The bathroom and the bedroom is far apart, so it was inconvenient every time I used it, Also the water in the shower room and sink was running low, making it very inconvenient to use too

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.

Unique stay and great coffee!
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
