Top Livingstone's House Hotel Reviews

Spice Palace Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I would highly recommend this hotel in Stone Town. It is a wonderful place to stay with very friendly staff and functional facilities. The breakfast is also decent too! Oh and the proximity to the ferry and most places. Nice gem."

Park Hyatt Zanzibar

10/10 Excellent

"This property is a the most beautiful relaxing place to escape from the stresses of everyday life! Everything is perfect, the location, food, atmosphere, but mostly the endearing and helpful staff!"

Tembo House Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"An excellent place to stay. Clean and comfortable with three swimming pools and a game room that had ping pong and foosball. Unfortunately, there can be some noise from a nearby hotel with live music, but it doesn't seem to last very late. The timbo hotel itself was quiet. The buffet breakfast was excellent with many choices for vegetarian and vegan guests including soy milk."

Maru Maru Hotel

8/10 Good

"The location was ideal for wandering through Stone Town. The staff were friendly. The view from open patio dining area on the roof top was amazing. You must take advantage of wandering the many alley ways and shops. Lots to see in the area."

Emerson Spice Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Russell and the Emerson Soice team made us feel welcome from start to finish. A fabulous building with lots of history and in a great location in Stonetown. The rooms were all very individually themed and the bed was very comfortable. The fans and ac were welcomed for the warmer nights. The hotel private a great breakfast of fresh fruit, juice, eggs, pastries tea and coffee on the roof top tea house restaurant. Great views of Stonetown ! The Secret Garden restaurant served some lovely fresh dishes and drinks and there is live local music a couple of nights a week. Overall I’d highly recommend the Emerson Spice Hotel and thanks for a great stay (and thanks for the late checkout too)"

Mizingani Seafront Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The Mizangani Seafront Hotel was an amazing, atmospheric bit of old Zanzibar looking out on the Stone Town harbor, and across from the Dar es Salaam ferry landing. They served a wonderful breakfast on the veranda. The reception and breakfast staff were very helpful and gave us a warm welcome. Our room was spacious and filled with beautiful Zanzibari details."

Zanzibar Coffee House

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel was very nice. What comes to mind is quaint. The staff was airing and attentive. The location made it a little difficult to get your luggage in and out, but we managed. We would stay there again. It was close to the markets, making it a plus. The tours were outstanding. Zanzibar was a place to make memories."

Zanzibar Serena Hotel

8/10 Good
