Stone Town House
Baghani Street 534, Zanzibar City, Tanzania – Excellent location - show map
A hostel that gets all the important stuff right - clean, comfortable beds, plugs by the bed (with EU plugs!), good AC, shower with good pressure etc. Very tasty breakfast at the Stone Town Café as well, with the best coffee I’ve had in Tanzania. But what really makes the place stand out is Simone - the human embodiment of “going above and beyond”. I was in Dar es Salaam for business and decided to hop over to Zanzibar for a weekend, without any real plans. Simone not only gave fantastic recommendations for how to spend the weekend, he even organised a scooter for me to rent and the Zanzibar driving permit. And all with a smile and great humour!
