded at times. The room I booked did not have an ensuite bathroom, but was a few meters away from the room and private, this could be the case for other rooms as well. Finally, taxis cannot drive up directly in front of the hotel so you must be dropped off somewhere near and it'll be a 2-3 minute walk to the hotel entrance. Aside from the very minor problems, I enjoyed my stay there and would highly recommend staying at Zanzibar Coffee house

If you are looking to stay in the heart of Stonetown look no further. The coffee and breakfast is easily the best on the island and the staff are UNBELIEVABLE! My wife is 5 months pregnant and fell sick 2 days into our trip, without asking the staff made her a local tea that is supposed to help with nausea and other ailments. Herensha, one of the managers helped us book a spice tour and checked in with us everyday to ensure our stay was perfect. I cannot express enough how the staff turns this already great hotel into a must stay in zanzibar!

I picked Zanzibar Coffee House because I like coffee, and it had a nice online presence. Not much to go by, eh? But I could not have made a better choice. From the moment I arrived the staff was friendly, helpful and a real joy to interact with. When I first arrived I was much too early to check in, but no problem, they stowed my luggage, provided me with some fresh mango juice at their rooftop cafe area - lovely. And when I asked for directions to a place to change money, the manager correctly sized me up as someone who easily gets lost, and had a staff member escort me to the best place to change money. My room was lovely, service was excellent, the breakfasts were yummy. I could not have been happier with my stay there.
